A Christmas tragedy in one photo. The whole family spent all week working on this 1500-piece puzzle. Turns out we only had 1498 pieces.

Genuinely asking reporters to read our style guide, language makes a difference visionzerovancouver.ca/media-style-...

These are the things I hope we’ll someday look back on with the same incredulity, from most to least likely: -burning gas inside our homes -driving giant vehicles everywhere with little meaningful restriction -killing sentient animals for our taste preferences

Environmental risks may contribute to doctor shortages in communities on the frontlines of fossil fuel extraction, say CAPE doctors. https://loom.ly/IzOgvYU

The National Water Prediction Service is forecasting 18 major floods and 15 moderate floods in our state.  Catastrophic flooding is likely. Please pay close attention to local officials and sign up for emergency alerts with your county. Find a list here: mil.wa.gov/alerts

5 people have been killed on the roads in Metro Vancouver in the last week, including a driver, a cyclist, and 3 pedestrians, one of whom was a young child. Each of them had lives, families and friends, aspirations and potential that will not be realized. Each of them could have been me, or you.

July 2024 after a string of fatal crashes: "It's the summer weather." December 2025 after a string of fatal crashes: "It's the winter weather." I don't know maybe our road design just isn't safe?

Srinivas is a critical care physician looking after kids. The number of kids injured in car violence is too high. Awful to tell families. Especially hard because all these are preventable. Passing this would be a sign that this council cares about kids in this city.

Lime has finally expanded its scooter share program into my neighbourhood and I’m so excited! This might be my new fave way to get around. I took an extra kid to soccer practice today, so we took an Evo there. But since it was just me on the way home, I switched to a scooter. So fun and convenient!

Vancouver Council votes tomorrow on a motion to ban right turns on red at Vancouver’s most dangerous intersections. It would make things much safer for people walking, biking, and rolling — and the deadline to send comments or sign up to speak is in less than an hour. Send your comments now!

Rainway Sketching something similar to the St. George rainway on Lakewood Street (next to Secord elementary) given the amount of traffic that flows through there while we’re biking to and from school… i’ve been imagining a Rainway running from the top of the hill all the way to Trout Lake.

For someone who hates socialism he sure loves being publicly owned

Today, despite hundreds of people speaking and thousands writing in opposition, Vancouver's Mayor and his ABC majority on council passed their "zero means zero" budget, which freezes property taxes for those fortunate enough to own homes at the expense of everyone else. 1/

Safety is important for scooter users but the biggest hazard is drivers. Any public safety messaging about road safety should lead with this fact, and public safety dollars should go toward automatic speed enforcement. Money from fines used to build separated bike lanes.

Sign the letter, Vancouver!

was on the radio today responding to @petermeiszner.bsky.social's explanation for why the city is removing 5% of change tables in civic spaces. the TL;DR is even parents & babies in "highly vandalized areas" deserve essential facilities. listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/7eot...

Over 600 people signed up to speak to Vancouver council on the proposed 2026 budget, demanding transparency & protections for health, climate safety, & community wellbeing. Sign your name to the open letter from CAPE BC & our friends at @cane-bc.bsky.social & @womentcities.bsky.social !

Exciting news - I’m seeking the mayoral nomination with @OneCityVan! 1 / 5 youtu.be/2MTf7QmcEpc

Canada is pouring billions into LNG megaprojects while the rest of the world moves on. This CleanTechnica piece shows how public money is propping up fossil exports instead of building the clean, resilient economy we actually need.

This resident is objecting to the new Lime scooter station because - not a joke - it's "ruining her view." This is what we're up against when we push for more micromobility. vancouversun.com/news/east-va...

Today is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. One of our volunteers @margiesanderson.bsky.social spent the morning postering locations where pedestrians have been killed this year in Vancouver alone.

Seattle mayor-elect (almost) Katie Wilson, welcome to The War on Cars.

