Nazi self-help, very literally in the bargain bin.

The ostrich...followers...have decided that West Coast Reduction Ltd, the rendering plant in East Van, will be disposing of the culled ostriches. West Coast Reduction posted this yesterday evening.

Founders of groundbreaking Vancouver compassion club found guilty of drug trafficking Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum, who sold club members drugs they had tested for safety, plan to launch a constitutional challenge against Canada's drug laws on November 24. pressprogress.ca/founders-of-...

Drug User Liberation Front founders Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum have been found guilty of all charges. A lot people upset in this courtroom right now. Defence going to be mounting a constitutional challenge.

Universal Ostrich was one in a line of BC movements that leveraged conspiracies to radicalize & grift. Whether it's wildfires or water licenses or avian influenza, rural communities bear the brunt & become a quirky backdrop rather than humans grappling with right-wing extremism.

the same day Vancouver city council voted to approve $17M in increased VPD spending, they couldn't find $1M of ~taxpayer~ funds for the DTES Community Land Trust to buy a property www.vancitylookout.com/p/city-counc...

Hi Bluesky 👋 Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

The Supreme Court of Canada will not hear Universal Ostrich Farms' case, which means the cull is no longer stayed.

The Universal Ostrich Farms saga could be coming to an end--the Supreme Court of Canada is currently scheduled to decide if they will take the case or not on Nov 6.

NEW: Whether you measure it by number of supporters, fundraising ability, or by the size of its militant groups, the white nationalist movement in Canada has never been larger or more of a threat.

City of North Vancouver debunks fake Indigenous land title letter

The white supremacy coming out of One BC is a real problem & I expect the NDP to push back. Instead, they employ language like "real people" to describe one side of a legal dispute, profoundly dehumanizing Indigenous people & Indigenous rights. vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e...

Jim McMurty, a far-right "activist" & newest member of OneBC, shared a fake letter meant to drive fear & uncertainty around land title in the City of North Vancouver. The Tl’uqtinus decision is emboldening hysterical racism. Loud anti-Indigenous voices live in North Van. It's so embarrassing.

The whole tone of this, almost fawning, is very ick for the CBC. What is going on over there? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

How much longer does BC have to put up with this ghoul of a party and their blatant white supremacy? Elections BC opens recall petition applications on April 20, 2026 hint hint

1/ The BC Supreme Court rejected certification of a class-action lawsuit against Bonnie Henry related to COVID health mandates. It was filed in Jan 2021 by the Canadian Society for the Advancement of Science in Public Policy (CSASPP), aka SueBonnieHenry. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Jim McMurty, a former BC teacher who lost his job over Residential School denial, has been stoking anti-Indigenous racism with a letter allegedly from the Mayor of Richmond, Malcolm Brodie. Is this letter even real? ⬇️

At this family friendly event, a lady in an SUV tried to drive through the crowd because her daughter had to get to a soccer game and refused to do a u-turn. This is exactly what we mean when say drivers are entitled in this city. Unreal.

This is exactly why we issued our warning on Trump’s designation of antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and how it could affect Canada. The wheels are already in motion here to deploy similar language to legally target political opponents

Merged municipalities. Rogue mayors. WARDS?!?!? B.C.'s next municipal election is taking place a year from today and in some communities, campaigns are already taking shape. I looked at what's happening where for @thetyee.ca: thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

If you are going to platform Fuentes in any way, it is unforgivable to treat him with kid gloves or set aside his neo-Nazism. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ris...

The pile-on on Parks Board Commissioner Tom Digby over cancelling the Harry Potter thing—which BTW funnelled money to JK Rowling—is international & vicious TERFs & YIMBYs are strikingly similar online: personal, vicious, organized brigading. Can't win on logic? Try terror!

This is an X ad lmao Increasing funding to libraries ❌ More sports & rec spaces ❌ Better transportation networks ❌ More housing & infrastructure ❌ Paying to brag about shit austerity measures because your base caters to billionaires who don't care about the majority ✅

"Some ask, 'Is this too much?' I reflect on our newest Hollybrook in the Delbrook community, where, within one month of opening, we received more than 800 applications for subsidized units. No, it is not too much – we need more." www.nsnews.com/opinion/lett...

OneBC invited anti-2SLGBTQ+ activist Chris Elston, aka Billboard Chris, into the Legislature to promote OneBC's discriminatory attempt to ban healthcare for trans & gender-diverse folks. Elston is associated w/ Heritage Foundation, Gays Against Gr--mers & other hate groups.

When your net worth is about $8.8 billion CAD ($6.3B USD) and your election campaign gets you a $600 fine, it's just "polarizing" and not "ongoing disinformation."

