This sign brightened my ride as I rode into Olympic Village in #Vancouver. Thanks @tomflood.bsky.social

Dark times.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

So Canada what's the plan?

Tariffs or no tariffs, America has proven it can't be trusted. We need to aim for a post-American future.

Let's go a step further - cars need to be bikes to earn top safety rating.

Things that make me happy.

Exactly this.

I get and support good moderation. That said, the downside is that this place is just an echo chamber. Both places are. That's not in anyone's long-term interest. There are limits, but we should probably make more room for hearing things we don't like. Yes, even dehumanizing things.

Dear fellow Canadians,

If you're upset by some Indigenous people reminding us of what our flag means to them today, if you truly love Canada, you will listen to those Indigenous people and help make things right with them, so one day, we can celebrate our flag together after TRUE reconciliation.❤️🇨🇦🧡

BlueSky🦋 for the win.

Housing minimums not parking minimums. We 100% know how to do this. It just takes will and leadership.

Most truth.

Just because Trump has “paused” tariffs on Canada for 30 days, it doesn’t mean we should stop EMERGENCY-LEVEL work to:

- Remove provincial trade barriors.
- Significantly diversify our trade globally and mitigate the damage any U.S. Govt can do to us.
- Strengthen our ability to defend ourselves.

True.

Feels true.

The worst people are really winning.

Growing up, my family lived below the poverty line, and no one on either side had ever gone to university.

Starting as a young adult, I’ve needed 13 surgeries and procedures over 3 decades to save my eye sight.

Because I was born in Canada, I was able to earn an excellent education, and I can see.

Winning the internet for today.

Here are the actual facts and not the mendacious dumbfuckery and/or willful ignorance that we heard from Zuckerberg of the $900k watch.

It's honestly kind of amazing I've been able to survive this long.

I was so wrong.

"You are probably going to be a very successful computer person. But you're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole."

The winds have changed. Trump's gonna lose.

The people saying "try being gay in Gaza" as a retort to leftists calling for ceasefire don't seem to realize that it's a *more* principled position than their own. Even homophobes shouldn't be indiscriminately murdered!

I'm really racking up the invite codes waiting for the collapse of garbage human Elmo's X.

Checking back in as Musk bag thinks I'd even pay him a penny to support his X. I'm sure I can find better humans to support thx. I'd also happily give them more than a buck a month.

Well this still hasn't killed my hate relationship with 'X'. I really wish this place would become the new town square. Elmo is intolerable.
