Luke Nichols from the Outdoor Boys was a guest speaker at George Mason's Law School commencement this year.
Here's his full speech, which I think is worth watching if you're a 2026 college graduate

MLA @NdpJoan voted in the #bcleg just now (remotely), for the first time in several weeks. She has been ill, with @Dave_Eby recently asking for prayers for her health.
With her voting, and @JohnRustad4BC away in France, the NDP have a workable majority.

Fun fact: Not a single BC park name actually includes the word “provincial.” This has been true for at least 26 years. See for yourself: bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/docum…
I was called a “conspiracy theorist” in Parliament so I brought the receipts!
Yesterday in the BC Legislature the government was asked why the word Provincial is being quietly scrubbed from our park signs.
They called it a conspiracy theory and said they were just modernizing with a logo.
The truth is in their own manuals. I did the digging and here is what they aren’t telling you.
The official BC Writing Guide now labels the term British Columbians as exclusionary. Their new rule is to call yourselves people living in BC.
Internal BC Parks documents describe our park system as part of a colonial history.
By their logic Provincial is a colonial word that has to go.
Go to the BC Parks website and search for the word Provincial. You will get zero results. They are erasing the word before your very eyes.
I found the Renaming Checklist they are using to swap out park names. Removing Provincial from the sign is just step one.
They are spending $16,000 per sign to remove the name of our province while hiking camping fees by up to $25 per night to pay for it.
Don’t let them gaslight you. The theory is a fact and the receipts are right here. 🚩
Is this inclusion or an identity disappearance act? Let me know in the comments. 👇

I’ve stepped down as a team captain for Caroline Elliott. You can compromise on strategy, but not on core values. Buying out debate seats, backing out with shifting excuses, and staff going after volunteers crossed that line for me. #bcpoli #leadershipdebate #vanpoli

🚨 BC Conservative leadership race digital ad snapshot (last 30 days): one candidate is dominating the Meta battlefield.
@NVanCaroline has spent $32.7K - more than 2× all other candidates combined.
That’s a strong early signal in the ad race.

If you are going to politicize the horrible tragedy in Tumbler Ridge on the day that so many British Columbian families have been devastated then you are a ghoul.
I don't care whether it's from the right or the left, please find some humanity in your dark soul.

While polling still shows separatism is a minority view, people who are committed to a united Canada really should not assume that this movement is just a fringe imo, it has legs and given how volatile the world feels right now, a lot can happen.
And especially for eastern Canadian commentators (like myself), I really implore people to not to mockingly or condescendingly dismiss this. Take this seriously.

Let this forever dispel the MAGA-myth that Trump was using tariffs to correct trade deficits with other countries.
This is no different than threatening Macron with tariffs on wine and champagne to compel him to join the so-called “Board of Peace.”
He uses them to coerce, to threaten and to compel nations to do whatever he wants them to do - any fleeting thought or desire that comes to his head is followed by another tariff threat.
President Trump 8 Days Ago: "If Canada can get a trade deal with China, they should do that."
President Trump Today: "If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% tariff."

Canadians need to pay attention to moment 6:30 here where the US Treasury Secretary clearly indicates a desire to use Alberta separatism to absorb that province into the USA.

That is why floor crossing should be allowed. It is the only thing that keeps party leaders, which are way too powerful as it is, in check.

What rule would protect the sanctity of representative democracy in this situation? Parties are already far too powerful in our parliamentary system.
