Western Hudson Bay polar bears are doing what is expected: they're racing out across the Bay as the ice forms. Naive seals have likely forgotten about polar bears having lazed about offshore with nothing trying to eat them for months. [onland = radios that have stopped working]

Only need to look at the population forecast to see the explosion in seniors numbers. For example, those over 90 years old will rise 5 fold in the next 20 years in Kamloops. But as usual the government will turn its attention to the grey wave in just over 25 years from now.
#BCHealth Ministry confirms approval to develop business plan that examines long-term care needs in #Kamloops, including conditions of 50+ year old Ponderosa & Overlander facilities, "on hold" Ministry's offered little explanation why the would-be planning document isn’t being green lit for funding castanet.net/news/Kamloops/5… #bcpoli

Agree, with the rapid increase in the Citiy's median age, we need a new approach to seniors living, ensuring residents can age in place within the community.

When we build sidewalks & multi use paths, we are serving our disabled residents. #kamloops
“…disabled people are actually less likely to drive than nondisabled people and more likely to get around by walking and rolling and taking transit. Car-heavy cities are also disproportionately dangerous for disabled folks…” #Accessibility motherjones.com/environment/…

In 1983, I was a co-op student creating computer reports on BC timber stumpage fees in support Canada’s trade dispute with US. 40+yrs on, softwood tariffs persist. Trump’s tariff threats have the potential of persisting for decades. #cdnpoli

Last week was @fcm_online Advocacy Days in Ottawa. Local government electeds go to Ottawa to meet with their federal MPs and Senators. Politics can sometimes seem contentious, but this work was very affirming. different orders of government came together to discuss & listen.
