June Ellis was a well-loved member of our community. I would ask you to take a few moments to please read this. It raises some very troubling questions, and I am asking Minister @adriandix to help this family find the answers they need and deserve. pentictonherald.ca/news/arti…

A small earthquake near Oliver on Monday afternoon didn’t do any damage, but produced dozens of reports of shaking as far away as Penticton, according to the federal agency that monitors such tremors. pentictonherald.ca/news/arti…

Not something we typically see: A tipped tractor and a damaged police vehicle following a pursuit on Hwy 1. The tractor was sporting a "No SOGI" sign when it crashed. Video of the pursuit's final moments plus a witness account on tonight's News Hour at 6. @GlobalBC

Half kg of cocaine found in ceiling of public restroom. If the drugs are yours & you want to report them lost or stolen, please call Mission RCMP. We will set up an interview in jail cell #3. Please bring proof of purchase, or other evidence so we can confirm the drugs are yours.

penticton has decided on their strategy to avoid drawn-out debates about bike lanes: ban any discussion of bike lanes from ever happening again under this current council castanet.net/news/Penticton/…

It is the end of an era. Today, at 1 p.m. EST, the long dash time signal will be broadcast on CBC Radio for the final time. The time tone was first aired on Nov. 5, 1939.

From the top of Sugarloaf Mtn this weekend, looking a lot different than the last time I was here in 2020. Area was burned by White Rock Lake fire in 2021.

Interesting. #Castanet expanding.
Castanet News is expanding with plans for two new bureaus and is hiring three more reporters! Merritt: jeffgaulin.com/jobs/JobDetai… Salmon Arm: jeffgaulin.com/jobs/JobDetai… Osoyoos: jeffgaulin.com/jobs/JobDetai…

It is more of a federal issue, but I predict there will come a day when Canadians will demand a true open skies policy here in Canada. Whenever that day comes, companies like Air Canada will only have themselves to blame for it.
UPDATE: This will go over like lead weight in #Penticton and rest of S. #Okanagan. ... Air Canada says "overall region will continue to be served at the Kelowna airport which has a catchment area that compares to many other regional markets we serve." pentictonherald.ca/news/arti…

Given the recent road closures of Hwy. 97 this is a tone-deaf and insulting comment. I am greatly surprised Air Canada would make a decision of this magnitude with no consultation on the impacts to those who have been loyal to the airline for decades.

In the past year, Canadians have learned their elections and judiciary are likely compromised. "Sunny ways!"

About one third of cannabis workers have left the industry. DM me if you want to set up a quick interview about why. (RT if the spirit strikes you.)
