"Its a serious situation and we have a CONSISTENT POSITION. Prevention of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon, prevention of state-sponsored terrorism, support for the Iranian people..."

then he talks about short-term impacts on energy markets.

I'm not sure I've read anything by Dan Fumano this scathing.

A clinical summary of the mayor's Trumpian lies and bizarre evasions.

Ken Sim is an embarrassment to Vancouver.

Canada won't stand up for Cuba. Won't stand up for Venezuela. Won't stand up for Iran. Embarassing, disgraceful servile state. 'Canada' thinks it is still owned by Prince Rupert, only right now his name is Donald Trump. #cdnpoli

the second thing. yeah. take yourself to the library every day, even if only for a few minutes. go at different times, visit collections that you havent before, sit and listen to librarians talk about shelving problems, just BROWSE.

it might change your life

Canadian labour organizations are following the example set by Minnesota.

To everyone calling for a general strike: organizing events like this is a necessary practice run. You need to build collective power through organizing before you can wield that power.

I really hope the Vancouver press keeps on this. We need to know where he got the information from or if he just made it up. It’s not a small matter and shouldn’t be dropped for the next news tidbit.

This is what Carney is signing us up for, Canada. Speak up now: SAY NO to joining the fascism supply chain.

The U.S. accounts for 71% of our exports and their trade actions have made 2025 a difficult year.

But we're diversifying markets, we're investing billions in infrastructure, we have the most foreign investment in 18 years, and employment is growing. We'll win this trade war.

A couple of photos of the people who showed up to protest this OneBC talk.

This event was billed as a town hall - but in reality it was a very long talk by Billboard Chris, a Metro Vancouver man who regularly protests gender affirming care, SOGI and human rights protections for trans people.
