People riding bikes in a protected bike lane in downtown Vancouver

It’s REALLY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Bike-lanes mean business.

On Monday, August 11, at 14104 - 128A Avenue (near St. Albert Trail) in Edmonton, from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, #ForeverCanadian will be collecting petition signatures.

Grab a lunch from Dedos Mediterranean Food Truck. Delicious!!!

Faith as a Weapon uncovers how Christian nationalism fueled January 6 and is now embedding a theocratic and authoritarian agenda within the U.S. government. The report profiles key leaders, explores their ideology, & exposes the political power driving these authoritarian policies.

Christian nationalism has surged from the fringes into U.S. power, led by figures like Sean Feucht, Doug Wilson & David Barton. Through celebrity activism,politically connected churches, and coordinated legislation, they’re pushing a theocratic vision—one where democracy yields to divine rule.

Premier’s Office spent nearly $20K on PragerU fundraiser gala Danielle Smith and four staffers flew to Florida in March so she could speak alongside conservative commentator Ben Shapiro. It was almost double the cost of her infamous Mar-a-Lago trip.

CBSA seizes 197 kg of cocaine at the Blue Water Bridge POINT EDWARD, ON, Aug. 7, 2025 /CNW/ - The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced today a significant seizure of cocaine at the Blue Water Bridge port of entry in Point Edward, Ontario. On July 23, 2025, a commercial truck arriving from the United States was referred for a secondary examination at the Blue Water Bridge port of entry. During an inspection of the trailer, border services officers found seven bags containing bricks of suspected cocaine. The total weight of the suspected narcotics was 197 kg, with an estimated street value of $24.6 million. The CBSA arrested Onkar Kalsi, 29, of Caledon, Ontario, and transferred him and the suspected narcotics to the custody of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Kalsi has been charged by the RCMP with Importation of Cocaine, and Possession of Cocaine for the Purpose of Trafficking under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The investigation is ongoing. Between January 1 and July 10, 2025, the CBSA seized a total of 1,164 kg of cocaine originating from the United States, alongside 514 kg from other countries combined. Quotes "This seizure by our dedicated border services officers demonstrates our commitment to stopping criminal activities and safeguarding our communities. Our message is clear: Canada will not tolerate any attempts to undermine the integrity and security of its borders." - The Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety

“When you are in a situation where even the caregiver starts to faint, that means the entire humanitarian structure is collapsing. And this is exactly what we are observing today in #Gaza,” UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini tells @news.sky.com

Aid must flow into Gaza at scale.

“Maybe we should just say “fuck it”, let events play out, and rebuild with whatever we have left”
