LOL ... Imagine being so fragile that FIFA has to invent a bogus peace prize to flatter you because you didn't get the Nobel?

Nope, this is just a badly designed process, and very clunky.

How the fuck can Public Mobile - entirely online with no phone support - have such a horrid account creation process? If you click 'change plan' and return, everything resets. A valid CC results in endless failed payment errors. It's over $20 more a month for more data I don't need with Telus.

My son's Pomeranian has found a new hiding place to avoid his morning walks.

HEARTBREAKING: Local Four-Way Residential Intersection Frequented By School Children Receives New Paint And Reflector Curbs That Will Do Nothing To Calm Traffic

This is probably the most lights and decorations I've put up in years, and likely just about the earliest as well. I guess I'm inspired by the decorations around our new neighborhood, and being in our new home.

No deaths in a year

That's pretty incredible, given the severity of the toxic drug crisis in BC this past decade

THIS! 👇

Cyclist seriously injured after crash with driver in Colwood, B.C. A cyclist was taken to hospital with serious injuries following a crash between a bike and car in Colwood early Thursday morning.

"Mounties say the driver of the vehicle remained at the scene."

Nothing like reporting that the driver did the bare minimum they are legally required to do as though they are heroic or something.

This is basically right down the street from us.

At least Guilbeau had the decency to resign over the Carney-Smith deal.

What about Julie Dabrusin? I don't think I'd even ever heard of Canada's Environment Minister until I looked up who it was.

If she is a lightweight, it makes all the more sense now. Seems Canada's gov't is a one-man show.

As Carney-Smith pipeline deal looms, Catherine McKenna says oil companies can't be trusted. She would know Justin Trudeau's first environment minister spoke with Canada's National Observer about misogyny, policy and broken promises.

I don't know who needs to hear this but making deals with Alberta and the oilpatch
doesn't
fucking
work

Just ask the last person who tried.

BC First Nations denounce reported Alberta-Ottawa agreement Ahead of Thursday's expected announcement, Indigenous leaders in the province are accusing the federal government of making a "back room deal" to force through a pipeline to the province's northwest c...

“The answer is still no. No pipelines in British Columbia, no further fossil fuel pipelines, period,” said Stewart Phillip, grand chief of Syilx Nation and president of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs.  www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/26/n...

Further, if you don't realize by now that the problem is mostly ownership and partly mismanagement, I don't know what to tell you.

Management takes their marching orders from the one who cuts the cheques. When the owner is fucking clueless, it's fully dysfunctional.

Report: Canucks make veterans available for trade, not moving Hughes The Vancouver Canucks have let teams across the NHL know they're listening to trade offers on veteran players in an attempt to get younger, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.However, the Canu...

This is, essentially, the #Canucks admitting that the playoffs are already out of reach.

Personally I would like them to tear it down and fully rebuild. Tinkering repeatedly has not worked.

Gut it.

Apparently the PWHL is what you get when the game is completely devoid of testosterone. The athletes just play hockey, with zero shenanigans or antics. A very nice change.

A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

One of the many great walking and running parks in our new 'hood in #Colwood.

It's not just shingles and RSV. As someone who became immunocompromised by losing their spleen in April 2024, I needed five new vaccines, and all together I had to pay around $300 to $400.

"They're"

Nice afternoon out for the dog walk. I like sunny haze.

So it begins again ... But hopefully this will be the last time for a while.

Whatever you say, Homer. Keep defending the guy who's been suspended six times, almost entirely for shitty cheap shots. Sorry, but I don't give an asshole like that the benefit of the doubt. It was late and high.

The Night Epstein Died

Shandy met her doppelganger, "Lorelai" on this morning's walk. However, Shandy is a compact 45 lbs, and Lorelai is the "runt" of her litter, who will likely hit a paltry 100 lbs.

A very brief update to mark 18 months since my crash. Everything is fine, fitness is good, but getting my splenectomy abdominal incisional hernia repaired is absolutely a gong show, as I wait for not only a second CT scan, but also a #colonoscopy.

I love it when accounts like yours make it clear who I should mute for their stupid takes.
