Beau sent me an update photo of the #DugoutCanoe that some students at Wellington high school in #Nanaimo are working to help carve. It is coming along so beautifully!

He is off work from public schools this Summer & is open for #CoastSalish #ArtCommissions.

Alberni Valley News has published an article with bios for all 6 (!!) candidates running so far in the Courtenay-Alberni riding. (including the Fediverse-connected @chrismarkevich!)

We have a candidate for the Animal Protection Party of Canada!?
That's new to me!
All other major parties are accounted for.

Oh, and... love our local journalists keeping the community informed!!

OH LAWD THEY COMIN' #nanaimo

#Earthquake (#séisme) M2.3 strikes 24 km SW of #Nanaimo (#Canada) 3 min ago. More info: https://m.emsc.eu/?id=1785466

In the small city of #Nanaimo Canada alone, grocery stores are forced to dump 500 kg of American produce PER DAY.

Why? Because Canadians aren’t buying ANYTHING American any more.

And probably for a very long time.

Well played, Trump.

Canadians appear to be waging war on Tesla.

Two Tesla chargers torched in Nanaimo, others damaged

Hey #Nanaimo folks. I'll be up your way April 8th-11th. I am meeting & working with a new client who is moving from Nanaimo to Victoria in May. I will have some free time on some afternoons & evenings if Fedi friends want to meet up (DM please & thank you).
I'll be up that way again in May & a few other times this Spring-Fall too, for 2-3 nights each trip, for some cultural reconnection collabs & grassroots, decolonized, community building.

Petty as fuck

A friend invited my wife out to see Colin James at the Port Theatre in #Nanaimo and has subsequently got sick so can’t go. My wife asked if I’d like to go with her. We’ve known each other 55 years and this might be the first time she’s asked me out on a date. I said yes. This could evolve into a long term relationship. #Blues #RockAndRoll #Dating #VancouverIsland #pnw
