Every day is a new fresh hell, but at least we know for certain that there are no aliens at Area 51. If this government had proof about extraterrestrial life, they'd have already posted it online.

Yikes #bced !! It's time to stop placing blame on the pandemic and iPhones and actually invest in our children's education in BC. media.vsb.bc.ca/media/Defaul...

B.C. schools at funding 'crunch point' as districts cut millions from budgets Education spending never recovered from the BC Liberal and remains below early 2000 levels

Whoa! VSB has spent $9.35M on lawyers to fight the French school board in court. That is, the BC government is spending millions to sue itself, probably $10s of millions. Great reporting by @loriculbert.bsky.social; worth it for the photos alone!

Police have released photos of two individuals believed to be involved in the security incident at my office on June 27. Anyone who can help identify the suspects is asked to call North Vancouver RCMP at 236-481-9100, quoting file number 25-13204. More info: nvan.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ViewPage.act...

For anyone who follows VSB planning and enrolment forecasts in Vancouver, you may be interested in the latest Facility Planning report (see page 32 onwards). For the first time ever they are looking outside of their own 'black box' forecasting models. #bced #bcpoli media.vsb.bc.ca/media/Defaul... G

School districts across B.C. are facing multimillion-dollar shortfalls that require dipping into district savings and in some cases cutting services, supports and programs in schools, to balance their budgets. By @kehyslop.bsky.social thetyee.ca/News/2025/05...

at first you think "ah the dog is passively having fun" and then you realize the dog knows how to steer the skateboard and THEN you learn the dog knows how to PROPEL the skateboard

What is the job of a school board trustee if not reading emails from interest holders and being responsive to them? One ABC trustee in @vsb39.bsky.social decided to treat advocacy emails from over 200 parents/caregivers as “spam”, and to post his grievance on X, compromising parent privacy.

With CBC now having called all ridings it's time for the land-vs-people-vote animation.

Is this an American fellow discovering Chantel Hebert? 😂

If you know someone who was victim in Saturday’s vehicle attack and would like them memorialized in The Globe, please reach out. We’re working today to do just that.

Random question. Why do I say graph when everyone else online seems to use the word 'chart'? For context I'm Gen X born and raised in Canada.

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

Okay, let's do this: AMA about the "dire" wolf study. Note: I wasn't involved in the project and have no ties to Colossal. I'm a paleoecologist with expertise on Pleistocene extinctions and their impacts, and the role ice age megafauna played in their ecosystems. I also research rewilding.

When you read this article, keep in mind that the Vancouver SD underspent their 2023/24 inclusive ed budget by $2.8 MILLION dollars, while disabled kids were: denied EAs, denied SLP support services, given iPads as babysitters in class, etc. VSD rolled that money back into their general accounts.

Online surveys are an easier way to get public input on school board budgets. But how questions are worded can be read as offensive. via me & @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/04...

The first time I tried with my family and my parents. No-one told me (or my senior parents) that we could have advanced the line. There weren’t any signs until we were inside, at which point, my kids had hit a wall. 90 mins of trying, no success.

I've cracked the code of why byelection lineups are so long in Vancouver today. It's not just a turnout question. Compared to the 2017 byelection, the city decreased the number of election workers by EIGHTY PERCENT. From 1,250 in 2017 to 250 this time around. This was a staff recommendation.

Something very big is happening. The Fuck Trudeau flags are being replaced. This is in Alberta.

Piano roll of “Laura Palmer’s Theme” from Twin Peaks. The visual representation of two mountain peaks in the music was a “cosmic” coincidence which shocked both Lynch and Badalamenti when they discovered it