Good coverage of Indigenous people getting pulled into the Universal Ostrich mess. Farm supporters bombarded local Nations for support & called for Land Back--but by that they meant kicking out CFIA so Eperson could control ostrich pens, not Indigenous sovereignty. www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

All I ever hear is that crime & disorder are ruining every corner of BC. Fraser-Fort George Regional District just decided to send bylaw officers to use-of-force training. Interesting data in this editorial that counters claims of increasing violence. www.therockymountaingoat.com/2025/10/edit...

Some insight into part of the grift running at Universal Ostrich Farms: - Convince other farms to buy breeding hens ($45,000 for 6 birds in 2017) - Promise to buy back chicks at $3/lb live weight Turns out some of the ostriches on the farm are owned by others. Oops. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

RCMP PLTs (Police Liaison Team) at Universal Ostrich Farms. Officially, these officers are supposed to de-escalate. RCMP hugs & bonding time do not happen when the protest is viewed as vaguely left-wing. RCMP hugs & bonding time do happen when far-right conspiracy theorists gather.

I made a flyer! Know anyone in CA, OR, WA, or BC who might be interested in collecting mushrooms for research purposes? #mycology #citizenscience Please share widely! 🧪 🍄‍🟫 🌲 A PDF version can be found here: drive.proton.me/urls/W1MM4FG...

Ken Sim, the law & order mayor elected by the Vancouver Police Union, reposted white nationalist media to imply that Sean Orr is affiliated w/ terrorists for calling on people to uphold international law & end genocide in Palestine. Laws you like are good but the ICJ's law is "terrorism?"

1/ I haven't covered Lindsay Shepherd much since moving to BlueSky, so here's a thread from September 2024. This is BC Conservative Party's Director at Large Lindsay Shepherd with George Hutcheson of the white nationalist Students for Western Civilization. Faith Goldy is in the background.

It's amazing how much parking stress you can release by walking places & using transit. I did come about 12 inches from death a few weeks ago when a driver wasn't paying attention & sped through a red light. Do pedestrian injuries & deaths factor into ✨wellness✨? www.nsnews.com/opinion/jack...

Solidarity ✊

From Edgewood, BC to Embrun, Ontario, the way these convoy people overwhelm small rural communities and intimidate local residents into silence is a familiar story: pressprogress.ca/the-convoy-i...

A non-binary person is paid $0.76 (mean)/$0.71 (median) for every dollar paid to a cis man employed by the City of Vancouver. Women are paid $0.52 (mean)/$0.47 (median) for every overtime dollar paid to a cis man employed at the City of Vancouver. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Lindsay Shepherd's latest ✨controversy✨ reminded me that Jorpy P is still alive enough to not be declared deceased. Interesting that Maps of Meaning is being sold as the culmination of his life's work, despite being published in 1999 & containing a dream sequence about his grandma's pubes.

Lindsay Shepherd wrote a truly bonkers "documentary" called Starvation Policy (directed by Keean Bexte, ofc) which argues the government is ruining farms to starve white people (only white people). It features a robust selection of white nationalism & climate change denial.

Mia san mia ♥️

According to Rebel, Tamara Lich will be at Universal Ostrich Farms this weekend. This is a Freedom Convoy cause & has been since Jan 2025 when the farm courted BC Rising. I've been to enough Freedom Convoy events to say without reservation that these events are boring as hell.

Really interesting to see that despite West Van's efforts to limit public transit, public transit is still faster than driving to Ambleside & a bit of Dundarave. Is this the result of bus lanes & priority signalling around Park Royal & the bridge? Does this suggest that bus lanes...work?

North Shore! @bcgeu.bsky.social workers at the Capilano Mall, Westview and Ambleside BC Liquor Stores are on strike but have joined workers picketing at the Caufield liquor store. There's also a picket line at the Park Royal liquor store. Solidarity with BCGEU!

Congratulations, Emily!

1/ I don’t want to use the term “cult” lightly, but I don’t know what to call the Universal Ostrich Farms situation other than “cult” these days. I hesitate to share their claims because the followers themselves are so bad at facts but one thing they can’t hide is the bullying campaign.

The CPC candidate in question is Tamara Jansen, MP for Cloverdale-Langley City. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Police are at the ostrich farm. No one has been a less reliable source than the farm's crew of livestreamers. Total strangers are dealing with rabid online mobs as a result of bad or misleading info shared by the farm. www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna...

Universal Ostrich Farms expects that the cull will happen tonight or tomorrow.

Rustad: "I'd love to see the centre-right come together..." Rustad has more to gain by painting himself as the reasonable middle-ground option compared to OneBC. But "ideology mingling" includes preventing trans kids from playing sports with their friends & platforming all kinds of conspiracies.