"I'm concerned that by cutting environmental programs, we're mortgaging our future," said @lucymaloney.bsky.social, a councillor with OneCity. That includes the city's commitment to fight climate change & improve residents' ability to adapt to climate disasters like extreme heat & wildfire smoke.

hey do you know Phil E. Buster sign up to speak

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.

Have you cancelled your Spotify account yet? If the ICE recruitment ads aren’t enough to convince you, just a reminder that they pay their artists like shit and their CEO invests millions in AI drone weaponry. @qobuz.bsky.social is a great alternative.

We're incredibly disappointed in this outcome; this should have been an easy win for the safety of our children. Our response: visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/10/29/h...

🤔

The ABC members of Vancouver Council really said "f*** them kids" today. First, they killed a motion to make it safer for kids to trick or treat in their neighbourhoods on Halloween - the most dangerous night of the year for child pedestrians - by making it easier to close streets to car traffic.

Halloween is the most dangerous night of the year for kids walking outside: ten times higher risk of being hit by a driver. Our kids deserve better. Support @lucymaloney.bsky.social 's “Safe Streets for Trick or Treats” motion coming to Vancouver council next week. 1/2

New research: Meat consumption in US cities has a "carbon hoofprint" equivalent to the emissions from all US domestic fossil fuel burning - "reducing food waste and dietary shifts (eg more chicken, less beef) could halve emissions" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

After years as a daily Spotify user, I finally switched to Qobuz. Between low artist pay, fake/AI “artists,” platforming hate speech, running recruitment ads for ICE, & the CEO’s AI weapons investments, I couldn’t justify staying any longer. Qobuz is great so far; consider making the switch!

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.

Large turnout today in support of traffic calming on 16th. People shouldn't fear for their safety in their own neighbourhood. Now it's time for the city to act. Thank you @lucymaloney.bsky.social and @seanorr.bsky.social for attending and speaking in support.

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Is meat the new oil? Five lessons from fossil fuel governance for industrial meat governance By @cleoverk.bsky.social www.sei.org/perspectives...

If you’re free tomorrow night, consider coming out for this event!

With everything else going on, the Tylenol “announcement” may seem minor. But it’s not. The Trump admin’s lies about acetaminophen are part of the same agenda: controlling women’s bodies, demonizing them, and making them suffer needlessly. A policy of intentional cruelty and othering.

Nations’ plans to ramp up coal, gas and oil extraction ‘will put climate goals beyond reach’

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Under the UNFCC Canada is not responsible for the downstream combustion emissions of the fossil fuels we export. So we conveniently ignore them (as in Ksi Lisims Assessment and BC and fed announcements today), though those GHGs are more than Canada's territorial emissions to the global atmosphere.

Don’t give money to companies that obey fascists in advance.

'“We recognize that LNG facilities, along with natural gas pipelines...has deeply affected Indigenous communities & ways of life, & that Ksi Lisims LNG will contribute to cumulative effects on ecosystems & communities,” [Tamara Davidson & Adrian Dix] wrote.' But we're gonna approve it anyway!

Carney is privileging those supporting fossil fuels, while violating the standard of FPIC for those who do not. Nations who oppose LNG will be subjected to costly legal battles and militarized police violence, while Canada invests in a dwindling LNG market and risks being stranded in a global glut.

They’re doubling down and claiming ignorance. Send them an email and call them out! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Just a few hours until tonight’s event on the health + Indigenous rights impacts of LNG & fracking in BC. Hear from Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, Dr. Ulrike Meyer, Gitxsan Firekeepers Drew Harris & Grace Vickers, Dene Ze’ Na’Moks & more. 7pm @ UBC MSAC in Mount Pleasant. RSVP if you haven’t yet!

One way to help keep that number from going up would be to stop expanding the LNG industry. LNG is a fossil fuel with warming potential equal to or greater than coal. And the BC NDP are all-in on its expansion.
