ICYMI: For @thetyee.ca, I wrote about a new documentary zeroing in on the backlash to the Tla'amin Nation's request that the city of Powell River consider changing its name. The doc is powerful, and it illuminates some of the tensions bubbling up in B.C. right now. thetyee.ca/Culture/2026...

This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.

articles that write about how "important" immigrant workers are to "the economy" without ever acknowledging that the reason they are important is that they can be treated worse for less pay

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Former senator and Vancouver mayor Larry Campbell says it was a "depressing and traumatic experience" when he began his work as a provincial adviser in the Downtown Eastside last year, but his initial despair then changed to hope.

We have lost a giant, and a hero to countless social justice activists across Canada and around the world. My thoughts & memories on the passing of Stephen Lewis: www.nationalobserver.com/2026/03/31/o...

Western carmakers are retreating from EVs just as oil hits $100 a barrel. The parallels with Detroit in the 1980s are striking. They ignored fuel-efficient Japanese cars. Now they’re ignoring Chinese EVs. BYD just unveiled 600-mile range and 250 miles of charge in 5 minutes.

ZEV sales in Canada back on the upswing after falling back with the removed of the EV rebate. Will be interesting to watch the next few quarters with (a) the EV rebate returning, (b) Chinese EVs coming, and (c) gas prices soaring. (Note: this chart includes Battery Electric and Plug-in Hybrid)

A five-times draft dodger is running the war. A six-times bankrupter is running the economy. What could go wrong?

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are. The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war. We always find the money for war. But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

"Delaying housing does not save money; it shifts costs to other parts of the system, where they are far more expensive." Read this new commentary from community housing sector leaders Jill Atkey, Margaret Pfoh and Thom Armstrong. https://ow.ly/61Go50YvB3Z

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

The NDP strongly condemns the American and Israeli bombings of Iran. This is a dangerous escalation already causing a wider conflict. Iran’s nuclear program must be addressed through the UN and the IAEA. Diplomacy, accountability and international law, not more war.

I think some fair context for this is Lloyd Axworthy is one of the most influential politicians Canada has produced on the international stage in the last 40 years or so, even if he's not a household name.

Unlike US feeds... the CBC feed in Canada is doing some fact checking of his bullshit in real time.

I get that this is some pretty low politics, but do we have to use "drug users" as an insult? I'd say "ABC hack" is probably a bigger diss. @stephenquinn.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We’re excited to get this one out there today!

At the Legislature for the provincial budget last week to hear about the doubling of the Volunteer Firefighter Tax Credit. Huge shout-out to Stephanie Hiigginson and Parksville's Sean Wood for their leadership.

That’s a paltry amount that is simply performative given the scale of the crisis Cuba faces.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/17/us-military-boats-strikes

“Our transition to EVs is aimed at ensuring our energy sovereignty,” said Ethiopia’s state minister for transport and logistics. “As a net importer of fuel, we are affected by global supply and price fluctuations. In contrast, EVs use electricity, which we produce locally and can price ourselves.”

“.. We could spend the whole day reacting to every buffoonish spectacle coming out of the White House, but that's exactly what they want: for us to lose focus … Don't be distracted by the noise; watch what they are doing to your rights while you stare at the screen.”

A few takeaways from the BC budget Real spending cuts in health care are here: Regional health authorities will only see a 0.7% increase in 2025-26 and a 2.5% increase in 2026-26—far below the 5-6% needed to maintain service levels, account for inflation, population growth and aging 1/ #bcpoli

There's a growing gap between Canada’s emissions and its climate targets, according to the Canadian Climate Institute's progress report on Canada’s 2030 climate plan. To build a prosperous, resilient future, governments must implement their climate plans.

My heart is with Tumbler Ridge. As families grieve, we’re seeing harmful misinformation targeting the trans community. Facts matter, transgender people are far more likely to be victims than perpetrators. Tragedy should never be weaponized to divide us. Choose compassion and care over fear.

Why can't Jeff Bezos escape from Trump's billionaire bunker? Because he has two right feet.
