My husband's family has been evacuated because of the Bradley Creek fire. It is dangerously close to their house. My thoughts are with everyone affected by the wildfires in BC and across Canada. There is a lot of anxiety and sadness. Year after year this happens. It's heartbreaking. #BCwildfires

As this incredibly hot summer progresses, and now wildfires in northern ON are devastating entire communities while smoke blankets southern regions, threatening vulnerable citizens, I urgently want to talk about #climatechange policy. @mattbrownldn.bsky.social just reminded me that we did last year.

New favourite mug. Particularly appropriate right now. Year after year wildfires impact Canadians. People are suffering tremendous loss with the Ontario fires. Here the smoke is thick. We should not normalize air quality so bad kids can’t play outside. It’s time to get serious about climate change.
