5 years ago this June, a coworker of my wife's was murdered. So was his wife. So was his 15-year-old daughter. So was his 74-year-old mother. His 9-year-old son survived; orphaned and injured. Why? Because they were Muslim. That's the type of person who is signing up to work for ICE.

#CANADA #RADON #LungCancer We need to expand screening to lung cancer, and get our homes TESTED. 1 in 5 have levels at or above 200 Bq/m³ Also tell our government we need to get rental homes AND spaces tested and remediated where needed as well. Nobody deserves to be exposed to this silent killer.

Again: CEO’s fall short, belatedly, and do not state the root problem of ICE MURDER, excessive force, aggression and violence against peaceful protesters. They deserve to lose that 80% income loss for cowardice & not supporting lawful residents (consumers) #FAIL

Drop the names of any Canadian companies you’ve seen working with ICE in the comments. I’m aware of Gardaworld, Roshel, Hootsuite. Would love to gather any and all other names.

Vancouver's own @hootsuite.com answered the call. vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/01/21/v...

#Cambridge #Ontario National Service Dogs seeking puppy raisers for future service dogs that will eventually work with handlers with ASD or military/first responders with PTSD. Look at those sweet little faces!

It's a good day to stop using Hootsuite and tell them why.

Financial pressures? Wait until every Canadian client and vendor end all their contracts with you Let’s make sure the workers get severance pay “financial pressures“? fuck you

Horribly unsafe! I hope the tenants have made their Fire Chef aware of this place. (his contact is on CivicInfoBC) @christineboyle.bsky.social @davidebybc.bsky.social What can be done to really stop this? Housing is still a crisis & It has to be against the provincal STR rules as well, correct?

I wonder if these guys are the ones I'd been hearing at my house And even if I lived right on the water, i'll take hearing Cali sea lions 24/7 365 forever over ever reliving ANY of my strata days hearing stomping, slamming, arguing, dogs barking or kids crying through the walls coming into our unit

Just remember: when NPR stopped posting on Twitter they only saw traffic to their site drop by a single percentage point. Canadian news outlets, politicians and government agencies are making an active choice to feed value into Musk’s CSAM fascist engine by continuing their presence.

For YEARS we've been telling people to leave their phones at home. This is why.

This housing bubble going to take many, many years to unwind before a next one even starts growing.🙄 This isn't like 2008 And some of those costs Moffatt mentions will be cut/trimmed with existing property owners seeing a rise in property tax to compensate for some of that lost revenue.

Yesterday I suggested that we write all to the editor of the Toronto Sun about Bryan Passifiume celebrating ICE murdering a mother in the street, and SO MANY OF YOU sent me receipts. You all rock so hard. Here is mine. xo

If you live in a democracy, violent protest is unacceptable. If you live in a dictatorship, violent protest is an obligation. This is fundamental but often misunderstood. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

#FORD #VictoriaBC Taurus Not surprised a woman made these contributions to the ergonomics!

@todmaffin.com you've put that feeling into words perfectly.

No, wasn't everywhere. Our messy car in the GTA/TO was never touched. Nanaimo was bad for this tho, Lived there for a bit in the 00's. EVERYONE told me ZERO visible snooping into the windows in your car. Inc an old Starbucks drink or penny in your cup holder. We listened, ours wasn't messed with.

Well done CBC Fifth Estate! How they tracked down some of the CRA identity thieves #FifthEstate #CRA

Please #Ontario ! I hope this passes. Declawing is barbaric. As a kid, we were given a kitty who was already front declawed, and she had the behaviors and symptoms to show for it that NONE of our other cats in Ontario did, because they had all their digits and could walk, run & climb without pain.

Today's laugh #CdnRE The sidelines Cdn's saved & waited this long, they're not buying this hogwash. They're holding tight Delusional sellers- THAT'S whose buying this crap hook line & sinker! Much to the dismay of their agents trying to get them to consider what offers did come in on their property

Resharing a post w this Letter. Not just Port Renfrew, we live in two communities badly impacted. Difficult everywhere in BC vacation rentals allowed to flourish, long term tenants left to pick over scraps- unsafe/poorly maintained dregs unfit for airbnb guests. Well said Colby & BC please #BanSTR

Couldn't compete to buy what we need, but we had to compete with lucrative airbnb income to rent a place near work It's fucking awful, It's really fucking awful. Feel bad complaining, bc we had the $ & got really lucky to even FIND a unit that was clean & safe for LT rent #HousingCrisis #Airbnb #BC

Want a bigger house, but not so big my home is an ankle iron consuming all our free time & $. We just have too many hobbies/stuff for our current home. :D Those who loathe the idea of having to tend to gutters, yard or a garden, and love having neighbours close- condos sure have their place!

