Carbon Capture’s Dirty Secret | Vancouver News

Canada’s top leaders are betting big on carbon capture to slash emissions while ramping up oil production — but the science and history say otherwise. With a $16 billion pledge to bury carbon beneath Cold Lake, they’re calling it the world’s largest project and positioning Canada as a clean energy superpower. Yet experts warn this tech is plagued by sky-high costs, frequent failures, and minimal real-world impact — capturing less than 0.1% of global emissions. Leaks, inefficiencies, and even induced earthquakes threaten the long-term safety of these buried emissions. As billions vanish into failed projects, the real solution may lie in cutting energy demand — not burying it. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Wildfire Crisis Hits Boston Bar | Vancouver News

Boston Bar in B.C. is in crisis as wildfires rage and a water system disaster unfolds—someone vandalized a valve in an evacuated zone, triggering a dangerous water hammer and forcing officials to shut down the entire system mid-boil water notice. With firefighters needing every drop of water and crews unable to assess damage due to unsafe conditions, repairs could cost taxpayers dearly. Meanwhile, a new wildfire is spreading fast, forcing hundreds more to evacuate as Highway 1 remains closed and steep terrain hampers firefighting efforts. Officials warn anyone still in the area is putting lives at risk. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Central Saanich Celebrates 75 Years | Vancouver News

Central Saanich turned 75 in style, with cake, classic cars, music, and kids’ games at Centennial Park — even Mayor Ryan Windsor led a sing-along to “Happy Birthday.” The celebration honored its 1951 split from Saanich to protect its farming heritage, drawing generations together. Longtime resident Norma Sealey, a sixth-generation local, recalled family debates over independence and still calls it a dream place to live. Adding cultural depth, a new metal paddle by W̱SÁNEĆ artist Chazz Elliott was unveiled — symbolizing water, orca, wolf, raven, and tree — honoring thousands of years of Indigenous history woven into the town’s soul.

Fires Merge Near Clinton BC | Vancouver News

A massive wildfire in British Columbia, formed by the merger of the Pear Lake and Fifty-nine Creek fires, now spans nearly 670 square kilometers. Though the fire’s head is no longer advancing toward Clinton, firefighters face intense ground work, and new evacuation orders have been issued for the 70 Mile area and surrounding regions starting Monday. One business owner south of Clinton lost everything, including two homes, and had to escape the flames himself. Highway 97 was crossed by fire, requiring repairs. Meanwhile, in the Central Okanagan, an evacuation alert for over 500 properties near West Kelowna has been lifted after crews made major progress, though the fire remains out of control. Across the province, 31 active evacuation orders and 28 alerts remain, mostly in central and southern Interior regions, as severe drought conditions persist and threaten continued aggressive fire behavior.

HOPE Village Homes Find New Purpose | Vancouver News

Longview’s city council just gave HOPE Village’s leftover 50 pallet homes a new mission: find new owners who’ll put them to use for housing. After shutting down last fall, the modular units are now being actively sold off to ensure they don’t sit idle — instead, they’ll serve those currently struggling with housing insecurity. The Salvation Army handed over the keys months ago, and this move is the council’s practical next step to turn a forgotten project into real community support.
