Hey babe. Got you this jewelry for our anniversary. It’s surveillance so I can always be staring down your shirt at your boobs. And monitor all your biometrics. No I’m not creep babe, why would you think that?

Oolichan oil, not Alberta crude.

BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) - Divided appeals court panel rules Trump administration policy illegally banned transgender troops from military service.

Breaking News: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth blocked the promotions of at least seven Navy officers in a move that targeted women and minority officers.

I think, and I know how good Garrett is, this is an overpay?

Kerry-Lynne Findlay "The NDP raised taxes and let crime and chaos spread. They pushed radical ideology in our schools, and took away your freedoms, and now maybe even your home. The BC Liberals are no different." I think choosing her says a lot about where our politics in B.C. have always been.

KLF says she welcomes all votes. Anyone wanting to vote for her is welcome to do so.

Not looking forward to two years of debate as to who the "real racists" are in BC politics.

This guy. Such a hard worker unlike the surrounding commies he sees e everywhere.

Whether Findlay can hold the current Conservative tent together into the next election is an open question I would not be surprised to see the current caucus fracture in the coming months

cheknews.ca/b-c-world-cu... The World Cup is going to cost $730M to host The Whitecaps are apparently valued at roughly $600M Canadians If promoting soccer is our goal, we could have bought the Whitecaps and turned them into a publicly-owned asset, and still had $130M left over.

The BC NDP are happy campers tonight With the right flank of the centre-right party beating out the centrists and moderates, voters will have two very different paths to choose come the next election www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

I’m at the BC Conservatives leadership vote results and the first ballot is in. From 5th to 1st place: Peter Milobar, Yuri Fulmer, Iain Black, Caroline Elliot and in first place Kerry Lynn Findlay. #bcpoli

Kerry-Lynne Findlay is the new leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia.

‘Some of them have little souls’: B.C. man transforms discarded objects into creative characters

It’s not a “big driver”; for this round, it’s the ONLY driver. The planet would currently be cooling if it weren’t for human emissions. science.nasa.gov/climate-chan...

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Mildly unhinged query to post publicly, but: do I know anyone on here who is a Vancouver-based open water swimmer & might want to swim 2 or 3kms at Jericho Beach after work on Tuesday?

Honestly, gald to see Djokovich gone.

The decision to do away with animal control services altogether is "very rare" for a municipality the size of Dawson Creek — a city of about 12,000 people — said Emma Hamill of the SPCA. "It's leaving a major gap in services," she said. "It's definitely disappointing." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Politicians celebrating the defeat of life-saving healthcare during an overdose crisis is nothing to be proud of. An overdose prevention site IS helping vulnerable people “properly.” The evidence is clear: OPS save lives, reduce public drug use, and connect users to care.

Column! By me! Steven Guilbeault quit politics the same week the activist group Investors for Paris Compliant quit trying to wheedle banks and fossil fuel companies. The master's tools will not reduce the master's emissions ... so climate action is back outside. thenarwhal.ca/steven-guilb...

I didn't note this in my hit, and it's sorta minor, but you can literally go Pacific Centre Mall, Oakridge, Richmond Centre Mall on the Canada Line.

Does the Prime Minister know we have the Internet up here?

Shit, when does the World Cup start? June 12th?

Avi Lewis: "The separation movement in Alberta has no point of comparison with the historic sovereignty movement in Quebec. This is a MAGA aligned, potentially funded, disruptive movement that has been really thrown into national prominence by Danielle Smith."

A wickedly clever post. I remain, as ever, in awe of @carrietait.bsky.social

"What happens to a place when its people no longer have time to love it?" It becomes luxury. Vancouver is luxury. The mountains, the ocean, the parks, Vancouver, that sleepy little port city at the end of the railroad became luxury.

Perhaps the fact that we are conducting an unprecedented experiment with the only home we have, by digging up and burning massive amounts of fossil fuels that is driving global change at rates 10X faster than the most recent warming of this magnitude that occurred oh about 55 million years ago? 🧐

Majority of Albertans would vote to stay in Canada, find Smith's handling poor: poll www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Pete Hoekstra: You've got folks who are doing everything they can to get the Canadian public to rally against America. Just doesn't make any sense. Radio-Canada: But do you understand where that frustration is coming from? Hoekstra: Absolutely, no.

As rumours swirl that Steven Guilbeault is leaving Liberals caucus, it should be noted that there is a faction of Liberals unhappy with Carney's environmental direction.

Vancouver says camping overnight in parks will still be allowed during #WorldCup". Gee. Thanks for nothing Ken Sim. #Unhoused can shelter overnight in city parks cuz of a 2015 B.C. Supreme Court ruling (Abbotsford (City v. Shantz) & neither Vancouver nor #FIFA can override it.

Not fake news. But imposter news.

Here is a question a lot of people are asking: Are we going through a great environmental regression?

"On its website, the city itself estimates that nearly 60 per cent of the carbon pollution generated in Vancouver was due to burning natural gas for space and water heating."

Jesus. What's happening in Alberta?

Now, imagine if we took the same societal approach to drugs that we do cigarettes.
