Fire at Value Village ImageImage
Seems to have been in back storage area. Very smoky. Cleanup mode now, but roads closed in all directions. ImageImage
Three alarm fire. Cleanup now. Very preliminary as to what, but early look is it is an external fire that started between these two trailers during that massive lightning storm. But again, this is super preliminary. Investigation underway. No reported injuries #cityofpg Image

I haven't really said anything about the province lifting the mask mandate but now that I've been out and seen a ton of people not wearing masks in stores because it's voluntary: What a dumb thing to do
At the very least wait until everyone who would like to he double dosed has a chance. My parents are in their sixties and just got a shot in the last few days. Two weeks til immunity. I still don't have an appointment. Not loving having a bunch of people not wearing masks around
I know cases are low but people are still going to hospital, still dying and still spreading. Chances are lower but still you're a grocery store cashier and now it's optional for every vaxx denier who walks in to wear a mask? I'm sure it feels good

A while ago I wanted to start a thread talking about how I think there is probably a link between media concentration and areas with lower trust in vaccines/covid-19 modelling. This thread is basically what I would have said
This is why I react so viscerally when Vancouver is represented as all of B.C. "British Columbia enjoying warm spring" when most of the province is blanketed by snow is maybe minor but also sends the message "we are ignoring you" to the rest of the province
and when you see that daily, it's very easy for the narrative to take hold that "they" don't care about "us"

Judge suspended order for six months just so industry and province can figure it out.

I'm not sure it can be understated how much of an impact this could have.

It's not about one big project. It's about dozens of smaller ones, chipping away at the natural landscape with approval of province and in violation of Indigenous sovereignty

A friend, who is also a person with disabilities, sent me this. It's part of a broader letter they are writing attempting to access supports. It's been sitting heavy with me and I'm glad they shared "COVID was the first t...
They sent if after reading this story about a man who attempted to access mental health supports multiple times but did not receive the care he needed. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
Full text of the note: "COVID was the first time the general population had restrictions placed on their daily activities. I hoped it would facilitate a greater understanding from friends/family of my daily experience as a PWD. It did facilitate a level of understanding at first"

For weeks, people in Prince George have been calling for the city to set up a permanent space for homeless campers.

Instead, the city starts serving eviction notices tomorrow. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

Earlier this spring, a rally and march were held by people wanting a permanent homeless encampment somewhere away from the downtown. The city says there are enough shelter spaces that it is not needed. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
There are a wide variety of reasons people don't want to use shelters including rules around sobriety (which is difficult when you are managing addiction) and a desire to stay with partners cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
