RIP to one of the greats, Sly Dunbar, who passed this week. I spun some of the albums he plays on, in tribute this week: Grace Jones, King Tubby, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Herbie Hancock, Peter Tosh, Lover's Rock, Max Romeo & The Upsetters... many of these are masterpieces. What a legend.

Alberta is harming Canadian sovereignty by asking the US for funding to start their supposed new country. I think our fed gov't should cease all support for pipeline routes through what might then be a foreign country (Canada), if these treasonous Albertans have their way. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Alberta premier says she’s ruled out Kitimat, B.C., for proposed pipeline route | CBC News
Speaking at a news conference Thursday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said the route to Kitimat would be “too complex," saying there are "too many channels to navigate."

Like, they know the videos are publicly available and completely, absolutely refute their incredible lies. And yet, the shameless lying continues. What a sick administration.

It was significant enough for me to keep a clip from the newspaper, when George W Bush said: "I heard somebody say, 'Where is Mandela?Well, Mandela's dead. Because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas."
Thought it was the dumbest thing I’d heard a US president say…

Consent, climate and cost failures… here’s another reason why the north coast pipeline won’t be built, it’s reckless.

As Vancouver’s arts funding dries up thx to the skewed priorities of the Sim/ABC gov’t, it’s hitting hard and fast in our communities. Repair cafes, art galleries, studio spaces all suffering… here’s a take and plea for support from Gallery 881. www.gallery881.com/fundraiser-2...

Vote for the Canada Liberal Party and you’re gonna get some pipelines. They’re the only ones building the things - Trudeau’s oil sands expansion and now Carney’s capitulation, all to make Alberta happy. How’d that work out for Trudeau last time, tho?

Vancouver council votes to cut arts, culture & community service funding while also increasing fees at Parks Board facilities. Big winners from this budget are the cops who got yet another massive budget increase of $50 million. Why, do they run this town? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It was a surprise to see American White Pelicans on Anahim Lake in BC's Chilcotin Plateau earlier this summer. Captured a few frames as they floated by and watched soaring white birds cruise across the lake as well.
