Happy New Year 2026 - as 2025 comes to an end, let's look to this tiny tree for a lesson in persistence. The large stump washed ashore. Weathered by the years, sitting at the high tide line, someone decided to set fire to it. And yet - here is a tiny sapling that has taken root and flourished.
the many aspects of Liǧʷiɫdax̌ʷ (Discovery) Passage , Campbell River British Columbia. I never tire of the view. #VanIsle #VancouverIsland #seascape

Janis La Couvée@lacouvee.bsky.social · 2y agoRights - what's the sweet spot for you as a writer? Many magazines revert rights to the author upon publication, but others ask for 3 months, 6 months,a year before reverting. Some even ask not to share the full piece. Is there a deal-breaker for you? #WritingCommunity #PoetryCommunity #BskyPoets
@jordinowrites.bsky.social congratulations - I loved "Ode to Moo Deng" and, I may be the only person who had never heard of her.

Reformed Reformer and Part Owner of Canada 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇱🇵🇦🏳️🌈@reformedreformer.bsky.social · last yr.Hey! You! #Saanich-GulfIslands voters!! Smarten up, would you? You're seriously going to let some POS CPC member best out one of the most consequential politicians of our time? Every single Liberal & NDP voter needs to switch gears and vote for Elizabeth! #VoteElizabethMay !!!
My dad spent six years in Europe and North Africa fighting fascism so I could vote - unhindered. No armed militia, no one turning me away because of my sex, skin colour, religious affiliation, lack of "proper" papers. Simply a polite line that moved slowly to the Elections Canada official. #elxn45
There's a whole other world north of Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Same for a trip to Powell River and the Sunshine Coast. #votetanille for NIPR.

PSA for Victoria’s progressive voters: it is OKAY to vote NDP! @laurelcollins.bsky.social has been a strong voice for our community just like Charlie Angus is a strong voice right now for our country. #ElbowsUp #cdnpoli #yyjpoli #Canada #yyj
Charlie Angus@charlieangus104.bsky.social · 2y agoPlease check out the speech I gave in Cumberland, British Columbia. We are holding the line across this country. Canada is a light in a time of darkness and we will never kiss that gangster's ring. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqU6...
there isn't a better place on Vancouver Island for @charlieangus104.bsky.social #ElbowsUp tour than Cumberland, home since the early 1900s to labour and political activists who worked tirelessly to enshrine the rights many take for granted. See you there? #elxn45
