Anymore mining will leave little habitat left intact in Treaty #3 to exercise Treaty Rights. Climate change, flooding, winds, forestfires and heatwaves threaten us, animals fish. We can preserve the forest waters now. Over centuries its value will be limitless for next gens.
My biggest regret is working for the oil industry. I was an addict. I sold out my teachings and values for money so I could drink every day. The resource industry must end. Including mining. It's destroying lands, waters increasing the climate crisis. We can be sustainable.

I retired from NASA 8 years ago today thinking I would never go back to space. But I've learned: never say never. I'm incredibly grateful to my NASA family and my Axiom family for believing in me, opening new doors, and allowing me to be part of human spaceflight. Grateful beyond words!

You don’t actually have to be good at your hobbies. You can just enjoy them and be bad at them.

Manitoba becomes the 1st province in Canada to mandate nurse-to-patient ratios. As a former ward nurse who often cared for 8 patients at a time, the move toward a 1:4 nurse-to-patient ratio is great news. This means safer care for patients & a more sustainable nursing workforce.

Eric, will you re-open supervised consumption sites so people have somewhere to go, or is the plan simply more arrests and incarceration? We've tried the enforcement-first approach for decades. If it worked, we wouldn't be losing so many people. Driving people out of public view doesn't make drug use disappear. It drives people to use alone, which leads to more overdoses, more brain injuries, and more deaths. Addiction is a chronic relapsing condition. Many of the people who died had already been through recovery treatment and prison numerous times. Harm reduction isn't the opposite of recovery. It keeps people alive long enough to reach it. I hope this helps.
Let me be clear that when it comes to public order, I will put transit riders first. That means I’d demand cities enforce strict rules against drug use, menace, occupying multiple seats, blocking aisles, playing audio without headphones, smoking, vaping, camping, and other anti-social conduct that drives paying riders off public transit systems. Repeat offenders should face escalating consequences up to and including involuntary solutions. We do not have to tolerate disorder. And I’ll invest in space to help those in need at the same time. But we should not be a culture that valorizes bad personal conduct as empathy.

Aamjiwnaang First Nation sits within one of Canada's most concentrated industrial regions, often referred to as Chemical Valley. For decades, industrial development proceeded around the community with limited Indigenous participation in decision-making, causing irreparable damage to the environment and the community. Today, First Nations continue to advocate for stronger environmental protections and greater respect for their rights and jurisdiction. #NIHM2026

Spent the day sans signal hiking and swimming at Golden Ears Park here in BC. 🇨🇦 I planned to gun it and do this big long hike but these older ladies weren’t sure where to go so I found a more meaningful and fulfilling task of helping them hike and lending a hand and a bunch of random factoids about fungi and nature. It ended up filling my heart in a way I really needed. Say Yes to people who need your help. You may end up helping yourself. 🖤

Kiniw is a familiar face in the Kitigan Zibi community, a reserve next to Maniwaki. At this year's traditional Pow-wow, he was named a 'lead dancer' along with three other young people from the community. youtu.be/WYBosQ_jcfI
