Good job New Brunswick! @davidebybc.bsky.social @dianagibson.bsky.social @evansolomon.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social Please take note! We don’t need to ban this crappy website, but we don’t need the government to use it either!

Wtf CBC. More ads than opening ceremonies. This is utterly shameless from our public broadcaster. There are scheduled ad breaks for broadcasters but the CBC still cramming full volume ads in the middle of a live performance.

23% of Americans want their State to separate from the USA. Alberta is polling at 19% wanting to separate. It's less separatist than: Alaska, Hawaii, Washington Montana, Idaho, California, Nevada, Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana, New York.......

As we continue to discuss police resources, I keep thinking about what happened on my street this past summer. (Police say man arrested was sitting inside car reportedly stolen.)

MAGA Energy… what’s more MAGA than a failing energy business that doesn’t pay its bills?

Appealing directly to American voters is a good idea, but video would be much more effective. If we expect to sway Trump voters with charts that require them to have the ability to read, we are cooked.

Brilliant video from @ardenenglish.bsky.social explaining why right on red is so dangerous for pedestrians, and why BC should get rid of it. Please watch! youtu.be/AqDV13zzMao?...

“We’ve asked for about four or five years now to get a crossing light put in. The city always comes back with ‘We can only do 10 maximum a year.’" The bad news is with ABC's budget cuts, that pace will be even slower. Ken Sim and ABC are failing to keep Vancouver residents safe.

Everyone's talking about BC's "spending problem" but here's what they're not telling you: we're spending the SAME share of GDP as 1998, but collecting far less revenue. BC's deficit isn't about overspending. My analysis: vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e... #bcpoli

I often think about what would happen if my building was rezoned and I was forced to move (I’d be fucked). I’m not against more density and making it easier to build more homes, but we need greater protection for tenants. This opinion piece hits close to home. dailyhive.com/vancouver/va...

The largest professional organization of scholars studying genocide said Monday that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

ANOTHER pedestrian is dead on this exact same stretch of Lougheed. When is enough enough? Do these cities and the province care at all? It sure doesn't look like it. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/08/31/m...

Fuck this puritanical horse shit. Is there any evidence that kids are being harmed by reading a sexually explicit passage in a book? Would love it if the Alberta UCP could explain what problem this book banning spree is solving? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Wow. This is extremely suspicious behaviour by VPD leadership. And excellent persistent reporting. Give it a read, and also does anyone know how to apply public pressure onto them to comply with FOIs? Write to police board and AG?

Support your public library. Defend your public library. Slay the enemies of your public library.

It's kind of amazing how much of an unforced error by the Liberals forcing them back to work was Truly shooting yourselves in the foot for no reason

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Canadians can’t claim to have a “full democracy” either, as long as we both use FPTP to vote. If a party can win a majority with less than half the votes, if voters feel pressured to vote strategically, if votes in the suburbs are worth more than votes in the city, that’s not a full democracy.

Even if you don’t care about the environment (you should!) the reckless extraction and export of an important and finite resource should make you very concerned. #canpoli

Step by step through the obvious fascist authoritarian playbook, as everyone paying attention predicted. And yet still the US media and other deniers and enablers minimize, normalize, and distract. WHY ISN’T EVERYONE WHO’S STILL SANE SCREAMING ABOUT THIS?

The Liberals ran in the most recent election on a promise to increase CBC funding by $150M. Now they are asking the CBC to find savings of up to 15%. And it’s not just the CBC. The government wants to cut $28 Billion in public service spending… 1/4

🚨B.C. is listening!🚨 The all-party committee on electoral reform wants your input. Think every vote should count? Speak up for proportional representation! Submit your feedback by July 25 at 2 PM PT: consultation-portal.leg.bc.ca/consultation...

Taxing the super-rich—less than 1% of Canadians—could fund affordable homes, schools, hospitals, transit and green energy: new research by senior economist @1alexhemingway.bsky.social‬. A wealth tax could raise half a trillion dollars for a stronger, fairer Canada he says. bcpolicy.ca/wealth-tax

#showerthoughts Carney’s doublespeak on pipelines has me a bit concerned.

