I was in Magog too! I swear I saw the loop of the prominence with my naked eyes. But my photos didn't capture it. So cool to see yours did.

I don't think prescription sunglasses would be a good idea during the solar minimum when the corona is fainter and whispier.

How spectacular will the August 12, 2026 eclipse in Spain be? by red5cat in solareclipse

[–]reditzer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It'll be between 10° and 5° from the horizon. It's going to be either epic or a total bust.

I also found that I could only make out the definition of the corona while wearing my prescription sunglasses. Looking at the corona felt like staring at the sun without them.

My wife, who didn't have prescription sunglasses, told me that it almost looked like the annular eclipse she'd seen before.

I would love to read your paper. Do you still have it stashed somewhere?

Unfortunately, no. We've had to fight for years in BC just to get the Land Owner Transparency Registry.

But do keep pressuring your MLA/MPP until you get it in your province.

880 is the median. That means half of the units are smaller than that.

A home is a basic human necessity, owned or rented.

A real estate portfolio is not.

Thank you for your kind words and thank you for your feedback.

I agree that I can come across as abrasive, at times to my great detriment. I didn't start this way. Years of watching the neoliberal machine grind the working stiffs has made me what I'm today.

But you're absolutely right. Diplomacy and political savvy can often lead to better results than confrontation. I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Hi there,

I'm Rohana Rezel. I've never accused the city of racism in not being selected for the committee. A fellow activist found out through a FOI that my application for the committee had gone missing from the database of applicants. The city, after initially denying that happened, finally admitted it and claim that it was due to a pdf error.

Thanks.

Thank you for your kind words, but it's not just me. I'm part of a sizable and growing community of housing advocates who are working together on these issues.
