  2. #VictoriaBC MP @[email protected] ran on a platform that mentioned climate change 28 times, and did not mention pipelines once. Stephen Guilbeault did something significant about Carney's betrayal. Will Greaves can too. Everyone has choices to make. #yyj #cdnpoli #bcpoli

  3. Will #yyj MP @[email protected] be the next MP to decide that he didn’t sign up to be part of a 'worse than Harper on climate' government? How much evil and stupid can a smart and ethical person like Will stomach? (Stand by for similar Qs re good people in Eby's cabinet) #cdnpoli #bcpoli

  5. Paddling under #SelkirkTrestle bridge, on the #GorgeWaterway.

    The Selkirk Trestle is a #historic wooden railway bridge in Victoria, British Columbia. Spanning 302 meters (approximately 991 feet) over the Gorge Waterway, it connects the neighborhoods of Burnside-Gorge & Victoria West. Built in 1917 for the Canadian Northern Railway (later part of Canadian National Railway), it originally carried freight, including forest products, to industrial areas in Victoria. The bridge features a rare Scherzer rolling lift (bascule) span, approximately 37 meters long. It was traditionally hand-operated to allow tall vessels to pass through the Selkirk Arm of the Gorge Waterway.

    Today, it is part of the Galloping Goose Regional Trail, which runs for 55 km from Victoria to Sooke on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
