☀ High 25CGood morning!Today’s story has been a year in the making. When I was still on maternity leave, Tyler messaged and asked if I would be interested in going on a Halq'eméylem place names tour during the BC Historical Society conference. The answer, of course, was a resounding yes. Shortly after I returned to work, I stepped onto a bus, and spent four hours listening to Sonny McHalsie tell the history of the Fraser Valley like I had never heard it before.

🌧 High 18CGood morning!I have lived in my current house for three springs now, and never seen the rosebush in our front garden bloom. Maybe I was pruning it wrong. Maybe it was just tired of living. But this year, for no reason I can discern, it decided to extend one long branch across the fence and burst into luxuriant blossoms. The flowers are quite pretty, even if the bush itself now looks rather ungainly. – Grace🌤 Local forecast: Langley | Chilliwack | Abbotsford | Hope🚘 Driving today?

Where did Trump voters get their news? 📰 Yes, there's social and partisan sites, but there is another influential strategy that isn't getting enough attention: Manipulated, pay-to-play and all out fake news sites I've been covering a mix of those for years. Here's a primer 🧵
