For #MountainMonday: Low clouds swirl around Indian Arm and Mount Underhill with Hixon Peak and Mount Bonnycastle in the background. This view of Indian Arm and the surrounding mountains was photographed from Burnaby Mountain in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.
Very old (pre-covid) panorama photo of the view on Coliseum Mt. This is snow free only at the end of Summer (1400m altitude), it's a spectacular trail and view. Two approaches exist, the popular one with a 8km approach, then ascending a clearly flagged route up. Alternatively, you can cycle in 11km, then do a shorter but very steep and at times unmarked ascent, including a wonderful scree field, which I quite enjoyed. Cycling back at the end of the hike has some benefits in keeping your muscles from seizing up after a painful descent (+- 40% for 2 hours). Advisable to keep extra water/food on your bike, in my case I ran short with 5.5L for the day. Hoping to do it again this Summer. #pnw#hiking#britishcolumbia#nature#themountainiscalling#mountains
I have been updated on latest #Israel#genocide attacks & am upset that there's still no sanctions & no arms embargo on Israel. Our governments are complicit in silence of condemnations against Israel's genocide on #Palestinians & some governments are still funding a terrorist, pariah, apartheid state of ongoing evil, racist violence on all Palestinians.
I don't need to see more gore images. As a war survivor, I already know what bombs do to human bodies. Please CW very graphic images of murder
In #BritishColumbia#Canada specifically, our #BCNDP govt with federal govt approvals, created #RCMPCIRG in 2017. It's a #CorporateMercenaries unit, funded by public tax monies. Voluntary unit, no officers are forced to join it, some choose to. CIRG thugs get paid more money & dress in #militarized gear.
The documentary was not broadcast in #Canada. Hansen said the reason B.C.’s wood pellet industry is a focus in #UnitedKingdom is the #Drax Power Station in #England.
Members of the #Heiltsuk Nation in #BellaBella are calling for immediate suspension & removal of an #RCMP officer stationed in the remote coastal community for reportedly making #racist comments on social media.

An electrolyzer uses #electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen & it’s believed the 3 stations will help support a North Vancouver facility which liquefies upwards of 15 tonnes of hydrogen per day.
The previous barriers to land ownership were a holdover from when #Canada considered #Indigenous people and governments to be wards of the government, according to Braker. Before the 1960s, governments required #FirstNations to get the approval of #IndianAgents before buying land.
Even after the practice was abolished, #BritishColumbia had its own #legislation preventing First Nations from holding property.
"We processed our huge clams harvest from our weekend village clam digging. We have extra clam meat for you. Froze them & I can drop off some freezer bags filled with them. I'll be in your area tonight, so let me know when you'll be around!"
My Indigenous friends are very kind, generous & thoughtful 💗 They bring my family seafood, year round.

In March, a small #nonprofit in #BritishColumbia cut 10 cheques worth approximately $5,500 each & hand delivered them to as many #FirstNations on southern #VancouverIsland. The money, collected in the second half of 2023, is the first annual installment of #voluntary#rents paid by residents & business owners who live & work on the First Nations’ homelands.
