About the Park
Notice: COVID-19 has impacted services in some parks. Please visit www.bcparks.ca to see which parks have been affected.
Situated on top of Mount Newton on southern Vancouver Island, John Dean Provincial Park overlooks the pastoral Saanich Peninsula, the Gulf Islands and the Cascade Mountains. John Dean Park protects one of the last stands of old-growth Douglas fir and Garry oak on the Saanich Peninsula, and is a popular destination for local residents, who visit the park to hike in a pristine wilderness environment and enjoy the spectacular views. The mountain and surrounding area figure prominently in First Nations culture, and early descriptions of the mountain mention large rings of white stones placed there by the Saanich people. Lau Wel New, as Mount Newton is known to the First Nations of the Saanich Peninsula, was the high point of land that enabled them to survive the Great Flood. Here legend has it that the Saanich ancestors were able to anchor their canoe until the floodwaters subsided using a giant cedar rope. Lau Wel New was the first land available as the floodwaters receded.

The #johndean Experience
The dems are full of double standards. How in the world can Michael Cohen, which was convicted of lying to Congress, and John Dean, who was convicted of obstruction of justice, key witnesses against TRUMP!!!
-
It is sad and laughable at the same time!! They are going to lose!!

September 1: Free Livestream. Link in bio. Countless books have appeared about the Trump administration, about the corruption, self-dealing, and danger to democracy. John Dean and Bob Altemeyer’s book, Authoritarian Nightmare: Trump and His Followers, covers something else: the reasons his supporters keep cheering him on. #trump #authoritarian #book #author #johndean #bobaltemeyer

John Dean, former White House Counsel to who USED to be the greatest American crook president Richard Nixon, testifies yesterday to the House judiciary committee. It was Dean’s testimony that was key in taking Nixon down. Despite GOP Senators trying to discredit him, he was clearly superior to all of them combined in intelligence and integrity while they defended Trump at all costs in spite of EVIDENCE to the contrary.
.
The hearing was informative to those who didn’t read the Mueller Report, but coverage was interrupted by a helicopter crash in NY where one person died. Quite unfortunate given it was arguably more important for the electorate to understand what crimes this “president” has committed.
.
One of my favorite law professors, #BarbaraMcQuade, was also testifying. She was absolutely riveting.
.
From WAPO: “Dean also stressed that any efforts to prevent McGahn’s testimony by assertion of “absolute immunity” are bogus. From Dean’s opening remarks: “McGahn’s loyalty is to his client, the Office of the Presidency, not the occupant. He had only a limited attorney-client privilege when interacting with the President and advisors and the privilege belongs to the Office in any event.”

THE GHOST OF NIXON. So...in case you haven’t heard, in the last twelve millions hours (seems like it, right?) since the Ukraine scandal exploded all over the country, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, who looks like the love-child of Nosferatu and Simon Bar Sinister, (and who I can’t help thinking if “bad breath” was a person, it would be him), Rudy Giuliani announced PUBLICLY ON CABLE TELEVISION (of course) that he has “audio tapes” and (oddly) “charts” to employ in his personal defense in U-done-fucked-up-you-traitor-krainegate. Let me just reiterate: Lordy, I hope there are tapes.” THE GHOST OF NIXON KNOWS!!!! 🤞🏻#rudygiuliani #brushthebottomteethtoorudy #rudygiulianimeltdown #ghouliani #lordyihopetherearetapes #ukraine #ukrainegate #ifbadbreathwasaperson #rudygiulianiiscomplicit #rudyforprison #thiswontendwell #nixonknows #lessonsofthepast #impeachtrump #impeach #impeachment #foxnews #johndean #nixonredux #worsethanwatergate #impeachthisbitch #inherentcontempt #thejigisup

3 clips: One of the greatest idiots in Congress has got to be repmattgaetz. Here he is wasting his five minutes attempting to discredit #JohnDean, and getting owned in the process. What a waste of oxygen. This is also the representative who attempted to threaten Michael Cohen and then had to apologize and is now under investigation by the Florida Bar Association. He deserves more than disbarment; this guy is a disgrace to Congress.
.
From The Hill: “The Florida Bar on Wednesday said it will move forward with an investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) regarding his tweet about President Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen.
The case is advancing to the the Grievance Committee, which will determine if there is probable cause that Gaetz, a licensed attorney in the state, violated Florida Bar rules. If probable cause is established, a complaint will be filed with the Florida Supreme Court, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
The investigation follows a February tweet that Gaetz, a Trump ally, sent ahead of Cohen's testimony before Congress. The tweet was widely criticized, with some characterizing it as witness intimidation.”
