I'm listening to this as an audio book. Very thorough and also terrifying.

Well that was terrifying!

British Columbia’s finance minister may be set to delay a proposal that would slash the assessed value of pipelines, giving pipeline companies a massive tax break at the expense of rural property owners.

Unbelievable 😬

The photo shows a person sitting in a room, holding a rotary phone to their ear. They are wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt and glasses. The background includes an open closet with clothes hanging, a dresser with various items on top, and a wooden door. A map or drawing is pinned to the wall on the right. The coiled phone cord is prominently visible, suggesting the photo is from an earlier era, likely mid-20th century. The setting appears to be a casual, domestic environment.

George Everett Klippert spent years of his life in jail and was labelled as a dangerous offender for the crime of being gay.
His case led to the decriminalization of homosexuality in Canada but he still remained behind bars.
This is his story.

Awful

Our cover this week.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing.

Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

Join us in Langford and call on @rparmarbc.bsky.social and the BC NDP to Stop Waffling on old-growth!

Canada should now do what many have suggested to hit back against the US with non-tariff measures: jailbreak all American tech and stop enforcing US copyright in Canada.
