I don't mind the foggy west coast winters at all, but it's damn nice when the sun makes an unexpected appearance. #nanaimo #sundayvibes #vanvouverisland

#amreading I grabbed this one because my current WIP is set in northwest BC, but I'm enjoying it more than I expected. The format took a bit of getting used to though.

"You idiot! The mandates are provincial, not federal!" Man, I feel bad for residents of Ottawa. Sure hope this ends soon. #GoHomeTruckers

Well, our New Year's Day tradition of blowing up the gingerbread house with fireworks didn't quite work out this year. Still fun though. #NewYear2022 #newyearday #redneckshit

Our weird/redneck #holiday tradition... My daughter decorates a lovely #gingerbread house just before #ChristmasEve On NY's day, my bro and I stuff it full of firecrackers, sprinkle on a little gas and we all gather to watch the candy shards fly. 🧨🤯 Its days are numbered⬇️

Suzuki was later asked whether or not he supported the bombing of pipelines and said, “of course not.” That's what right-wing politicians are (willfully) missing. Suzuki's comments weren't a threat, but a warning of what could happen. #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis

And this chaos happened just within the past 5 months! Meanwhile, oil and gas companies continue to get $3.3 billion annually in federal subsidies 🤔 #ClimateAction #ClimateEmergency #bcstorms
It took me almost an hour to make this. It's not exhaustive, and hoping this won't be updated for remainder of year. #BCFloods

They arrived at my door wearing misshapen masks and vintage clothes. None of them held sacks for candy or yelled 'trick or treat.' But the little one in the skull helmet pointed down the street. I saw nothing. But I felt the air turn heavy and sour and rotten.#trickortweet2021

Wow @SpartanRace - “F” rating by the @bbb_us because you don’t respond to complaints (most of which are for your refund policy). Sure, ignoring it people is one business strategy. #iwantarefund

Yikes, judging by their BBB profile it looks like it's not just @SpartanCanada pulling this crap: bbb.org/us/ma/boston/profile… If you're considering @SpartanRace or @ToughMudder races, be warned.
