A Dangerous Step Back Scrapping B.C.’s human rights protections would legalize discrimination and drag the province further into needless culture wars.

Independent MLA Tara Armstrong introduced a bill in BC today to repeal the BC Human Rights Code, abolish the Human Rights Tribunal, and fire the BC Human Rights Commissioner. And the BC Conservatives supported the bill.

In the Quiet of Tumbler Ridge, Canada Remembered Who We Are There are moments when a country stops breathing.

When I saw the photos from the memorial, I felt it physically. Tears in my eyes. A lump in my throat. That rare, almost fragile recognition that leadership can still look like humility.

Officials have not released information on the identity of the shooter, nor have they speculated on a motive. What matters is there are many people grieving who need support, not performative crap to justify an ideological position.

My heart goes out to Tumbler Ridge, BC following an extremely rare mass shooting. I'm seeing lots of accounts pushing the narrative the shooter was either trans or an immigrant.

The Arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort The lesson from history is not that every abuse leads to fascism. It is that every authoritarian system depends on people refusing to recognize patterns until it is too late.

The US administration is intent on intimidating people into silence. The arrests early today of two prominent independent journalists should be a wakeup call for all of us. The constitution isn't a menu in a restaurant.
