Welcome to my province, beautiful British Columbia.
To our American friends: you are ALWAYS welcome here. Come visit, enjoy the mountains, meet some great Canadians and spend some money. 😂
Just remember one little thing before you arrive:
We love being your neighbours.
We have ZERO interest in becoming your 51st state. 🇨🇦

A week ago, a friend alerted me that the May 21, 1975 issue of ‘The Advocate’ was for sale on eBay. I bought it.
I have a framed copy of the cover.
I’m super excited to have a whole copy of that particular issue because it’s THE ‘George Raya Issue’. Inside is a 3-page photo essay on a day in the life of a LGBTQ legislative advocate, titled, “Our Man on the Line: Gay Lobbyist George Raya at work in Sacramento - a photo essay by ADVOCATE staff photographer Crawford Barton”. #1975AdvocateIssue #3PagePhotoEssay
