I’m excited to see my story about ufologists reprinted in @ReadersDigestCA ! It was a fascinating piece to work on. Thanks as well to @maisonneuvemag for first publishing.

For the past few months, I’ve been working with the amazing @DocProjectCBC team on a new radio doc. I’m excited to have it air tomorrow (Sunday) at 11 am on CBC Radio 1!.
Earlier this month, the B.C. govt announced that logging is being temporarily deferred for roughly 2.6 million hectares of #oldgrowth forest until 2023. But how did we get to this point? @brad_badelt brings us the battle over B.C.’s ancient trees.
