The smallest ferry I've been at, it's basically a barge with a tug attached

Cars enter and exit first, because of course they do; in reverse in half of the cases 🙃

Today in 1858, the first wave of miners arrive in Victoria from California. They are on their way to the Fraser River Gold Rush.
The gold rush will cause a sharp decline in the Indigenous population & lead to the founding of British Columbia as a colony on Aug. 2, 1858.

Today In Labor History March 27, 1912: Start of the 8-month Northern railway strike in Canada by the IWW. Over 8,000 construction workers, led by the IWW, walked off the job at Northern Railway workcamps Wobblies picketed employment offices in Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Tacoma and Minneapolis in order to block the hiring of scabs.

Fellow workers pay attention to what I'm going to mention,
For it is the fixed intention of the Workers of the World.
And I hope you'll all be ready, true-hearted, brave and steady,
To gather 'round our standard when the red flag is unfurled.

CHORUS:
Where the Fraser River flows, each fellow worker knows,
They have bullied and oppressed us, but still our union grows.
And we're going to find a way, boys, for shorter hours and better pay, boys
And we're going to win the day, boys, where the river Fraser flows.

For these gunny-sack contractors have all been dirty actors,
And they're not our benefactors, each fellow worker knows.
So we've got to stick together in fine or dirty weather,
And we will show no white feather, where the Fraser river flows.
Now the boss the law is stretching, bulls and pimps he's fetching,
And they are a fine collection, as Jesus only knows.
But why their mothers reared them, and why the devil spared them,
Are questions we can't answer, where the Fraser River flows.

(Lyrics by Joe Hill, 1912, to the tune of “Where the River Shannon Flows.”)

'Beachcombers'

This is the colloquial term for log salvagers who make their living by collecting stray logs.

A few beachcombers still ply the Fraser River looking for any marketable logs.

When the world seems to be getting you down, get outside and enjoy the outdoors. Doesn't matter where you are, changing the scenery can sometimes do wonders for your mindset. Always make positive thoughts your goal for the day! ,

If you see me chirping about “the bird site,” I’m most definitely referring to an Important Bird Area.

For instance, the Boundary Bay-Roberts Bank-Sturgeon Bank (Fraser River Estuary) IBA, where I spotted this red-winged blackbird.

Their “conk-la-ree” song is the best.
