Someone said Gen-Z dresses like Republicans in the 90's and then I saw a youth wearing pleated wide-leg jeans with an oversized blazer

Unfortunately I'm missing Pillion at the VIFF but I look forward to furtively watching it on an Air Canada flight in the near future.

ok it’s time

Opinion: B.C. has a revenue problem, not a spending problem Experience from early 2000s shows that underfunding public services and failing to address poverty leads to higher economic and social costs

End the provincial subsidy of property taxes via the Home Owner Grant. The dumbest tax policy on the books in BC

Other countries leverage the massive, countrywide infrastructure of their postal service to provide other useful things to the public, like low cost banking, mobile phone plans, and rural transportation.

Late stage capitalism demands we part it out for scrap instead.

Favourite travel people watching games:
Homos, bros, or Germans?
Dad and son or daddy and son?

Now with the Rio addition of:
Butt implants or gym?

As America's most pro-business leader in a generation, I will choose one company each week and accuse them of witchcraft

I once did an aerial survey from Van Horn, Texas, where there was a shooting range right next to the airport taxiway. Gun crazy country.

The Whistler Granfondo organizers regularly show a total disregard for rider safety. They sell expensive 'front of the peloton' packages for rich inexperienced riders to get hero shots crossing the Lion's Gate, then funnel them into one lane with pro riders passing. Often carnage.

This thing is wild. All the nonexistent bases in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba...and you don't get Whidbey Island, WA? Pituffik (Thule), Greenland? That seems like one to highlight.

Incredible statement from the CEO of a national public utility (Spanish airports) on the bullshit predatory tactics of Ryanair.

Need more public/crown corporation leaders with a backbone this magnificent.

Very striking in the satellite detections (more red = more recent)

We're a bit surrounded by fires at the moment - the ones you mentioned west of Whistler, the ones on the Olympic peninsula, and a few near Manning park. Getting smoke in Vancouver no matter which way the wind blows.

Teens start trading pictures of dads that successfully get by the face scan.

In 2027, the entire porn consumption across 19 states is officially attributed to twelve dads.

Aerial view of the downtown Vancouver skyline from above Canada Place, with a cruise ship in the terminal, a seabus motoring away from waterfront station, and a smoky haze over the city skyline

An aerial view of Playland at the PNE, with the construction of a new triangular, wooden ampitheatre well underway

#naspcrew patrol route got a little messed up this morning but it means I got to have a look at the new PNE ampitheatre

Basically every flight scheduled to arrive at #YVR after 9pm tonight that isn't in the air already is cancelled due to a lack of air traffic controllers.

NAV Canada is failing the travelling public - there should be a parliamentary inquiry.

$140 billion for ICE but they can only find mini rollers and two 5-foot extension poles

I commute in lycra - lots of people do. For longer distances its the most practical and comfortable thing to wear, especially if you're already going to shower and change into work clothes.

It's not 'tribalism', it's joyless cranks who need to feel superior to others by doing things the 'right way'

Once you understand that a driving principle of American politics is there is no such thing as a compassionate solution that's cheap enough or a cruel solution that's too expensive, a lot of things click into place.

Have you seen a teenager lately? They're back to huge wide-leg denim and parachute pants.

Above all, Canada's progressives lack leadership. Strong, unifying voices from the left are lacking at every level of government and the NDP only believes in elections, not building a movement that can carry them between campaigns.

Ominously pretty blanket of smoke getting blown over the city from the Mount Underwood fire near Port Alberni. #yvrwx

One of the things that has pretty annoying is that if you have any kind of bullshit meter, if you have anything inside of yourself that doesn’t enjoy being lied to, the last couple of years of almost every area of public life have been driving you up a fucking wall

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Spending $20 thousand dollars of Alberta taxpayer money to fundraise for an American right wing think tank that supports the same party waging a trade war on our country.

I am surprised this did not get more coverage.

Gif of Dr Hibbert from the Simpsons removing a man's appendix with a pocketknife, and throwing it away from a crowd just as it explodes

All told, showing up at the hospital in agony at 5AM and walking out without an appendix 14 hours later is pretty damn good.

Theo James wearing a mesh knit polo shirt with floral print swim shorts.

Adam Di Marco wearing a crocodile and flower print blue and white leisure shirt

Sterling Archer in white and pink roller skates, socks, low-cut trunks and a tied off too-tight t-shirt that says 'Got Dick?'

Millennials at Pride this year got issued one of three outfits

Plumes of forest fire smoke rise from behind a treed mountain on Vancouver Island

Plumes of smoke from the Cameron Lake wildfire on Vancouver Island today.

Smoke filling many of the valleys to the south. #bcwildfire
