We Finally Have Some Info on School Liaison Officer Training | The Tyee After two years of FOI requests and complaints, the Vancouver police finally let The Tyee review some training modules.

You wouldn’t believe the lengths @kehyslop.bsky.social had to go to to get basic info on the training for school liaison officers. This contoversial VPD program was briefly shuttered in 2021 before being reinstated in 2023. #vanpoli thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

And smoking! 😶‍🌫️

I’m old enough to remember Royal Dalton china on Wardair.

Worker dies at copper mine northeast of Williams Lake, B.C. | CBC News A worker has died after an accident at Taseko's Gibraltar copper mine. The company says it has halted operations to allow for an investigation.

With unused capacity in TMX and demand expected to peak over the next decade, it's unclear whether we would need it at all if/when it was built.

Ellis Ross's position is one of the more quietly fascinating aspects of this story...

He's had a couple zingers on this issue.

Heartbreaking. 💔

BC's premier compared Alberta/Sask oil pipeline plans to "a couple tourists wearing sandals wandering into the woods on the North Shore."

Here's a map of those deep, dark woods — my deep dive on 50 years of fighting oil transportation on BC's north coast. @thetyee.ca

As the federal government works toward a deal with Alberta to ship crude from the oilsands through northern B.C., it will have to navigate a long-standing agreement to keep oil tankers away from B.C.’s north coast.

It’s a debate many in B.C. believed long settled.

We’ve needed an emergency shelter every year since our last one closed five years ago, not just this year. It just took this long to make it happen.

"Kitimat: It's Not For Everyone."

There's a new #1 in the ranking of B.C. small town slogans.

At COP30 Canada just got awarded the fossil of the day — first time since 2014 (the harper years). Clear sign of how Carney’s pro fossil fuel agenda and backsliding on climate policy is being noticed internationally.

A note on the BTS on this: the province "embargoed" this and held an info session and press conference Monday morning but made media sign a thing promising not to publish until it was tabled that afternoon. Then we were told it was embargoed until Wednesday, then it's released today w/ no notice.

ANALYSIS | Ottawa names Yukon grid project in new major projects list. What does that mean? | CBC News Prime Minister Mark Carney may have put the Yukon-B.C. grid connection on the latest list of nation-building projects, but Yukoners are no closer to knowing when they can tap into B.C. hydro.

BC's power grid is already overextended based on the province's plans for electrifying current and future industrial expansion.

Apparently now we're also going to power the Yukon. 🙃

Prominent legal scholar detained at Canadian border while on his way to a conference on Palestine | CBC News A well-known academic and former UN special rapporteur says he was detained by customs agents in Toronto while on his way to speak at a conference on human rights violations against Palestinians.

Even from the gov that brought you the "Zionist Palestinian state", this is utterly appalling.

A Trumpian border interrogation?

Richard Falk is no national security threat. He's a legend of international law.

The PM should apologize personally.

“Israeli military forces opened fire on United Nations peacekeepers in southern Lebanon on Sunday, in an incident the U.N. peacekeeping mission described as a serious violation”

Google didn’t show me that reference. I don’t know what happened, but it’s chilling on its surface.

Falk is a prominent human rights expert who turned 95 on the day he was detained.

This is who Canada sees as a potential threat to national security?

Taylor Swift’s silence on the Trump administration using her music speaks volumes | Alim Kheraj Official Trump social media accounts have been using The Life of a Showgirl snippets to promote his agenda. Why has Swift, who once wanted ‘to be on the right side of history’, said nothing?

Excellent context on Carney’s announcement yesterday in Terrace: “At Thursday’s announcement, Carney sidestepped sticky questions around the U.S. investment in Ksi Lisims and opposition from other First Nations in the region.”

Ksi Lisims LNG Makes Federal List of ‘Nation-Building’ Projects | The Tyee The prime minister sidestepped questions about US ownership and First Nations opposition at a northern BC presser.

Who owns Ksi Lisims? Helpful context on the project from @amandafollett.bsky.social

When asked about Indigenous opposition to fast-tracking natural resource projects, including Ksi Lisims, Carney said that the feds are "putting on the table huge financing for indigenous equity ownership," suggesting that nations who oppose the projects should simply buy into them.

Ksi Lisims LNG Makes Federal List of ‘Nation-Building’ Projects | The Tyee The prime minister sidestepped questions about US ownership and First Nations opposition at a northern BC presser.

In Terrace yesterday, Prime Minister Mark Carney sidestepped questions about US ownership and First Nations opposition to the Ksi Lisims LNG export terminal, which has been added to a list of projects the feds plan to expedite.

My latest for @thetyee.ca.

NEW: Canada's Major Projects Office plans to expedite Ksi Lisims LNG and "associated infrastructure," clearly the planned North Coast Transmission Line, PM Carney just announced in Terrace.

Unclear what this means, exactly, when both feds and BC approved Ksi Lisims in September.

ALSO: BC Hydro's declaration that I would lose power this morning has not yet come to fruition and for this I am grateful.

You can literally hear the electricity buzzing through the livestream from the substation where Carney is about to make this announcement. I feel like my hair is about to stand on end.
