Hey Vancouver : can we do this? Some of this? It's what NYC's up to with mayor elect Mamdani

Big fan of rooftop gardens 🌱 🌳

"Gay I"?? Come on Grindr, is this really necessary

Are you looking for a great way to directly support the local arts & culture scene in Vancouver? Seats & tables are still available for the Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden kick off gala fundraiser. There will be Hanfu performers, great food, silent auction. DM for details

I'm sorry TransLink this is just mean. Nowhere to sit, no overhead cover to protect from rain or sun, located on the side of a busy 5-lane overpass right before the Lions Gate Bridge, & to top it off this route is *regularly* filled to max capacity during rush hour. #PlanningFail

Magaziner Introduces Bill to Stop Trump from Invading Greenland, Canada, and Panama WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Seth Magaziner (RI-02.) introduced the No Invading Allies Act, legislation to prohibit President Trump from invading Greenland, Canada, or Panama without a vote of Congress.

For what it's worth, the "No Invading Allies Act" has been introduced to prevent Trump from invading Canada, Panama, or Greenland without approval from Congress. Kinda seems like a dictator's gonna dictate either way though

Hey West Vancouver: this is a literal death trap. It's the only way for pedestrians to get to the nearest bus stop by the Capilano River. Coworkers and I have already slipped & fallen. Can only imagine what it's like for people pushing strollers, in wheelchairs, or the elderly

Ok Tinder, this notification is kinda creepy. Either this was written by AI, or it's a poorly thought out marketing campaign lol

Maybe it's an aging thing, but I get so much joy sometimes from raising my eyebrows at people who piss me off. It's like saying: "no, YOU'RE the crazy one", without actually saying a word

Trump to create religious office in White House, target ‘anti-Christian bias’ U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he would create a White House faith office and direct Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead a task force on eradicating what he called anti-Christian bias wit...

The "White House Faith office" is actually being put forward by the Trump administration. The US is going full Handmaid's Tale right now

Curious if TransLink's ever been audited to understand why there are almost constant escalator repairs / replacements at SkyTrain stations

Sometimes the cost of extra virgin olive oil these days just makes me want to cry

During my morning commute on yet another bus packed to absolute capacity, I'm suddenly curious what the net worth is of TransLink's CEO. No reason

Trump orders tariffs on Colombia over rejection of US military deportation flights BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday that he was ordering tariffs, visa restrictions and other retaliatory measures to be taken against Colombia after its government rejecte...

Hey Vancouver: replace the word 'migrant' in this article with 'homeless person', and you'll see why trying to ship 'undesirables' to your neighbors is an awful idea straight out of Trump's playbook

Microsoft Outlook: for the love of GOD please stop reminding me about meetings that have already happened

Vancouver mayor rejects new supportive housing projects, promises ‘crackdown’ in Downtown Eastside Vancouver’s mayor intends to reject any new social housing projects proposed in his city.

We're in a housing crisis and THIS is what the mayor of Vancouver thanks is good for the city??? We need an urgent change in leadership

Have a great day, raincity renegade!

This is a wild take. Try the app! You might learn something! Lots of people currently are :-) 🌈

Maybe wait to pass uniformed judgment until you've actually had a chance to explore the app. Everyone is super welcoming & friendly! They literally figured out how to integrate translation features into comments & video captions within a few days to help foreigners on the app understand

Global resistance towards oppression and censorship, in all its forms, is growing. The failures of capitalism, especially in North America, are becoming very apparent. This is a moment when we ask ourselves collectively what type of world do we all want to live in 3/3

We are moving into an era of digital citizenship, as global citizens, in which boundaries between countries are becoming less important, while genuine connection & empathy with other global citizens is becoming more important 2/3

One of the implications of the framing of online users migrating from TikTok to RedNote as "refugees", is that people everywhere NEED online spaces free from government or corporate propaganda to express themselves, share ideas, and learn about the world freely 1/3

With the recent shift of users to RedNote/Xiaohongshu, Americans & Canadians are shocked to learn how cheap grocery bills, cars, rent, cell phone bills, purchasing a home etc is in China. It's becoming obvious that we're being taken advantage of by our own govts & oligarchies

Do you think this kind of young leadership could happen today?

There's an ad on TikTok that's encouraging people to take out cash advances in order to buy groceries. What the heck

Cities and countries should never be run like a business. Businesses are motivated by the profit incentive. Governments should concern themselves with much more than just turning a profit

Is it possible for the federal government to set price caps on certain types of groceries? Kinda seems like a better solution, than handing out tax credit rebates for a few hundred dollars after the fact
