I've been described as a tree hugger, mountain man, photog, designer and drifter. I admit to all of the above.

How I'm feeling in BC today:
Dear Lobbyists,
Don't contact me if you want to dilute or slow climate action.
Just don't.
None of us are going fast enough.
We can't negotiate with science.
The costs of inaction are here and huge.
Instead, let's do more, faster, together.

It takes curiosity to learn. It takes courage to unlearn.
Learning requires the humility to admit what you don't know today.
Unlearning requires the integrity to admit that you were wrong yesterday.
Learning is how you evolve. Unlearning is how you keep up as the world evolves.

Dolphins play the Bills again on Halloween. If they are going to play like this, they may as well dress up as folding tables.

I love Wolf Lake, a unique ecological gem that is home to the world’s largest old growth red pine forest. Only 1.2% of the world’s old growth red pine forest remains and it deserves protection from #onpoli. youtu.be/kIQ-7INTIlE via @YouTube

The West Coast is on fire, the color of the sky turned red, the air in many parts of the U.S. is dangerous to breathe, there are 5 simultaneous tropical cyclones in the Atlantic, an 800-mile derecho destroyed Iowa towns. And yet they ask: How can we afford the Green New Deal?

Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president.

This column is wrong on a number of levels and a cautionary example of the sort of rigid carbon pricing orthodoxy that has, thankfully, started to lose its grip on the climate change debate in this country. #cdnpoli 1/5 theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

Donald Trump really just had the police fire tear gas and rubber bullets at peaceful protestors in Washington D.C. to clear the streets for a photo op at a church he doesn't attend with a book he's never read that teaches lessons he doesn't preach. Unbelievable.

Today, the first day of Pride Month, feels like a good time to remind everyone that the only reason we have LGBTQI2+ rights is because of the Bathhouse Raid Protests and Stonewall Riots that started as protests led by people who sought an end to police brutality.

Everybody who didn't know is seeing America as it truly is right now. Can't provide resources for the pandemic but has all the resources at the ready to murder civilians in the street and teargas anyone who objects.

More peaceful protestors and journalists have been jailed in the past week than all the bankers who were jailed for fraud during the financial collapse.

I gotta be honest the worst looting I've ever seen take place happened a few weeks ago when corporations collected over 500 billion dollars in stimulus money while everyone else was left with a $1200 dollar check and having to decide if they pay for food or rent..
