PROUD DAD

For 16 years Lasse Ericsson has been Canada’s Para Alpine coach. Today his 21-year-old son Kalle, in his first Paralympic race, won silver with his guide Sierra Smith.

Lasse told me his heart was racing. Bursting with pride. Spectacular stuff.

Ours, too!!! Omg… but when we first heard it my daughter and I were like, WHAT is this? Lols… brilliant.

He's in West Van!

He's actually 'foiling with dolphins off of Dundarave in West Van! Amazing! #NorthShore #Vancouver #Canada

Except HE thinks he’s gonna be king of it.

Um, wot?!

British Columbia is switching their clocks for the last time this Sunday.

There's a lot going on in the world right now, but there is NO reason to not make daylight saving time permanent.

Congress should pass my bill to finally lock the clock.

Opinion: Canada is putting Palestinian grad students in unfair immigration limbo These PhD candidates deserve to be given the grace of either acceptance or rejection – not a year-plus of purgatory

Excellent op-ed by @alexneve.bsky.social re: graduate students in Gaza waiting up to two years for study visas. "A delay of weeks is processing. A delay of months is a backlog. But a delay of a year, without explanation or end, is a de facto rejection." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

“Artisanal mining”? 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’ve got questions…

BUSTED!

Yep. It was quite the flash! Had no idea what was going on. 💥 🤯

I stopped by a Persian butcher today on Lonsdale! Better prices and cleaner store than the big boxes.

I'm feeling very much the same.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

A USian is short for United Statesian. It could be USan or USAian if you prefer. See also Canadian, Mexican, Brazilian, Venezuelan, Argentinian, Chilean, etc., all of whom also live in the Americas. Plus, the rest of the world isn't interested in prioritizing your USian feelings right now.

Having lived in Europe in my ‘teens, in school curriculum they call Canadians ‘American’. I continued to correct this (well in to my 50s) and let friends know that we would be called North Americans, if that rule holds (but it never did).

Call me American… go ahead, I dare you.

Inside a Surrey ‘local news’ site run by AI Surrey Speak published fake news about a politician and an AI-generated picture of a real murder victim

Last month Surrey news site published a scoop about a Vancouver politician's shock resignation.

Except that never happened.

Our investigation found the website, Surrey Speak, is powered completely by AI. And it has links to a tech company backed by SFU #vanpoli

“The double standard is obvious: when Russia uses force without lawful grounds, it is condemned as an outlaw; when the U.S. does something legally analogous, we kowtow in an effort to curry favour.”