Tracks and trails on Vancouver Island please! This is exactly the kind of infrastructure project that we should be investing in! As a mainlander who loves being a tourist on the island, not needing to take a car on the ferry makes the experience so much better. youtu.be/gg4k51N4n7k?...

New poll shows 58% of Canadians want proportional representation in federal elections. Millennials lead the charge at 67%, while even 49% of Boomers support the change. It's time to listen to the people and make every vote count! #cdnpoli

Separated bike lanes protect drivers from my wrath. #SafeStreetsSaveLives #VisionZero #ElbowsUp

I feel like this news in Alberta has flown completely under the radar thanks to all the talk about western alienation. I don’t think that even the most conservative Albertans were clamouring to bring back corporate donations to their politics. Who asked for this? www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7522144

The @ndp.ca hold the balance of power. @mark-carney.bsky.social says he's open to electoral reform. And a citizens' assembly on electoral reform has been official @liberalca.bsky.social policy since their 2023 convention. What are we waiting for? Let’s end first-past-the-post now! #Election2025

The typical Canadian has a higher standard of living than the typical American. We are healthier, live 3 years longer, face much less inequality and are happier. These outcomes are not accidents. They reflect deliberate policy choices.” @jimbostanford.bsky.social on Canada’s GDP per capita:

Very proud and a bit nervous to share About Here’s latest video “The Housing Tax Crisis” with @smallhousing.bsky.social. This script took months of research and a bit of me losing my mind but I think it ultimately tells a profound story about our housing crisis today. youtu.be/ZEUR9bj89lo

Every policy that Pierre is proposing makes Canada more like the USA. Defunding the CBC, scrapping environmental protections, attacking “woke” universities, loosening gun restrictions… the list goes on! #MapleMAGA is coming for our Canadian identity. #cdnpoli #elbowsup #never51

There's a lot of talk about Canada Geese and whether they're good and my answer is Yes.

“Why should I be worried about climate change when I can’t afford a home?” Climate disasters are destroying more homes every year. Displacing people, reducing housing supply and making housing and insurance more expensive.

Peterson is probably Canada’s most embarrassing cultural export of all time. No surprise that he is pals with Pierre Poillievre. Their MAGA adjacent anti-woke crusade has no place in Canadian politics. #cdnpoli #canadianelection2025 #mapleMAGA #elbowsup

Trump says Pierre’s not his friend anymore …but Trump is a notorious liar. He knows his endorsements are the kiss of death in Canada. Make no mistake, Pierre Poillievre is a friend of the far right. #cdnpoli #ElbowsUp #pierrepoillievre

A tendency to do this more than the Americans is one of the many reasons Canada is a better place to live. It’s our patriotic duty to #TaxTheRich and fund our public services. #cdnpoli #ElbowsUp

Premier Danielle Smith visited the University of Alberta Faculty of Law today. 👀 Lawyers and future lawyers know that Bill 26 and the UCP’s anti-trans bills are regressive, unconstitutional, and just plain wrong. And they had a message for her today. 👏

Our transit system is already stretched to the limit! We can't tolerate a 50% cut in bus service. These images were sent to us, showing an overcrowded bus where a mom with a stroller was turned away in the rain. Our communities deserve better.

We must have the courage to Bring Back Kennedy Stewart’s Road Tax

Decisions about transit funding are being made behind closed doors right now, but we can still make our voices heard if we unite!

Americans aren’t paying attention to the existential threat Trump poses to Canada because they are preoccupied with the existential threat Trump poses to America #cdnpoli #1814burningofwashington #trump #elbowsup

Proportional representation doesn’t just change how many seats a party wins, but where. Whether you're a Liberal in rural Alberta or a Conservative in downtown Toronto, you get the representation you vote for. That's why we love PR-it bridges our divides. #cdnpoli
