Honestly, I'm kind of sick of hearing about those fucking ostriches.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

While I agree that "first ten past the post" is the stupidest of stupid electoral systems, I'm not really convinced that a lawsuit filed by the guy who lost the last election is the way to fix it. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

My new passport arrived and, while I don't love the excessive heft of the photo page, I do love that there are freaking narwhals in our passports.

BC has a revenue problem, not a spending problem, co-executive director and senior economist @iglikaivanova.bsky.social explains. Spending has increased but there are options to raise revenue, including additional personal income tax brackets and property tax reform. bcpolicy.ca/2025/09/...

I realise it's been awhile since it's rained but that's no excuse for the absolute dogshit driving I witnessed on my way home tonight.

I don't understand what makes the people who run YVR think it's acceptable for baggage to take an hour to arrive at the carousel. It took five hours to travel more than halfway across the continent, and takes an hour to travel the last several hundred metres?? This is so very absurd.

Ee Quinn Ox OR Ek Win Ox ?

This is the appropriate way to edit such a tribute.

I'm a 42-year-old masc-presenting person in a room full of 20-something mostly women and I feel like an absolute creeper.

Avi Lewis announces candidacy for NDP leadership - rabble.ca rabble.ca/politics/can...

Why are Canadian airports universally bad at baggage handling? Like, more than half an hour to even start delivering bags is completely inexplicable.

I forgot about muting words until now and my feed is already significantly better without the surname of that recently deceased man who people can't stop talking about for some reason.

I for one would love to join a dating co-op.

I'm on the 6 and the driver seems to be taking the sabbath elevator approach to stopping; we have stopped at every stop whether anyone wanted it or not. This is not going to help me get where I'm going on time.

Google keeps feeding me ads for that transphobic wizard event at Stanley Park and, unlike other companies like Meta, won't allow blocking specific advertisers. I've tried reporting it every time I get the ad but I have no avenue to actually block it. Anyone have any tips for this?

I won’t be asking for extra salt and vinegar again.

It's wild how there's a New Westminster station on the SkyTrain but then there are those four other stations that are also in New Westminster? And Vancouver City Centre plus those other (at least) three stations that are in the city centre?

Today I overheard a fully grown adult talk about how CoViD derailed their high school travel plans, and I now feel about a thousand years old.

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures. This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

idk man, a future where kids get to spend their summers outside and not breathing ash would be a good result for a PM no? oh sorry, i forgot i was speaking to 3 pipeline companies in a trenchcoat

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

I'm renewing my passport online and apparently the Government of Canada hasn't contemplated the possibility that people might be self-employed? Like...??? That's all anyone is now, and it's not one of the choices you can make.

NIMBYs play the long game. Today they are protesting the construction of a larger elementary school. Next year they will say their neighborhood cannot accommodate more housing because the school won’t have enough room. Happens all the time.

[Stares into void where NDP should be.] "Mr. Carney has shown himself inclined to side with management… The Liberals have a tendency to cite the national good as a reason for curtailing worker rights, but to define the national good as maintaining economic stability & the corporate status quo."

Wow! Sainte-Catherine East, in Montreal’s Gay Village, is going to be rebuilt as a permanent year-round pedestrian street. Currently it’s only car-free each year in the summer.

The absolute audacity of American tourists in Canada choosing to wear SpaceX merch.

Why does Granville Island post signs saying their public toilets are open until 10pm when in fact they lock them all up sometime after 6pm?

The internet is a terrible place to be right now.

Worried the proposed four storey school won’t fit the character of the neighbourhood? Adding some office space and housing on top of the school fixes that. Somewhere between 12 and 17 storeys is a good baseline, but to be safe we should add a few extra storeys to future-proof it.

Honestly, how much would it cost for TransLink to have their own app that gave actual real-time information about bus locations?

"We could and should seize this moment to recruit top academic talent: undergrads and graduates who’ve either had their US student visas delayed or denied, or who’ve decided not to run the risks of being a foreign student in Trump’s America." Instead, we get scapegoating and limits.

Did anyone else just get a pre-authorization of $15 from Mobi on their credit card? I asked about it and they told me "We placed a temporary $15 pre-authorization on your payment card to confirm it's a valid payment method. This helps prevent fraud and ensures fair access for all riders."

Given how famously bad AI is at math, it's kind of brilliant that CAPTCHAs are starting to include arithmetic now.

4) have you ever felt safe because a cop was around, or does the sight of blue only ever register as threat?

DEAR AI CALL CENTER: I JUST WANT TO TALK TO A REPRESENTATIVE. IF I WANTED TO DO ALL THE SHIT YOU'VE JUST TAKEN 30 MINUTES TO RULE OUT, I WOULD'VE DONE IT ONLINE

This tells you all you need to know: "Although the survey results show significant support for reallocating at least one lane of Stanley Park Drive for active transportation and for car-free options..." Although. Although the public wants this, we're going to do something else. #bikeyvr

One more reason for pedestrianizing Granville Island: to protect the absolute geniuses who walk into the middle of the street with their backs to traffic and eyes on their phone screens. We must protect these people at all costs.

I support a democratically elected park board. Part of democracy is ensuring that the government’s decisions match the city’s values. Vancouver is a city for all its people. Trans people included. I am calling on the Park Board to rethink this event and make this right.

Kicked of the Vancouver Fringe Festival with a total banger. Accidentally Heterosexual is a one person comedy show by and about being a trans woman in love with a trans man, and so much more! Hilarious, heartwarming, get a ticket if you still can! #FringeVancouver #VancouverFringe #KeepOnFringing

I should not have to agree to a legal contract just to turn off the lights but the makers of Hue really prefer that I do.

I am so bad a tipping when it involves literally handing cash to someone. Like, a machine asking me for more money, no problem. A jar with a cute little sign, easy. Actually interacting with a human to personally give them cash, I lose all my interpersonal skills and often abandon ship altogether.

Is it just me or are the buses getting… shakier? Like I don't remember the last time I had a smooth ride on a bus.

The DNV is way more rural than I realised. And not the "our food comes from here" kind of rural, the other kind of rural.

For all the complaints of supposedly unused walking and biking infrastructure, I frequently find myself being prevented from crossing the street because of an advanced turn light for cars that don't exist.

I have to get from the West End to Deep Cove by around 8:30am tomorrow. On Granfondo day. RIP me getting any sleep tonight.

Hi. I know I've said this before, but it bears repeating: we have to be able to criticize Mark Carney without living in fear that doing so will help Poilievre or weaken Canada. He is our Prime Minister. Out of anyone, he deserves to be watched and critiqued. We should all be dying on this hill.

Remember when our premier led a civil liberties organization? Times have really changed for the worst.
