Vancouver has spent decades building up a now well-earned reputation for leadership on environmental sustainability.

Apparently, the mayor and ABC majority don't see the value in it.

Hard to imagine a better way to damage the city's brand.

Tomorrow is the only opportunity for the public to speak out on this tragedy of a budget. Over 300 people have signed up so far. If enough people speak out, the hope is that the vote will be delayed. Please sign up! You can speak over the phone; it’s easy. Deadline to sign up is today at 5pm.

I am so goddamn tired of conservatives destroying things that belong to the public. This department doesn't belong to Sim, it's not his, he has no moral right to do this. This is social vandalism.

He just sucks so much. And he's not even a fun mayor who sucks, he's just boring and mid and awful.

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.
Every single time.

This is entirely the fault of Pierre Poilievre, conservatives and right wing nut jobs.
They managed to turn health and science into a political issue.
And sadly people were all to willing to be misled.
When did Canadians become so gullible and stupid?

What a time to be alive 🫤

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.

In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”

And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

Photo: a BMW "adventure" motorcycle

I tucked my little Honda Rebel next to a big BMW motorcycle. BMW owner nods at me, "Last ride of the year?"

Me: "I ride year-round, don't you?"

That seemed to annoy the guy with the big adventure bike.

““Whether you want to judge it by the number of supporters of the white nationalist movement, by their capacity for fundraising, or by the number of people who are signing up for their more militant groups, the white nationalist movement in Canada has never been larger.”

Canada has lost its measles elimination status.
A sad day, a win for anti-vaccine ignorance and politicized public health, a new age where children, families, and communities will face additional health risks for no good reason other than the comfort of joining others with similar fact-less beliefs.

vard <-- I think you dropped this

It's astonishing that Harvey rests the entire movie on the shoulders of a single actress who absolutely will not emote. At all. Just no readable reaction to anything. 😄

They've changed it back again now, but changing a quote is a huge red flag. The BBC are repeatedly demonstrating that there are ideologues directly interfering with the meaning of stories they report relating to trans people, and this should be a far bigger deal than it is

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

This farm apparently hid their outbreak. The best thing that could happen for other farmers is for the CFIA to come down like a ton of bricks on any farm that does that. No compensation for lost livestock, lose all their permits, huge fines, etc. Scorched earth when a farm doesn't report outbreaks.

"Conservative Party voters are the most likely to believe disinformation."

Carney tells business crowd a new pipeline project is 'going to… National Newswatch: Canada's most comprehensive site for political news and views.

The world blew past the dangerous 1.5 degree red line.
Our grandkids will pay the price.
Canada was the outlier in the G7 because of massive oil production expansion.
Mark Carney has decided to go all in on planet burning as a national strategy.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Scheer claims Jeneroux was pressured into resigning because Liberals were harassing him.
He’s actually claiming that.

A good rebuttal to the Post's cadre of constitutional assclowns who argued that suppressing rights is just fine.

Blue sky’s Rude labeller turned off, after they made Hide the default.

If your feed has seemed off these days, it’s because Bsky pulled a Meta and turned a bunch of their moderation settings to “Hide” by default. The “Rude” setting especially should be turned to “Show” as they label it on anything they find as such, and are pretty bad judges.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

when someone is complaining about the "far left" you can usually sub in "the boogeyman" and the argument sounds exactly as serious

After a judge ordered Donald Trump to make SNAP payments, the wannabe king declared he will defy a court order and won't help people afford groceries.

Trump's message to 42 million Americans: eat dirt.

I am 64 years old and FOR MOST OF MY LIFE two things were true:

- fascists were trying to take over the USA

- we were beating them

Those creeps are beatable. We beat them for decades. In the 30s they tried a form of MAGA and US beat them. The 50s? McCarthy purges. US beat them.

Do. Not. Doom.

Here's the Venn diagram of this incident:

That is super surprising! Well done

Can I go ahead and predict: no. It will separate the layers.

Have you tested it yet? Now I'm curious. 🤔
