They're back and they're loud! Steller sea lions are here to feast on Pacific herring. No spawn reported yet around Vancouver Island but there are massive balls of herring off Salmon Beach, in Barkley sound.

Flyer from local federal MP. Touts her 100 days of work. Interestingly, she was elected about 290 days ago. I guess working 1/3 of the time is OK. I mean, she's "fighting tariffs" which I hasten to add she can do nothing about.

@adachika192 There's a number I've been waiting to see! Over a thousand people from #Canada fought for Israel.
Leave the country to fight for the Islamic State and you're not welcomed back. But leave to fight for the Jewish state... Shrugs. It shouldn't be treated differently.