Not just Ontario, but everywhere. I keep hearing about ones that look and feel real too.

The financialization of housing is creating a crisis that’s threatening the security of families across Canada. Could co-ops be the way to ensure a home is truly a home, instead of just a profit-maximizing asset? thewalrus.ca/why-co-ops-are-t...

"She said her purchase of a Victoria house as an investment was made possible by the income she earned renting it as an Airbnb. She now rents it from between three to six months, furnished, for about $2,000 a month, which is $800 to $1,000 a month less than her mortgage payments." Poor pookie

I could take it! BUT I moved so far away years ago to even get a little house, I don't have the space to overnight host the 12 friends and family to seat at it!

“… as Canada's condominium market sinks to lows not seen in decades due to a series of market pressures - the value of these micro units is cratering faster than any others. “ www.bbc.com/news/article... #vanre #tore #microsuites #ItsSpeculationStupid #cdnpoli

The LACK of secure, safe housing people can actually find and AFFORD across the country is KILLING PEOPLE, and keeping partners and children trapped in ABUSE. When do we start fucking caring enough to demand change? This is CANADA WIDE. #HousingCrisis is #DomesticViolence 's best friend.

88% of Canadians want a wealth tax. Funny how that public concern never gets a response.

1- it's RE owners that are speculating/levering against their RE vs EVERYONE ELSE. Not a generational war 2-Baby Boomers who RENT exist. They are some of the hardest hit in the housing crisis and going homeless at alarming rates- pensions don't come anywhere close to covering today's rents!

Hope the child recovers. :( It's winter fire season. Get a family safety plan ready, and ensure all bedrooms have alternate egress OUT. Canadian Tire sells fire ladders for your windows if bedrooms are on a second story! Do drills w your family on what to do in the event of a fire.

It would be nice if Canadian journalists started asking our politicians why they continue to use X despite all of the CSAM and fascism, but a lot of Canadian journalists still use it, too.

Isn't this GOOD density? Bigger stratas can suck if they feel too dense, often sitting on noisy land by busy roads Having smaller ones w a few units blending into streets of SFD homes gives more ppl an opportunity to live on a quieter tree lined walk-able street w/o the SFD price tag or yard upkeep

Plan for a safe ride home on New Year’s Eve

Reminder, 911 is for emergencies. Not to unlock your airbnb Not to remove a hornet from your apartment. Not to get a parking spot at Starbucks Not to complain about airport luggage 10 worst 911 calls of 2025:

FINAL HOURS. Thanks to 17 new donors today, who have given over $2,354. Ricochet is a Qualified Donee, and every donation made before midnight can be deducted from 2025 taxes. Help fund public interest journalism. Save democracy. All that good stuff. ricochet.media/single-donat...

Our gen took out big debts for degrees that often, NEVER paid out as we were promised. We have smaller, denser, less peaceful homes than our parents did at our age. Many of us cannot provide our children w as good as- or better childhood than we hand. Many of us have more than one job too.

The F. An electric wheelchair shouldn't have features behind a paywall. 😠

Reposting this. 🍁Canadian Housing. What is more important? a home being a winning investment few can afford, and some of us can continually borrow against, or a structure that provides security & shelter locals can comfortably afford? Housing crisis is keeping people trapped in abuse.

Part time seasonal jobs are nothing to crow about, the fact the cost of essentials continues to grow when they are nearly 100% more than they were 5 years ago is fucking brutal.

housing prevents this. www.emjreviews.com/microbiology...

Wrote about how disappointing it is that Jon Stewart punched down on people masking at @motherjones.com, when people should mind their own business and leave mask wearers be. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Something I really appreciate the Gen Z'ers. they drink WAY less then my, or other past generations and are creating a big enough demand for fun non-alcoholic options being available at events that traditionally were alcohol-centric. :D Thanks Zs! #mocktail #NYE

#Nanaimo #VancouverIsland Update on the Nicol street motel fire. Article has a link to a go fund me to help those who are now homeless from the fire. Hope they find permanent homes soon. Housing crisis is raging across the island, those with lower incomes are hardest hit finding suitable housing.

Ummmmm Better for: Commercial real estate owners Employees who would take credit for others in the office's work Worse for: Reducing pollution/traffic Reducing transmission of colds/flu/COVID Being able to relocate away from the core to access a bigger/cheaper housing for a better quality of life
