Sad that Victoria’s looking to get rid of the bike valet that has over 11,000 annual visits and reduces theft when its annual budget is only 0.2% of police budget or 6 taxpayer funded parties hosted by the police... #yyjpoli #yyjbike #yyj #victoriabc

Happening in Victoria... family comes as temporary workers, does everything right, mom gets sick, application to stay denied now forced to leave canada, losing medical care and likely the mom's life. These people are part of our community.

Wish I could laugh. :/

On Oct 21, I wrote to the Minister of Fisheries & Oceans urging the return of the Ghost Gear Fund—cut in Budget 2024 despite proven success cleaning marine debris & creating local jobs. Canadians deserve leadership on ocean protection. Our planet deserves no less. Sign petiton here: bit.ly/47yGXVo

Trigger for new immigration powers 'intentionally not defined' in border bill: Diab OTTAWA - Immigration Minister Lena Diab says the definition of a "public interest" event that would allow her department to pause or revoke immigration applications is "intentionally not defined" in

This kind of arbitrary power is frankly terrifying, and the Liberals saying "just trust us" does not inspire confidence, particularly because I trust a future government even less than this crew.

We can't get smug, no.matter how horrible things are in usa

“The takeover deal cleared a major regulatory milestone earlier this month with Ottawa approving the sale under the Investment Canada Act, which considers whether foreign investments would be a net benefit to the country or cause potential harm to national security.”

wtf

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Rob Shaw: B.C. taxpayer cash fuelling condos, documentaries and cushy new jobs While British Columbians cut back, MLAs find creative new ways to spend public money

“If you’re wondering how the public ends up funding a documentary that denies residential school harms, well, it’s part of the more than $650,000 OneBC automatically received after MLAs Dallas Brodie and Tara Armstrong left the BC Conservative party and formed their own new party earlier this year.”

The Charter of Rights is foundational to 🇨🇦's democracy & national vision of fairness & due process. Decades of cases have confirmed its value to labour rights. Danielle Smith takes a big step toward authoritarianism, tossing it aside for fiscal & political convenience. #canlab

My Grandmother, the Anti-Fascist: 'Jails Were Filled With Women Who Had Dared Rebel' (Exclusive) In researching her new book, 'Women of War,' author Suzanne Cope found a whole new side of her grandmother. In an exclusive essay for PEOPLE, she breaks down what she learned about her own family.

This is why they ban books. Mustn't let in truth.

We are at the point where Danielle Smith would rather violate charter rights and create a constitutional crisis…

Read that again.

Because this is where we are.

When you pay attention to the tons of evidence showing that immigrants commit fewer crimes, you see that the problem isn't immigrants. The problem is the people blaming immigrants and spreading lies and stereotypes about them .

Congrats to everyone who worked to make this victory possible! Overdoses should never be opportunities for arrests and expanded repression.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Kicking people out of their homes and off the land is white supremacy culture, not Indigenous cultures.

Apparently there is no maximum number of times Indigenous leadership needs to say that they're not kicking anyone out of their home.
