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

@LeviMLandry I think it has just been over-sharpened with a basic photo editing tool

It’s going to be a beautiful summer in Kelowna, BC.

If you haven’t been, you must visit.

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: https://t.co/U5oOO1lVS0

@wyatt_claypool You are right the numbers are torqued in that UVs are impossible to measure annually because user's IPs change regularly.

But 4.5M UVs is not a big claim for a national outlet. We recorded 17M (14M Canadian) last year serving just part of BC. But again, IPs turn over regularly.

The Oval Office has changed a bit since 1970.

Geoffrey Moyse, KC, was legal counsel in the BC Ministry of Attorney General’s Office for more than 30 years.

A Kelowna organizer for Caroline Elliott's leadership run.

[Anthony Russo @AnthonyRussoBC]

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

Canada isn't a real place.

@AmazingZoltan We got the run around during her visit to Kamloops and eventually just gave up.

TIL from @ronmortgageguy:

There are 10,000 more licensed real estate agents in just the Greater Toronto Area than the active number of people in the entire Canadian Armed Forces 🤯

🚨 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.

[Ben Woodfinden @BenWoodfinden]

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.

[Michael Solberg 🇨🇦 @MichaelSolberg]

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.
