All of this! I did a research paper about cruise ships for my Sustainable Tourism Development class during my grad studies and I don’t think I can ever ride on one for the rest of my life. An absolute dumpster fire at sea. And that’s ignoring the socioeconomic issues they cause!
Luxury cruises are punctured garbage bins on water
>47 cruise ships emit 10 times more sulphur dioxide in European waters (2017 data) than all of Europe’s 260m cars combined
>That's just 1 of 3 air pollutants discharged from the ships’ smokestacks
And it gets worse

Disappointed by the election turnout here in Kamloops. 29%!? The lack of engagement in municipal politics is disheartening.
I’m gutted. Anyone that knows me well knows that I had a childhood obsession with Grease and it is by far my most watched movie of all time (I’d reckon I’ve seen it at least 200 times). Will be spinning her music today in memory ❤️
Wow… just wow. To have the gusto to publicly declare your attempt to out someone with not even an ounce of remorse or reflection on why this is problematic is disgusting. Do better @AndrewHornery and @smh.

Food I would say Cheeky’s, Pinocchio in the Desert, Lulu, and Elmer’s. Art Museum was great if you’re into that. Get up into the mountains on the aerial tramway. If you have a car, date shakes at Shields Date Garden in Indio are 👌🏻 and Joshua Tree is incredible.

I know this contest was hotly contested, but this is well deserved. Kimberley is a lovely town and I always enjoyed getting to spend time there when I previously did work trips to the East Kootenays. Definitely one of my favourite small towns in BC!
It’s official: Kimberley is the best small town in British Columbia.

Love that this project I worked on in my previous role received this amazing recognition. Lots of awesome #ecdev projects addressing #reconciliation here in the Interior and grateful to have supported a few of them.
The winner of the 2022 #BCEcDevAward for #EconomicReconciliation <20,000 population is the #Neskonlith Indian Band for the Chase Harper Collaborative Community Management Plan (CCMP). bit.ly/3ODp6Cn

I’m definitely Team @allenstone and Team @AleXa_ZB on #AmericanSongContest. Without a doubt, these are songs I will continue to listen to once the show is wrapped.
