Last All Candidates meeting that I know of in the Courtenay-Alberni riding. It is taking place at the Alberni District Secondary School.

This is a regular fixture in our local political scene for all elections. The students always come very prepared with excellent questions!

Alberni Valley News has published an article with bios for all 6 (!!) candidates running so far in the Courtenay-Alberni riding. (including the Fediverse-connected @chrismarkevich!)
We have a candidate for the Animal Protection Party of Canada!?
That's new to me!

In the small city of #Nanaimo Canada alone, grocery stores are forced to dump 500 kg of American produce PER DAY.
Why? Because Canadians aren’t buying ANYTHING American any more.
And probably for a very long time.
Well played, Trump.
Canadians appear to be waging war on Tesla.
Two Tesla chargers torched in Nanaimo, others damaged

THERE IS NO TSUNAMI DANGER
Here is the view of the earthquake - and a small aftershock - on my station.
Pretty cool.
But right now we just want to be sure no one was hurt. It is certainly strong enough for damage to be done.

The highway cams along #bchwy19 and #bchwy4 look like snow is concentrated near Buckley Bay on the north and then from Woodgrove to College Drive in Nanaimo. Compact snow in most places. Drive carefully if you are commuting.
The Hump is not bad but Sutton Pass looks snowy. Lots of snow on the West Coast!
Images are from Buckley Bay, Aulds Road (Woodgrove) and College Drive (VIU) and Taylor River.
Snowfall Warning for East Vancouver Island today
