It's been so wet that it is hard to forget that there has been no snow.

Canada for FIVE to start the game against Italy. A dream start and a silencer for the Canadians to begin this mixed doubles curling game agains the host nation. It's 5-0 heading to the send end. My goodness.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

The BC Conservatives continue to be the party of racists, bigots and crackpots. Here’s leadership candidate and BCC MLA Steve Kooner engaging with #MAGA linked crackpot Billboard Chris, who actually crashes events wearing a billboard harassing gay and trans kids. These people are the worst.

This looks bad for summer in the lower mainland.

Its balmy out there, so here are my first BC snow maps of the year! Averaged over the whole province, snowpacks are *currently* just above normal (+2%). ❄️ + to ++ across NE B.C., central Coast, and Interior Ranges ❄️ - to -- in the central Interior and Southern Coast ❄️ --- on Vancouver Island

BREAKING: a trusted source tells me that The Washington Post also laid off the entire team that manages live video, video-on-demand, and *video creators*. What is going on!

Several Toronto police officers arrested in organized crime, corruption probe: source

The City of Vancouver continues to deny there was a media exclusion zone during the April 2023 Hastings decampment. I witnessed this, I made video showing how media were excluded (in this story: thetyee.ca/News/2023/11...) & now a BCHRC report has confirmed there was an exclusion zone.

On Feb 4 last year, it looked like this

Terrible day for many amazing, hard-working, intelligent journalists at the Washington Post. I'm still here and trying to figure out how to best support my colleagues who have lost their jobs. If you feel able to share or contribute, please do: www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t...

this is fucking crazy

“Mark’s okay” Canada Snowboard commenting on their own post about Mark McMorris — the same update COC gave. Probably the most we’ll get tonight here in Italy as we’re now past midnight. Will stay on this and provide updates when I get them.

This has been an extremely difficult start to the Olympics for Canada. First Deanna Stellato-Dudek injured in a training accident. And now Mark McMorris taken off of mountain in a stretch tonight after a training crash.

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

Researchers find that nearly all women who have sexual relationships with someone who had a position of authority over them (e.g., boss, professor) report it had a negative impact on them. Most also come to see those relationships as abuses of power—no matter how they felt at the time.

Lloyd Axworthy & Allan Rock: “Canada’s current arms-export system contains a loophole so large that it undermines the very values we claim to uphold.” Canadian-made parts are in weapons used in Gaza, Sudan & beyond—via the U.S. exemption. Read full article www.jennykwanndp.ca/globe_mail_w...

Finally, a statue. The #BlueJays, celebrating their 50th anniversary season, have their headliner. My story on the long-awaited news: www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...

The Montreal Canadiens are playing the Minnesota Wild in Minneapolis tonight. The players have been recommended to stay in/eat at the hotel, take the team bus to the arena, and carry passports. Perhaps we shouldn't be hosting the World Cup and the Olympics...

Hell, yeah. “I’ve got white skin, so I’m using my privilege to speak for my friends and neighbors. We’re telling them to stay home and stay safe, and we’re coming out and fighting for them.”

"Do you want the newspaper to add 'and that's illegal and bad' to every article about Trump?" Yeah man. I do want that.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Emptiest Royal Rumble

Chaos out here? Nope. I’m speaking with CBC News about the closure of the Howe Street overdose prevention site. These sites prevent deaths and connect people to care. Shutting it down only guarantees one thing: more public consumption. more people using alone. More overdoses. More tragedy.

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds

NEW ‼️ Judge has ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Ramos 🙏🏼

Oh and that guy got back into office thanks partially to the efforts of the world’s richest man who is also an open white supremacists, with a weird natal fetish, and was also running around or trying to with the original said pedophilic billionaire, who happened to cut aid to the Global South…

The President who’s pursuing a general policy of white supremacy was best friends with this guy and the DOJ who’s been rounding up people on his behalf which is charged with releasing these documents kind of haphazardly dumped a million of them out on Friday.

So what I’m gathering is a pedophilic billionaire successfully worked to destigmatize race science among the academic, political, and business elite partly by sex trafficking girls. Is that the shape of it so far?

Interesting Saturday for bitcoin:

ICE's Homeland Security Investigations division (HSI) will be in Milan to support the U.S. State Department's Diplomatic Security Service at the Milano-Cortina Olympic Games. Here’s context on why members of ICE will be in Italy for the Winter Olympics: www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

Out: trying to get rid of the park board, talking about bitcoin, wearing athleisure. In: talking constantly about affordability, safety, and FIFA — while wearing a suit. Here's my interview with Ken Sim, and a look at his election year transformation.

There is going to be a litany of reviews such as this. But this one is specifically well-written.
