Thanks for your openess, I recognize your username from the sub and will do my best to summarize a pretty big issue down to a digestible size and will pop some resources at the bottom.
So Bret Weinstien was a evolutionary biologist at Evergreen state college down in the states. Since the 1970's that super leftist college has been doing radical things like having a day of absence that is designed to show how important People of Colour are to the campus by having all POC not show up on a particular day. In like 2017 (maybe 2016) the student organizers tried to switch it up to an all non POC don't come to campus day. Bret was objecting to this saying that it does not demonstrate the same message as the original protest. It takes it from how important POC are to isloating out non POC. IMO it took it from pro to con, which is never a great way for anyone to feel.
Bret wrote some staff emails about how he thinks they should shift it back to the old system and the student body goes wild. Start calling him racist, threatening him, threatening his wife who is also a professor there, demanding his resignation. Fast forward a few months and there are protests about him. Students are militarizing, holding university administration and making them listen to their demands, and being what can only be described as to an academic as radical.
That book I mentioned when through like 4 examples of things just as wild. The biggest thing I fear is that almost all of the targets that these radicalized call our culture folks are going after are fellow left learning people who were not towing the new party line. Layers who worked for the ACLU, Deans who started LGBT clubs in the 90's, and I just fear that it's people like me who since highschool have been out there grinding for progress.
The book I mentioned by Jonathan Haidt who also wrote great books in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and what makes people become polarized is 100% the most important book for people to read right now. It goes over a 3 point outline of why the campus culture is so damaging to future progression. The website to support the book also has tons of great reading about how we can redirect it positively.

Certainly open to discuss it more, I think it's super neat, but does scare me.
I have Shaw for internet only, paying $85 per month. I put up this TV antenna and it pulls in an amazing amount of stations for free. Everything from Vancouver, KOMO Seattle, KIRO Seattle, PBS Bellingham, ME Tv Bellingham and the Victoria stations as well. Around 25 channels in all. From a $50 antenna.
You might enjoy The Haunting of Vancouver Island. I'm not much of a believer but it was an entertaining and sheds some light on the history of the Island. There's definitely a few entries for the Nanaimo area.
Hahaha that’s quite the experience!
I assumed your mention of the curve of time kayaking trip was named for the classic memoir of the BC writer and her kids sailing up and down BC’s coast, a must read for anyone exploring BC’s coast on a boat!

If you can get your hand on an Audubon's Guide, they're sort of the gold standard for identifying and harvesting in the PNW.
Here's a link to their mushroom guide
This is $12.99.
If you spend more on one of these you'll have less to count!
