Yeah the one on Grandview! Which I discovered is open until 10 and will therefore be going to more frequently, if not only for AA-rated muzak.

I suppose it’s possible it was a daring late shift employee aux-cording ;)

Same day I heard an F-bomb on Canadian Tire background muzac (Cake’s version of “I will Survive”)

Concluding it’s no longer a swear by end of 2026

Tragedy exposes weak standards. Canada lags the EU on vehicle size and pedestrian impact safety, and people are dying because of it. Rapid change means opportunity—align our vehicle rules with Europe now

An image in muted colours showing vague aesthetic animated illustrations of a light-brown-skinned man with curly hair, Black woman with a short afro, and red-headed white woman sitting in various poses on, respectively, a reclined chair, a bench, and a stool, in front of and facing an abstract geometrical image, as if considering it and mid-discussion about it.

Vancouver, too.

If i hadn't noticed a giant pickup truck driver NOT noticing me turning left on Davie from Burrard & darted JUST out of the way last week,

I'm certain he would have run me over

I screamed & he looked super shocked & apologetic. The front of his truck was close to my 6'1 head

We can also pilot a model that prioritizes stability over shareholder returns, transparency over marketing spin, and public interest over private margins. In a moment where economic insecurity is rising, cities need new tools. A city-run grocery should be one of them.

😂What is the actual point of Draisaitl’s mouthguard, literally never on his teeth

Does a word make a meaning if it falls in a forest of no click rate ?

I guess time will tell if it comes back online in some form …

Noticing The Economist yanked this piece after publication?

"Carney's Collosal Canada-US pact", "It woudl give America a first right of refusal on Canadian minerals"

Bill C-2 has enormous implications for the privacy of Canadians. Buried toward the end is a law enforcement wish list that includes warrantless disclosure of information about Internet subscribers and unprecedented access to Internet provider networks.

Joint Statement on Efforts to Counter the Proliferation and Misuse of Commercial Spyware - United States Department of State This Joint Statement was originally announced on March 30, 2023, at the second Summit for Democracy, with an inaugural group of eleven likeminded partners. Since then, it has been updated to reflect a...

Wait a minute, though

Isn't Canada 🇨🇦 a signatory to the Joint Statement to control mercenary spyware? Doesn't that statement oblige countries to "establish robust guardrails" around spyware use?

Yes!

Has the govt delivered on those commitments? 😮‍💨

Nope

Virtue or Vice? A First Look at Paragon’s Proliferating Spyware Operations - The Citizen Lab In our first investigation into Israel-based spyware company, Paragon Solutions, we begin to untangle multiple threads connected to the proliferation of Paragon's mercenary spyware operations across t...

Especially because we @citizenlab.ca discovered that Ontario Provincial Police are customers of Israel-based Paragon spyware used to silently hack phones of targets (and which is now implicated in government surveillance abuses in Italy 🇮🇹)

Way to go Amanda :)

Almost half of young people would prefer a world without internet, UK study finds Half of 16- to 21-year-olds support ‘digital curfew’ and nearly 70% feel worse after using social media

An astonishing statistic. And the fact that we created a world where that is virtually logistically impossible is a real detriment and very sad.

Canada now has a minister of artificial intelligence. What will he do? | CBC News Canada has its very first minister of artificial intelligence in veteran broadcaster and newly elected Toronto Centre MP Evan Solomon. So what does that job exactly entail?

"The [Liberal Party] platform... suggests Solomon will have a massive job touching nearly every aspect of the economy and with national security considerations."

Yet CBC itself fails to mention they fired this dumbass for violating the most basic of journalistic ethics
www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

It refers to how you have to boil bitter sappy crap for 60 years to get one year of good/sweet

TLDR:

Nothing currently proposed by any government has the slightest hope of addressing the housing crisis by basic math.

And even the inadequate things are proposed to take a decade and will probably take longer

The WCC board still would require a few more restaurant options actually open at both domestic & international YVR

Your failure to grasp this is a bit trying, but I’ll help you one last time:

It doesn’t matter if Carney was a politician or not yet, it matters if Solomon had access because of his role.

The scandal was Solomon’s ethical breach and it was always an issue and remains one 👋

Relations resuming as normal after this really does seem like it was the beginning of the current era of not bothering pretending authoritarians will be checked

You’re describing the Internet.

Now, less ironic mass-scolding and more coming up with bluesky - scold puns,

“More like BlueSkold” or some such ?

“Not in politics” lol … he was the governor of the Bank of England after a long term as bank of Canada and there were many whispers of his future here

If you are in a position of power because you are a journalist & you personally profit from connections that affords you…

(One of those connections was our current Prime Minister whom he brokered an art deal to)

most journalists I know would call that an “ethics violation”. Thx for your opinion

Canadians and journalists especially must not let this scandal go

There was absolutely no ambiguity in the inappropriateness of Solomon’s ethic breaches & it bodes terribly for his integrity as a pub official

…and for 🇨🇦 that Carney calculated: No political price appointing his very art dealer

In February when Pierre Poilievre was holding a rally in downtown Ottawa, Bruce Fanjoy was door-knocking in Carleton.

I asked Fanjoy, who was considered at the time a major underdog, why this was so personal for him.

Carleton agreed with his pitch, denying Poilievre his seat.
