Having a list will also help us to calibrate how much capacity we need to start. (And thus the financial resources!). Even if you're not 100% sure, but are interested, please do let us know. I promise we won't force anyone! lol!

#PleaseBoost! It's exciting to be starting up a new regional #Mastodon for British Columbia when there is so much change and growth in the #OpenSocialWeb #Fediverse!

We're not ready to open up the gates… still setting up the banking stuff among other things.

But if you're in BC and are interested in making your home on this instance please send me or @PhotographyElf a DM and we'll start making a (private) list so that we can let you know when we're ready! (Hoping Jan 1!)

One of the endearing things about local politics are the very local traditions tied up in them. In the City of #PortAlberni when there is an election, and to determine a random order on the ballot, the names of the candidates for Council get drawn out of the top hat of the first Mayor of Port Alberni, AE Waterhouse. The hat has an awesome case.

This happened on Friday. A by-election is on to fill the seat left after a councillor passed away suddenly this summer. #RIP

A picture of a man and woman standing to one side of a council chamber. We see a large wooden table in front of them with an old purple felt lined top hat case with the letters “A.E.W.N.” embossed in gold lettering on the front. The woman is holding the hat carefully from the bottom. She is wearing white gloves. The man is reaching into the hat to draw a name on a small slip of paper.

Huh. Petro Canada is discontinuing their dedicated EV App. I notice also that Shell's dedicated app has disappeared. Looks like they are rolling it into their main apps.

PETRO CANADA
Petro-Canada™ EV App Retirement
Canada's Electric Highway™ is getting an upgrade. As part of this
journey, the current Petro-Canada EV app will be retired on
December 4, 2024.
For EV drivers, you can continue to find Petro-Canada sites with EV fast
chargers in the Petro-Canada app or online at Petro-Canada.ca. Drivers
can continue to activate the EV chargers through the payment terminals
on the charger through tap enabled credit and debit cards.
App users who would like to have their account information deleted can
email customerservice@petro-canada.ca from their Petro-Canada EV
app account email to request deletion. Full directions are available here.
Thank you for pioneering the EV space with us!
Petro-Canada EV Charging Team.
This is an app update notice, which is why you are receiving it even if you
have opted out of Petro-Canada marketing and promotional emails.

@sleepy62 thanks. both for the compliment and the validation. I don't know how to show that the cost to rebuild the railway is in line with or very likely cheaper than the regular maintenance on a highway.

Most regular people tune out as soon as math is involved (rightly so).

But the bigger problem is government. They just don't seem to care about public opinion on this topic. They obviously don't think it will change their electoral prospects and they clearly have another ideology.

A picture of a data screen on the dashboard. It shows the odometer at 256,683 km. It shows a trip summary Distance 82.4 km time one hour two minutes consumption 5.3 per 100 km and savings $1.02. I believe the savings is compared to gas consumption of 10 per 100.

@kboyd it did definitely improve active transportation! But the congestion on Highway 1 remains. We know all too well that expanding highways just induces demand and creates more traffic. We desperately need to break that cycle.

For a look at just how easy it would be to reconnect this section of railway. (hint: a fraction of the work of the McKenzie Interchange in Victoria which cost $100 Million and didn't solve the Colwood Crawl). You can check out this blog with designs.

I made an impromptu video yesterday afternoon as I was driving through Snaw-Naw-As territory and noticed machines pulling up the railway tracks on the reserve.
No, this isn't the end for the railway.
Yes, this is good for reconciliation.
Yes, the Government still has a transportation problem and a public demand for use of the railway that it continues to ignore.
