If you're in Vancouver today (May 15), please join the Ukrainian community on the Burrard Bridge at 7pm where we'll wear our Vyshyvanky, wave our blue and yellow flags, and remind the world that Ukraine is, was, and will always be.

It's #VyshyvankaDay for Ukrainians around the world. Vyshyvanka is more than beautiful embroidery. It holds our stories. It connects us to the past, our ancestors, and each other. At a time when the russian terrorist state seeks to erase us, I wear my Vyshyvanky with extra pride.

If you love film and television made in Canada, now's the time to watch it, stream it, shout about it, and invest in it. #ElbowsUp for #BCFilm; elbows up for Hollywood North.

Trumpโ€™s ill-conceived tariffs on foreign-made films is either going to kill the Vancouver film and television industry or inject it with new purpose and fire.

First strikes, then AI, now tariffs: working in #BCFilm is just an endless parade of existential threats. We just want to make film and TV, gang.

Ah, yes: itโ€™s Liberation Day in America. Itโ€™s the day when the United States liberates itself from being (*checks notes*) an economic force on the global stage and forces every other nation to work around it, thus rendering itself inconsequential. Papa Putin must be so proud.

Every time Trump says that the U.S. is being invaded by people from mental institutions, please remember that he's understanding "asylum seekers" to mean "people who've escaped or been released from mental asylums," and permit yourself a despondent laugh and a shake of the head.

Where's the public outcry in the States re: Trump's annexation threats? Where are the rallies, the marches, the general strikes? Hashtags don't cut it and don't count. If Canada was threatening the US in this way, Canadians would be doing everything we could to stop it.
