Dad. Policy wonk by day (food systems and climate); tired by night. Passionate about doing government better. Opinions my own. RTs ≠ endorsements.

A flyover of the Chilcotin River earlier today. The slide is significant as too is the water being held back. More updates to follow when we better assess the situation. Please follow all of the alerts and emergency orders being issued here: emergencyinfobc.gov.bc.ca/event/31july24… #bcpoli

Absolute bananas. @the_cra needs to fix this stat. Fundamentally unacceptable to say that any renter (but especially a low-income renter) needs to determine the residency of their landlord and manage tax payments on the behalf of a foreign resident landlord.
Jack Hauen@jackhauen

The CRA confirms that tenants are responsible for withholding 25% of their foreign landlords' rent and paying it to the CRA — something almost no one was aware of a month ago. "The Government of Canada continuously reviews the tax system to ensure it is both fair and efficient."

Yikes. Even with food prices increasing by ~20% between Feb 2021 to Feb 2024, per capita expenditure went DOWN by a similar amount. That means people are doing big substitutions in their purchases for cheaper products and, in many cases, simply purchasing less overall food. 😬
The Food Professor@FoodProfessor

This is troubling. According to Statistics Canada, the average Canadian is spending less than $250 a month on groceries (retail). That's a 19% decrease compared to January 2021.

Get ready for fruit to (continue to) cost more and taste worse. And also (since farmers always more adaptable than they are given credit for) lots of experimentation new varietals and switching to new more variability-hardy crops entirely. theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

@DylanSherlock @bcndp @nathancullen @Dave_Eby ...guarantees of increased access. The broken paradigm identified by the OGSR is the prioritization of timber over all other values --fixing that means working the forest industry in around conservation, not keeping it the other way around.

The @bcndp has a pretty big messaging problem here. Ministers like Ralston talk about increasing access to timber for logging corporations, which directly contradicts the conservation, ecosystem health and biodiversity goals touted by @nathancullen and @Dave_Eby. #bcpoli 1/2
Bruce Ralston@BruceRalston

Congratulations to @AndrewMercierBC on his appointment as Minister of State for Sustainable Forestry Innovation. I look forward to working with him to increase industry’s access to timber and address the urgent demand of secondary and value-added manufacturers.

@TorranceCoste @bcndp @nathancullen @Dave_Eby But curious if at large you are seeing a trend to messaging about increasing timber access - I am sure you are more exposed to this than I am, it's just I have only heard the opposite message - that timber supply is declining and industry needs to learn how to do more with less.

Academic article but worth a read for folks on Coast Salish territories on the history of Coast Salish woolly dogs. I have been fascinated for years around the question of what happened to these dogs. Very cool that these researchers did this deep dive. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@H2cents @marinapsaros There are actually some pretty cool open source programs for wildfire response and forest fuel management out there. Some enterprising game developer could probably pretty them up into something fun and educational. I would play it at least lol...

@H2cents @marinapsaros Also a sim city for forestry, where your cheap poorly planted monocrop tree farm turns into a giant conflagration before you have a chance to harvest it.

My daughter wrote her name successfully for the first time without anyone there helping her today. Unfortunately, she wrote it (and other attempts) in pen on the cover (inside dust jacket) of our copy of James Herriot's Treasury for Children. 😂 I guess it is a great keepsake.

I am a bit shook looking into this - if you look back at almost any bike lane project in the city, there is federal and provincial funding that was brought in and used to not only build a bike lane but move forward with road resurfacing that that had been delayed for years.

@ChillAsHellYYJ Restore/Habitat for Humanity is a good bet. They can handle much more eclectic donations too (since they resell parts as well as finished goods).

This was a very good discussion on Indigenous food sovereignty and food security by two of the leading Indigenous thinkers on this topic. Highly recommend. thenarwhal.ca/food-sovereign…
