Proud of my project this afternoon. It’s an evergreen clematis vine with twine guides to train it up the deck and a cage to protect it from the greedy bastar… deer.

@wgreaves.bsky.social Will, last fall you said "I'm not supportive of another pipeline." Victoria heard you. Please hold that line now and oppose the pipeline to the Pacific, even if it means breaking with your party. We're counting on you. #bcpoli #YYJ
