Props to @seanorr.bsky.social for live-skying this thing but maybe the brain needs a break lol

I call it “derelicte”!

It’s so nice to see all the Canucks players back in town early, having put in a solid summer of training and I’m sure there won’t be any distractions that’ll mess up the critical start to their season

I support identity verification, but this two-tier, multi-step system risks voter suppression in practice. I remain dedicated to working constructively with the party to facilitate a fair, equitable, and secure election, and I had no part in bringing our internal legal letter to light.

Rob Shaw: BC Green leadership candidate calls for changes to party verification system One of the candidates in the race to become leader of the BC Greens says the party needs to make changes to a verification process that could leave hundreds, if not thousands, of new members unable to...

Member verification systems are supposed to keep bad actors out. They are not supposed to prevent eligible members from engaging in a party's electoral process. But that's what the @bcgreens.bsky.social broken verification system is doing. 🧵

"Giving private developers low-cost loans to build $$ rental housing won't help folks who are homeless. Making home ownership cheaper won't help either. Even most new social housing excludes low-income people nowadays. We need 1000s of units of dignified non-market housing at about $500/mo"

Jean Swanson: An open letter to housing minister Gregor Robertson Jean Swanson remembers Gregor Robertson's promises to the Downtown Eastside community.

Please read Jean Swanson's letter to Housing Minister Gregor Robertson.

As "progressive" Vancouver mayor, Gregor Robertson vowed to end street homelessness. We all know how that turned out. Developers profited, homelessness surged.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve read all day and my X timeline is filled with Donald Trump tweets

Read the whole short thread, but it really is so silly to see the Juice Man saying we can't bring prices down too much but we also need more affordable housing.

Buddy you sound like a kid who wants to wear a t-shirt outside in the winter but doesn't want to be cold

What if adding homes doesn’t boost affordability? SF upzoning fight fueled by housing advocate schism.

YIMBY leader’s quote to the SF Examiner: “The fact is, rich people need to live somewhere.”

While co-opting the language of housing justice, SF's YIMBY movement has always been about housing for the wealthy, enriching real estate speculators, and opposing the interests of tenants and workers.

It was odd to hear some ABC councillors complain that this issue was being politicized. Children going hungry is a policy failure. Ergo it’s inherently political.

Once again, might I interest the proud, hockey-loving residents of Vancouver in municipalizing our team? Because this owner is trash.

Mark Carney questions why struggling young Canadians not setting up offshore tax havens OTTAWA - At a recent campaign stop, Prime Minister Mark Carney admitted to being genuinely puzzled why more cash-strapped young Canadians aren't using elite asset management firms to maximize their of...

Mark Carney questions why struggling young Canadians not setting up offshore tax havens

A Geography of the 2025 Civic By-Elections in the City of #Vancouver..it's interesting to see how this reflects the social, economic & political geographies of the City + illustrative of various campaigning strategies, but, with a 15% voter turnout rate, the road to 2026 is open.

This is unacceptable, @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social.

Sean Orr's tweet was *sarcasm* yet you read it out as if it wasn't. His tweet was attacking an anti-semitic troll through mockery, which you failed to transmit.

Did you leave out the context this on purpose? Fix this immediately please.

Calm down, the S&P is back to where jt was to start the year.

Just cancelled premium connectivity on my car. Every little bit counts. I’ll suffer the indignity of pairing to the wifi hotspot on my phone every time I drive. Also, already have a Rivian pre-order in so about to flood the market with some used Teslas too which should eat into his sales.

Need to post the follow-up with the empty tray “got that dog in me”

Trump threatens federal funds for schools that allow "illegal protests" "Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came," he wrote.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like this suddenly hands student protesters the power to DEFUND THEIR COLLEGE?

If I were a student protester, I would get right on that! Make the administration panic until they cave to your demands.

Real rich of you to bring up the state that literally buses out hundreds of thousands of people out of their state into sanctuary cities. But yes, build baby build.

FOI results reveal intensive multi-year lobby campaign by Urban Development Institute to influence BC provincial government housing legislation. Global Housing Targets are one example. Intro: Sasha Izard of CRD Watch (Capital Regional District of Greater Victoria Watch) wanted to know the role of the Urban Development Institute in driving provincial housing legislation. The UDI i…

"What we see is a direct line between what the UDI [developer lobby] was lobbying for & the actual legislation adopted by the BC NDP gov't, featuring the top-down imposition of a 1-size-fits-all approach that usurps municipal authority"

Ok. Grok 3 did it even better

Oh Raffi, please don’t associate your beautiful children’s song with that fascist creep. But if we’re going to do it… I guess let’s do it right. I had Deepseek take a stab at some lyrics

Elon and DOGE have got all the contact info, bruh

They about to Tonya Harding Jake Sanderson

A bunch of Canadians who might come to regret that MAGA hat photo. At top right, Angelo Isidorou of the BC Conservatives and also behind the Chip Wilson-funded "Vancouver Is Dying" film which demonized the homeless. It's amusing that Trump is their biggest problem right now.

Yes, BlueSky is American, but unlike the Bird App, it's not a partner to the current regime.
