Vancouver's Handling of False Creek South Is Officially a Scandal via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly to promote equal participation of women in STEM fields. Here are the stories of just a few of the great female scientists from Canada's past. 🧵 1/12

I’m going 40 years back and watching Bob Ross. So calming and simple.

The Epstein money trail leads straight to 45*! 45* sent FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE (4725) wire transfers to Jeffrey Epstein. They totaled over $1.1 billion. 😱

This story barely got any mention today, which is crazy because it's a sign of just how broken the RCMP really is.

Our EIC Dave Beers - and also the founder of @thetyee.ca - is retiring (for real this time lol). We're looking for a new EIC - please share in your #journalism circles! thetyee.ca/Tyeenews/202...

Vancouver staff told council that if it rezoned land so a developer could build a big tower, the developer would spend $6 million on making the surrounding area nice. The city’s auditor general found that didn’t happen, and that staff basically shrugged their shoulders about it.

It’s true and it’s gotten worse.

Local cat thinks she’s better than you and is probably right

Vancouver councillor Pete Fry has announced he’s running for mayor. Here’s my interview with him on his candidacy, priorities, and the current state of the race. And we’ve got a BONUS FRIDAY podcast episode with him coming out today as well.

There will be two protests today against B.C.-based companies who are doing business with ICE. The first at Hootsuite's HQ in Mount Pleasant starting at 3:00; the second in front of the Pattison Group's office downtown.

After vulnerable women in Vancouver were preyed upon for years by a serial killer, we held an inquiry & funded services to try to better protect sex workers. Today, those services are being cut back or disappearing altogether. Please read this important reporting from @michellegamage.bsky.social

C'mon, journalists & writers - Be Loud about this injustice today! @cwebbonline.com

Write your MP and the Minister of Public Safety. A parliamentary inquiry is needed.

"Clockwork Orange" but with a modest payday.

I’m not sure how much notice this has received but the Assembly of First Nations in Canada has issued a travel advisory for the United States after reports that Indigenous people are being increasingly questioned and detained by ICE. www.instagram.com/p/DT-_SacDEH...

HAPPENING NOW: Hanover County in Virginia unanimously opposes sale of warehouse property owned by Vancouver-based Jim Pattison Developments to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be used as holding and processing facility. The local gov can't veto it, but hopes DHS will reconsider. Story to come

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

In 1922, insulin co-discoverer Frederick Banting refused to profit from the discovery and offered it to the world as a global public good. Today, many people with diabetes still don't have access to affordable and quality treatment and care.

We are now 40 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

There is a new clinical trial that is recruiting for vulvodynia. This is a woefully under-researched aspect of women's care. Please help me spread the word. vajenda.substack.com/p/vulvodynia...

Man who wouldn’t wear mask to protect people fine wearing mask to shoot them

I started contacting The Pattison Grp on Sunday and kept reaching out on Monday and I have to say It's a little disappointing they didn't bother to respond. I have included a response from Pattison Food Group to a complaint from Victoria resident @jstewgie.bsky.social thetyee.ca/News/2026/01...

Save the date!

According to Environment Canada #Vancouver overnight low dipped to -4.2°C by 4am & current wind chill is -5°. @cityofvancouver.bsky.social warming centre at Odd Fellows Hall 1443 W 8th should've opened - as OF warming centre page says: "when temp. or “feels like” temp. reaches -4°C or below."

What I cannot understand is how any US policemen can be allowed to be: 1. Masked 2. Without name plates 3. Armed. To anybody knowing European history this sounds like Hitler's brownshirts, also known as Sicherheitsabteilung (SA).

'Portland Loos' coming to Gastown, Downtown Eastside at cost of $1.3M

Please do not hesitate to fuck all the way off.

Congress scholar here. This is good advice.

Have you noticed headlights getting brighter? It's not just in your head. We're excited to see @seanorr.bsky.social's motion at Council this week to take action on this issue. LED and HID headlights are increasingly popular, not to mention oversized vehicles with high nose heights...

TODAY!!! 👇👇👇 #PRESSFREEDOM

Renee Good committed gender insubordination: she didn't cower & grovel to male authority. Many women are killed for the very same reason all over the world. We just call it by the euphemism "domestic violence" instead of what it is: a campaign of political terrorism in which any man can participate.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

I need to figure out what I’m going to wear to the couch on New Year’s Eve

This is a metaphor for the tech industry overall circa 2025

Christmas reminder: MAGA-style politics thrive on outrage, loyalty tests, and attacking the press. That’s why some Conservatives keep going after CBC. Not because it’s perfect, but because it won’t kneel, fetch, or turn journalism into propaganda. Canada needs watchdogs, not lapdogs. Save the CBC

FAFO

You can get a $5 IPA at a Goldeneyes game. Looking h at you Rogers Arena.

I don't mean to amplify the garbage .... but also I really need to stress here once again that KIDS DON'T GET LOWER SURGERY. That doesn't happen!!! All of these government officials are obsessed with talking about HYPOTHETICAL CHILD GENITALS

Every winter, thousands don’t die *from* the flu — they die *because* of it. Flu infections can trigger heart attacks and strokes. A flu shot isn’t just protection from a virus — it’s protection for your heart. ❤️💉 #HeartHealth #PublicHealth #Vaccines #InfluenzaAwareness #MedSky

As Vancouver’s only independent space devoted entirely to lens-based art, Gallery 881 has become a vital cultural hub in Strathcona and a significant voice in the city’s arts landscape. Help them reach their fundraising goal.

Another poison pill buried in Mark Carney’s budget: a repeal of a reduced postage rates for books and shipments between libraries. Libraries across the country are sounding the alarm for what it would mean for the viability of another essential public institution.
