A Utah man's trip to Vancouver Island earlier this month was almost ruined, but he managed to complete the 75-kilometre hike thanks to the kindness of strangers.
Hi, I’m Haiyue. I am the Co-Founder of Demonic Trader, a Canadian marketplace for Trading Card Games. I am also Co-Chair of the VML, a (soon-to-be nonprofit!) organisation breaking down gender barriers in tabletop games. Sometimes I do tournament coverage for various #magicthegathering events.
I’m based in #Vancouver#BC, the most beautiful city in the world.
Forget permafrost, we're on the cusp of permafire up here.
The giant Donnie Creek #wildfire in northern #BC 🇨🇦 -- already almost as big as Prince Edward Island -- is expected to burn through the fall and possibly be extinguished in the winter.
--or, it could smoulder through the winter and reemerge next spring.
A B.C. family has garnered sympathy online — and international media attention — after sharing what they described as an incident in which a man questioned their nine-year-old daughter's gender during a sporting event.
British Columbians excited by the expanded rebate program to help them purchase an e-bike had to be quick to claim their money, as just the first 4,000 applicants had their rebates processed right away.
#ClimateDiary This morning a Canadian friend here in Eastbourne told me she has many friends who moved to #BritishColumbia for beautiful, idyllic rural lives but who now have to deal with #wildfires all the time. She sent me this 2018 article which captures all this so well. “I now see trees differently, as fire hazards”.
But she also told me that her friends in #BC do not want to admit this. They never mention the fires, 1/2
With the dense #smoke from #Canadian#wildfires blanketing #NYC today, I've seen a bunch of comments from #Americans along the lines of "Wow, how bad must in be in Canada?"
This is counter-intuitive, but I'm in the Canadian #prairies. There are wildfires across northern #Saskatchewan, #Alberta, and #BC. And we haven't had any smoke here for weeks.
The smoke can go up into the #atmosphere, drift a long way, and then be pressed down to the ground again by a high-pressure system.
