  19. Upcoming #lecture talk at #UVIC.

    From #Forests Frayed to Forests Renewed.
    April 16, 2026.

    Join us April 16, 2026 at the University of Victoria for a thought-provoking talk with keynote speaker Ben Parfitt as he explores, Forests Frayed to Forests Renewed: The Case for Rezoning BC’s Public Lands.

    Ben has covered #forestry and natural resource issues in #BritishColumbia since the 1980s both as a journalist and in his previous role as senior public policy analyst with the now-closed Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, BC Office. He is currently a reporter with The Tyee where he covers the forestry and oil and gas industries, among others, and their impacts on critical natural resources like water.

    In his talk, Ben will explain the consequences of today’s outdated land use policies and outline how rezoning BC’s public lands can set us on a more desirable course by conserving at-risk primary forests, restore lands scarred by industrialization and support jobs in a refocused, value-oriented forest industry.

    Whether you’re an activist, policy maker or someone passionate about environmental preservation this is a talk you won’t want to miss.

  21. After three decades working in addiction recovery, I've seen a crucial pattern: social connections are key to long-term success. Society must shift from stigma to support, treating addiction as the medical condition it is. Punitive approaches hinder recovery. We need policies that support reintegration and reduce relapse risks.

  23. Governments are finally pushing back — another Aussie city is cracking down on Airbnb and short-term rentals, forcing investors to rethink the “easy money” model.
    Property should be for homes, not profit-machines. These reforms show that some leaders are prioritising the long-term housing needs of people, not just the wealthy few who view homes as cash cows.
