My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

quite disturbing that its normal for private business to partner with elected officials to demand the mass displacement of poor people as public policy

Hey, fellow constituents of Vancouver-Quilchena who hate that this woman is representing us:

A reminder that on April 20th, 2026 we can apply to do a recall petition, and if we get 40% of the riding to sign it we can remove her and have a byelection.

There can be shitposts in the style of brainrot though. I think of citiesbydiana.

Yeah, wild that she still is harping on that bs about non-binary people. She blocked me on the twitter after she attacked one of my irl friends, and obviously she didn't learn when I clearly stated that my friend has medically transitioned and has medical needs. (Nothing of value was lost)

Idea: fusion between a Nanaimo Bar and Dubai Chocolate

Miss Major is an incalculable loss for the trans community and a reminder that our movement is always led by Black trans women. Always.

May we all prove to be worthy students of her example.

Looking at the prompts in the source for some "AI" tools often feels like telling the LLM to be like the Good Doctor "I am a surgeon" meme: "you are an expert!"

Recall petition applications will be accepted starting April 20, 2026.

for Dallas Brodie

elections.bc.ca/events-servi...

Dallas Brodie: I have a point of order to raise. I’m looking at section 40(2) and 40(3) of the standing orders. The first one is: “Disrespectful or offensive language forbidden.” That’s sub 2. “Irrelevance in debate.” That’s sub 3. Sub 2 says: “No member shall use offensive words against any member of this House.” The Premier has repeatedly referred to me as being racist, denialist and hateful. Am I now allowed to use words like “stupid,” “incompetent,” “financially illiterate” and “anarchist”? How far does this go? The second one is: “No member shall be irrelevant in debate.” He takes shots at me sideways whenever he can, and I’m not accepting it anymore. It’s unacceptable language in this House. I could call him lots of names — believe me — but I’m not taking this anymore. Raising questions about public expenditures of money in this province is not against the rules. Anybody who takes public money is open to questioning, and you shouldn’t be questioned about whether you’re racist. If you want no questions, don’t take public money. I would like a declaration from the Speaker about whether people can call each other names in this House anymore. Hon. David Eby: I feel like I should be paying the member rent for the amount of space I’m occupying in her head. Interjection. The Speaker: Shhh. Please. Hon. David Eby: In my answer, I was specifically referring to the staff member that was hired by the Leader of the Opposition who was fired recently for being a racist residential school denialist — properly fired, by the way. I congratulate him for taking that appropriate stand. A little late, but he did take it. I support it. You wouldn’t find me hiring people like that. If the member thought I was talking about her, perhaps that’s her issue.
