@jfmezei @sundogplanets it’s so completely messed up. I have seen official and semi-official websites and settings referring to Vancouver BC as:

Mountain Standard Time (MST - Debian)
Pacific Daylight Time (PDT - Apple)
Pacific Standard Time (PST - datetime.app)
Pacific Time (PCT - BCGov/IANA)

operation with a lot of moving parts. They have a massive fleet of boats, the need to fuel and keep them supplied, they need to, on their own volition, sort out capital funding and manage long term debt. There's 1 shareholder, BCGOV, and they have a mandate to provide maritime passenger service.

Granted it was waaay back when I went in there one time, it was an office meeting when I worked at BCGOV, some kind of all hands where someone donated the space, I can't recall exactly. I found photos of it, but there's a few faces I don't want to publish. I did get one of the ceiling. Apr 3, 2009

The Fur-Bearers has sent an open letter to BC’s political leadership calling for reduced commercial and recreational trapping as wildlife face growing pressures from wildfires, drought and climate change. The letter also calls for meaningful protection for beavers: buff.ly/a93y71I #BCpoli #BCgov

So much for government transparency 🫤 #BCgov is shutting down public access to its online directory, leaving taxpayers in the dark about the structure of ministries, government staff, titles and contact info. #bcpoli

ai is really useful, actually, in that it is a clear signifier for destruction

every company pushing its integration as being valuable for the future? self-reporting that that company has atrophied beyond any realistic salvageability

oh hey here's a contractor #BCGOV uses to build its apps

I don't expect a handout, but I do expect the various levels of government to pull in the same direction. I see Industry ministers chiding BCGOV and all I can think of is "fuck you, pay me" and "put up or shut up" some fed $$ would go a LONG way towards a domestic contract, is all I'm saying.

Anyway, tying this back to the current events, it seems wild to me that the BCGOV has again let blind procurement rules dictate a ship building contract going to a foreign ship builder.
October 4, 2025 at 3:47 AM
The purchase of ferries is not a new thing in BC. I remember when the "fast cat" ferry scandal took down the NDP government in 1996.

Not dissimilar to what is happening today. Ferry procurement by BCGOV results in a foreign ship building contract that costs and delivers too much & too little

I don't have experience with MASSIVE orgs, but at bcgov, it was just a series of nested distribution lists. Those on the ground, team/division lead types were responsible for ensuring their team is on the list. The small ones combined into sector + ministry, and there was one at the top that

Medical ethics absolutely requiring researchers on human subjects to provide people they study w choice to-or not to-participate *and* full disclosure of risks literally came from Nuremberg Trials of Nazi doctors.
Henry & #BCGov lied about 7/1/21 #BCHugDay risks.
Her secret research gave no opt out.

I’m grateful for what you share here!
But after BCGov pushed my erstwhile colleague Bonnie Henry’s “BC Hug Day” -when she/Horgan celebrated dropping Covid precautions, opened summer camps & bars even as she/BC Health cronies secretly planned to study Covid transmission-
@bsky.app should block BCGov.

The #UBCM endorsed resolution NR75, calling on the province to regulate mobile live #animal programs and strengthen #exotic animal rules.

Now we need the #province to act. Tell the #BCgov that you support stronger #animalprotection for #exoticanimals.

A diverse group of community leaders is urging #BCgov to hit the brakes on planned amendments to the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. BC must move forward on reconciliation – not backwards.

They put in a Stanford University study “The team found that…. Either permanent standard time or permanent daylight saving time would be healthier than our seasonal waffling, with permanent standard time benefitting the most people.” #permanentStandard #StandardTime #healthier did #BCGov read it?
