@slownotempo.bsky.social truly made me forget about the world today, except for that one song. They had a big program, they can sing, and they're funny. I liked the pace, the arrangements, and their voices together! Thank you, fellows! 🎶 #Kamloops

Members of the Iranian community in #Kamloops were out this afternoon as news filtered in about Ali Khamenei's now confirmed death in a major attack launched by Israel and the United States. More @cfjctoday.bsky.social in the days ahead.

I can't with our council!!! "they're coming from other places, other provinces". Let's run with this nonsense for a second! So should the federal gov't ensure that housing is available EVERYWHERE in the country? Should "they" have housing and healthcare wherever they are?

Folks, why would we need a classroom the same time as after school childcare? 🚩 www.castanetkamloops.net/news/Kamloop... “Because we can’t be in a situation where we’re trying to put in a before and after school care space only to realize we need a classroom two years down the road,” #Kamloops #SD73

Looking at last year's Kamloops-Thompson school board agendas and seeing how Rhonda buried a motion in a report after bullshit catchment consultations in which they decided that kids in gr's 8-9-10 going into 9-10-11 will be enrolled in a different high school Sep 2026. but emotional well being!!!!

My thoughts as a parent in the district right now. Some principals didn't even bother sending out an email. Some principals sent out caring emails but didn't tell parents how the students were supported when they walked in this morning.

The soft corruption of handing out private contracts without the modicum of management ability required to oversee said contracts.

It's that time again... The legislative session starts on Thursday with the government's throne speech 📜 The speech will start around 2PM, per the media advisory There are a few options for watching it online: www.leg.bc.ca/parliamentar... #bcpoli

Budget 2026 drops on Feb 17 and then the legislative session will be in full swing I'm expecting my main focus will be on the government's planned amendments to the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act but there will also be estimates debates and other legislation to keep an eye on 👀

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions. Then covered it up again when caught. Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Canadians deserve to know what people seeking power say and do. We can't allow powerful interests to use enormous lawsuits to punish journalists and make future reporting riskier for everyone. That is why we launched the Journalism Defence Fund. broadbentinstitute.ca/defend-canad...

“This morning, I spoke to a really senior adviser to Pierre Poilievre, and he said that it took him all hell’s work to convince Pierre to finally take up anti-immigration status. And that’s happening”

Wonder what folks at Colombo Lodge think of all this. 🤮

And he wasn’t just bragging – he was previously involved in Indy Panchi’s Conservative campaign in New Westminster. He advised that Canadians aren’t ready to accept mass deportations – so operatives have to be stealthy. His example was Project 2025. 3/5

The point of the call was to talk about how to move from “poster” power to actual political power. Othman Mekhloufi, whose racist posts led to the breakup of OneBC, bragged of contacts inside the fed. Conservatives & claimed to have worked for the BC Conservatives. 2/5 thetyee.ca/News/2026/02...

Programs like this one are what "nation building" actually looks like. And it only cost $1.5 million. Don't worry, though, surely that money will be better spent on a border guard searching for all that fentanyl Canadians ship to the US. #cdnpoli

This is so disappointing 🙁 Archives make up a huge part of so much of my research as an archaeologist. They're invaluable resources and there should be far *more* funding put towards their preservation, not less.
