#tofino — Public Fediverse posts

The Federal NDP are on Vancouver Island strategizing for the upcoming Parliament.

Interim leader Davies:

""There's an ebb and flow to politics and I view it as an opportunity for our party to regenerate, to reimagine what a bold, progressive NDP looks like on the federal scene.””

I loved Jack Layton too, but I think it is time to leave Jack to the past. They really need to find someone who is here, in this moment, and can present a real vision for Canadians to strive for and achieve that is the opposite of what the Conservatives and Red-Tory Liberals are trying to do.

That was a once in a lifetime experience and I am grateful for it, even if I feel slightly bleary eyed!

Hard to show the scale of this old growth beauty from this shot. It takes about 4 humans, holding hands, to hug the whole trunk of this ancient yellow cedar tree.

With #Namgis #FirstNation crew at 2022 #WildSalmon #flotilla #protest in #Tofino. This flotilla was led by Namgis Chief, Ernest Alfred - in the middle of photo.

Our boat captain is on far right, Willie Mitchell, Indigenous former #NHL player. I was invited to join Namgis leaders boat for this flotilla.

Thanks to former NHL Canucks' Willie Mitchell for taking us out on his nice boat.

I have a recurring annual calendar appointment for March 16. Today is the 102nd anniversary of Comox-Alberni MP A.W. Neill's first speech in his 21 year career in the House of Commons (1921-45) where he called for a "white British Columbia”.

Neill was a white supremacist, anti-Asian racist, and one of the loudest voices for Japanese Internment. He was also an Indian Agent dealing with First Nations and Residential Schools on Vancouver Island's West Coast.

In 2021 his name was removed from a local school but he remains honoured with a street name.

I will continue reminding people of this until that honour is removed.

(A full report about him starts on page 82 of the City of Port Alberni Agenda from January 23, 2017)

Photos from #Tofino #WildSalmon #FishFarmsOut #Flotilla #Protest led by #Indigenous #FirstNations leaders from #VancouverIsland. Wild salmon are a #keystonespecies & need protection. Government failed on federal & provincial levels to help #SaveWildSalmon & they're at risk of #extinction in my lifetime. #MotherNature needs humans to stand up, speak out & take actions to try to protect #WildFirst - we're past tipping points w/rampant #ecocide & need to stop trying to profit from nature. #Canada
