Worst merger decision in Canadian history is allowing Roger's to buy SHAW - now considering mobile division to a US equity firm, and shutting down vital news radio across the country RIP News 1130 Vancouver Fuck monopolies #CDNpoli #BCpoli

Hoping Belgium obliterate USA this evening #FIFA #WorldCup

Hearing the pipeline announcement yesterday, my first thought was “oh boy, we’re in for another few years of protests” Looks like others had the same reaction www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

That boat seems far too small for 10 people, and the operators had a run in with Fisheries and Oceans for illegal fishing Seems like an unsafe, unlicensed cowboy operation #BCpoli vancouversun.com/news/vessel-...

one of the worst boating disasters in recent BC history, and yet the lack of information is excruciating - which charter? who are the missing? how did the vessel just disappear? why call off the search so soon? why aren't the survivors speaking? #BCpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Intense air and vessel search for 6 people still missing in the waters off Vancouver airport and Sea Island, 4 people rescued - no word on how 10 people ended up that far out in the straight without lifejackets This is air search and exclusion zone

When PP starts making sense you know the Liberals and NDP have completely lost the plot #CDNpoli #BCpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Back to back big earthquakes in Venezuela, buildings collapsed in Caracas, tsunami alert for the Caribbean apnews.com/article/vene...

A must-read Mainlander Mag article on the failure of the 3 "progressive" Vancouver parties (COPE, Greens & OneCity) to protect tenants. Like me, it's also scathing about their attempt to negotiate an anti-Ken Sim coalition. Why all these mistakes? 🧵 themainlander.com/2026/06/18/a... #vanpoli

The meme that keeps on giving...

Sorry, but WTAF?!! #BCpoli globalnews.ca/news/1190912...

My god I am livid they are even considering new dams - Site C was a project disaster costing billions more than planned, and still potentially precarious with slippage, plus of course drought Geothermal, far cheaper firm power #BCpoli #CDNpoli www.cjdctv.com/news/article...

so hot in Nanaimo the deck steamed when I watered the plants at 8:30pm - still 30C outside - hope the city and province have cooling stations open #BCstorm #BCpoli

To the RCMP and FIFA - running military helos low over Vancouver 1: no one is going to riot (unless it's RW asshats) 2: a helo won't stop anything, in fact has been proven to inflame situations 3: it's fucking annoying everyone 4: what a fucking waste of time and money Stop it #BCpoli #CDNpoli

and this - the answer is the platforms have to act under government regulations, not forcing us to comply with basically ID theft news.un.org/en/story/202...

This is a public health nightmare "Key insight: Long Covid patients must absolutely not donate blood, because it appears to be transmissible via those autoantibodies in the blood!" www.healthrising.org/blog/2026/06...

This is going to be so embarrassing when the cameras pan over half empty stadiums #FIFA #WorldCup www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Carney shine is wearing off - he is yelling at caucus, had to backtrack on fast tracking energy (fossil) projects over environmental concerns, and getting massive pushback over the internet security bill Only high in approval as PP is a far worse dipshit #CDNpoli www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

A final fun fact: By 2021 when I was being pretty horribly attacked on a daily basis for being a public epidemiologist, the truly nastiest ones ... were physicians. For real. They *aggressively* defend faulty foundational knowledge to protect their authority. Fixing this won't come easy. 10/10

OMG no... this is so sad. I knew Raul really well, guest lectured his poli-sci/comms classes for years when he was a prof at UBC - such a fun, smart, warm person who really engaged with his students

oh hell no.... #CDNpoli #BCpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Findlay won the BC Con leadership race, they chose dumb - she's so Trumpian makes Dallas Brodie and OneBC look moderate #BCpoli #CDNpoli

To mark the exact anniversary of Habitat '76, I'll lead an impromptu short walking tour of the old Habitat Forum site at Jericho Beach tomorrow, Sunday May 31, 3 pm—meet at the entrance to the Sailing Centre. Join for a celebratory drink/snack at the Sailing Centre grill after! Note: uneven ground

appears the Iran negotiations are going bigly....

this is just screwed, when I was in the Coast Guard detailed and immediate local weather radar was essential, same for ground SAR crews Seriously regretting my vote for the Libs and Carney, he is tearing apart services, Stephen Harper must be smiling #CDNpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is a gross, blatantly racist hate crime - truly hope the perpetrators are outed, and charged And betting whoever it is has direct and influential connections with the BC Cons and Dallas Brodie types #BCpoli www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

poli types simply don't know what is about to hit them over the false promises of AI, and what data centers will do to destroy communities, water, energy We are awake, and hate this shit #BCpoli #CDNpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

For anyone who needs a list of reasons why people like Dr. Bonnie Henry are uniquely unsuited and ill-equipped to stop the spread of another deadly virus, here she is in her own words: youtu.be/nlNp0la57vE

We've reached peak absurdity 'The league says medical assessment determined the symptoms of the ill players or staff "are not consistent with hantavirus." www.cbc.ca/sports/hocke...

Hanta virus incubation is well known to potentially take 40 days - WHO recommendation, isolate exposed people at least that time period UK, France, Spain - 42 days Greece 45 days Here in British Columbia, Bonnie Henry, 25 days because, she's a precious, arbitrary, proven idiot #HantaVirus

Oh hell, just NO to this It's grossly Stupid policy - regulate the platforms, not the kids #BCpoli cheknews.ca/rob-shaw-b-c...

I hate this - won't work, kids will always find a way to access (just look at Australia), and it avoids the main issue anyway - regulate to avoid harm to all #CDNpoli #AI www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

shots fired at the White House Correspondent's Dinner - Trump and cabinet rushed out - shooter apparently dead #USpoli

what Tara Armstrong spoke into the BC legislature Hansard record is one of the grossest, racist, fascist rants ever - she needs to be kicked out by the Speaker - that cannot stand #BCpoli

Can America not do plumbing anymore? The toilets don't work on either their state-of-the-art warship the USS Ford or the Artemis spacecraft Remember when Marcel Duchamp said "The only works of art America has given are her plumbing and her bridges"?

Waiting for Apple and Google maps to rename Hormuz to The Fuckin' Straight as fast as they renamed the Gulf of Mexico You KNOW it's going to happen

The medical system's stubborn adherence to the idea viruses like Covid are spread by "droplets" & not true airborne will eventually look as befuddled as treating patients with bloodletting—if our species survives long enough for that. But they'd all have to admit they've been wrong all along, so...

If you are hiring door-to-door sales people maybe make sure they understand what a very clear and prominent 'No Soliciting' sign means - like don't go any further To the dude who got freaked out by our dog, and some creative swearing by me - not sorry Fuck off Telus #BCpoli #Telus
