Renters are being gouged by corporate landlords with rent hikes of 30%, 40%—even 50%. Canadians can’t wait years for affordability. We need national vacancy control now to stop profiteering and protect renters. #cdnpoli #HousingCrisis

Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military. If this scares the shit out of you, please let them know:

“[AI is] not a good knockoff. The ultimate goal is never to be as good as the art — the goal is to be good enough to get on the page, get the consumer to use it, and get rid of the worker.” —Molly Crabapple, artist

A single Vancouver police officer made $397,258 last year, making $239,258 in overtime on top of their base pay of up to $158,000. This is the wildest FOI I've seen in a long time. Well done Liam Britten for digging this up. #CBC www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada. "Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Just $6.67 per day is what the Liberals say people with disabilities can live off of. When was the last time Mark Carney spent less than $6.67 on a single meal? As it stands, the CDB is insultingly insufficient for eliminating poverty among people with disabilities.

"where colour weaves and line wanders" 24"X 18" hand dyed and woven cotton, Flashe 2025 focus on interplay between structure and spontaneity - where the controlled act of weaving meets gestural painting

My favourite flowering trees are in bloom.

We’ve made it over the halfway mark of the federal election campaign! How exciting! Just in time for a creepy little trend to emerge: people rolled up to a recent Poilievre rally wearing hoodies with the question: do you believe the polls? Oh, and Nardwuar has made an appearance 👀

Work in progress paper sculpture. I love this sunshine colour palette.

Thank you, Danny!

Making my own sunshine in the studio today. #paperart #paperplay #art

The more I think about Vancouver’s byelection lines, the more I think it’s a perfect example of how municipal staff fail. They tripled the budget for planning, talked about how great they were for doing all sorts of fancy extra initiatives. And mostly ignored the main thing voters rely on.

By Evan Dyer CBC. This is highly problematic.

Vancouver's municipal by-election is today, 8am to 8pm, at 25 locations around the city. Remind your friends, family members, and colleagues that voting day is happening, and they need to show up. Voting locations can be found here: vancouver.ca/election/202...
