And City of New Westminster mayor @pjnewwest.bsky.social won the Arno Schortinghuis Cycling Award which is awarded to individuals who made "a huge and lasting impact" on cycling. Well-deserved, Patrick.

Woah woah woah Rattle and Hum is a U2 vacation trip movie, not a concert movie.

Thought experiment: what would the punishment be if he attacked them with a baseball bat?

Also if your primary concern about the permanent time change is kids walking to school in the dark I present to you years of research showing school should start later in the day

Congratulations Substack on your new partnership with Polymarket!

And to those publishing on Substack, is this really the tool you want from the folks who take part of your revenue?

Patrick, Nina Krieger the Minister of Public Safety and MLA Jennifer Whiteside stand for one of those political Photos.

And, in meeting with the Minister last week, we talked through these challenges, and I also reiterated #NewWest support for speed and intersection cameras, and offered McBride Avenue as a location where automated enforcement could save lives in the short term!

While Carney supports the illegal U.S./Israel aggression against Iran, even though Iran was negotiating in good faith, other middle powers Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Spain are condemning Israel and the U.S.

Does Carney truly believe this statement will keep Trumps ambitions for Canada at bay?

Community First Mayor Patrick Johnstone advocates for road safety

For me, "Vision Zero" isn't a label to stick on the same road safety work we have always been doing. Its about a commitment to do what it takes to end the acceptance of death as a necessary cost to movement around the region...

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

FIFA Men’s World Cup is going to be like a dry run for BP and ICE.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

This is a particularly egregious example, but the lack of commitment to truth (aka lies) from people seeking and holding political leadership positions is appalling. And it damages our democracy. Which might be the whole point.

I love how when it's BC, it's the socialists fault but then what about this

Oh I’m not reserving all my slander for SFU, she’s going to UBC tomorrow and I don’t know what the appeal is there either

The kid gets to go on a math field trip to SFU. Who wants to go to SFU??? Geeze.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

Would it kill car makers to have the tail lights come on when the car starts?

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Maybe NWPD could use their drone for catching the most dangerous people in this city: drivers who nearly run you down in a crosswalk and give you the “oops sowwy” shrug. God knows there’s enough of them.

A landmark Indigenous and Black multi-generational affordable housing bldg was vandalized last night in #newwest with anti-Black, anti-Indigenous & anti-Muslim slurs. This behaviour isn’t disconnected from comments coming from a specific councillor about who is & isn’t the right “demographics” here.

Time to put the blog on a 486 running in your closet again

Burnaby mountain, when?

I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.

Vancouver council is meeting today, which means they will once be providing text updates *only* for subscribers of a website under investigation by multiple countries for child exploitation

Staff were told by council months ago to post elsewhere, but haven't

And they're doing it for 12 accounts

Happy to say that this passed unanimously! New West continuing to be a road safety leader in the region 💪

Thankfully #Newwest staff, Mayor & 4 Councillors put in work: fast-tracked approvals & welcomed non-market housing. Now the province suspends a $3.3B fund. Non-profits are left with sunk costs, and the burden falls on poor & unhoused ppl while the wealthy are shielded. The province needs to step up!
