A muddy trail framed by trees leads to a small village tucked between the sea and snow-capped mountains on an overcast day in winter.

Bald eagles fighting over a herring during the herring spawn last year on Vancouver Island.

Contact me if you'd like to take a tour in March.

Two bald eagles in acrobatic postures in flight. One has dropped a herring that the other one is trying to catch. The sea in the background looks milky turquoise due to the herring spawn.

How Users Consider Web Tracking When Seeking Health Information Online

Health information websites offer instantaneous access to information, but have important privacy implications as they can associate a visitor with specific medical conditions. We interviewed 35 residents of Canada to better understand whether and how online health information seekers exercise three potential means of protection against surveillance: website selection, privacy-enhancing technologies, and self-censorship, as well as their understanding of web tracking. Our findings reveal how users' limited initiative and effectiveness in protecting their privacy could be associated with a missing or inaccurate understanding of how implicit data collection by third parties takes place on the web, and who collects the data. We conclude that to help Internet users achieve better self-data protection, we may need to shift privacy awareness efforts from what information is collected to how it is collected.

How ICE violently kidnaps people & then throw them out in different location, with zero charges - is exactly how #RCMPCIRG works in #BritishColumbia #Canada. They've kidnapped me & many other activists from frontlines, drive us in a paddywagon & throw us out in remote areas with zero charges. There's zero accountability for their abuses of power & criminal acts.

I just want more #Canadians to realize that we have similar thugs with badges in #Canada. We, POC folks - have suffered the most from that kind of unethical/immoral/illegal #CrimesAgainstHumanity & it happens in other places across the country too. Privileged folks don't see much of these harsh realities. They're not fighting as much against injustices at all.

Black Oystercatchers meticulously preening during a storm on the coast of Vancouver Island.

Here's a pair of snowy owls I photographed in Boundary Bay, BC, years ago. Snowies had a population explosion the year before so they were coming down from the Arctic in search of food.

The marmot knows what you did.

La marmotte sait ce que tu as fait.

#VancouverIslandMarmot #photography #photographie #wildlife #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada

A pup Vancouver Island marmot in its natural habitat stares at the photographer. The marmot is dark brown with white spots on its forehead, chest and snout. It is very cute. It is surrounded by green vegeration, white flowers called pearl everlasting and some light grey rock. The marmot is in focus but the rest looks blurry due to the short depth of field.
