ABC just voted to gut the Vision Zero Safe Mobility Plan. This was a critical, evidence-based package of reforms that would have saved lives and had virtually unanimous public support...but they voted to kill the most important part. And they used shameless spin to justify it. Unacceptable!

BREAKING: Mayor Ken Sim's ABC majority voted not to reduce speed limits on major roads, despite 93% of all road fatalities in Vancouver happening on arterials. This was one of the most important Near-Term Actions in the entire plan, because roads will never be safe until people drive at safe speeds.

This is absolutely unacceptable - for Canada or any country Contact your MP! dontsurveil.me/c22.html

Visited senakw today - omg. It’s pretty epic, and cheap for the location.

Okay but the Carney government also awarded American-owned Ford $464M to make trucks in Oakville and The Canadian Press never reported on those funds as a “handout” to keep it “afloat”.

East Vancouver is the best neighbourhood in Canada I will fight you

stupid people close all the bus services, consumption sites, warming shelters, community shelters, and then they're all like "ewwww why are there visible homeless people and visible drug users", even as said stupid people loudly drink booze in homes and bars before hopping behind the wheel

Today, Ken Sim and ABC killed an overdose prevention site that Vancouver Coastal Health has been working towards for years. (1/6)

Wes gets it. I don't think MLS has known where to go for a few years now, or how to even define success. The World Cup has developed into something grotesque rather than "rocket fuel," Messi hasn't been the breakthrough, and dumping a team like the Whitecaps give away the game.

The FN Leadership Council is calling on all MLAs in BC to vote against Premier Eby's bill to suspend the Declaration Act. They've offered alternatives. Every one was rejected. Eby declared suspension "non-negotiable" & then accused FN of refusing to compromise: khelsilem.substack.com/p/first-nati...

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

people will scold you for joking around when things seem really scary and fucked up. brother, those are the times what we invented joking around for

V8s. Let me tell you how much I've come to love V8s since I began to shop Chevy. There are 387.44 million miles of road that fill this country. If the word 'V8' were written on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the appreciation I feel fo

Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir. The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell. Open letter linked + explainer 🧵1/ www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/gilea...

Bittersweet at missing GDC this year. It had to happen for a number of reasons, but I’m still a bit bummed because I always connect with so many cool people.

"Increasingly, the landscape for large-scale events, particularly community events, has been changing." Ken Sim and ABC found $1 million for a sign and $2 million for fireworks after pushing through a brutal austerity Budget. Surely we can save Car Free Days! www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

sure you should check the food bowl and all but riffing is typically a sign that you're housing your writers in an overstocked tank. you're going to need a bigger enclosure and/or to rehome some writers. otherwise they'll get their plots tangled together and form a "writer king"

Watching people play Outer Wilds for the first time produces every good brain chemical.

I might be new here, but I think a city that fosters community, local business and arts festivals is a better one to live in than a city where, if you say it should be for anyone other than tesla-driving real estate investors, the mayor will call you a drug dealer.

Has liberating a country through bombing their children to death ever worked?

I wrote a few words last night. nvie.com/posts/15-yea...

Key areas are given very small increases, which mean real cuts to services. The gov’s tax increases will hit low- to moderate income households. The budget lays the burden of austerity on the poorest in BC, while abandoning key investments in the care economy, including $10day child care 5/ #bcpoli

The BC government says the budget has to be "tough" to tackle large deficits. But we can’t talk about deficits without talking about revenues. And BC’s revenue as a share of our economy is much lower than it was before the deep tax cuts of the early 2000s. #bcpoli #BCBudget2026

Vancouver city councillor @lucymaloney.bsky.social has introduced a new Council motion that would get rid of right turns on red lights in the city. Via @dailyhivevancouver.bsky.social Unquestionably the smart, evidence-based move for EVERYONE’s safety, but especially for people walking & on bikes.

I’m actually impressed by how Heated Rivalry is leaning into its structural weirdness and just going for it.

What is this, a housing plan for ants?

Right, that's exactly where you wanna build a data center – in a place which has half a second of ping to anywhere on Earth and is perfectly heat-insulated on all sides. www.businessinsider.com/google-proje...

Thread on what I've seen as a journalist for @thetyee.ca this week at DULF's constitutional challenge. They're arguing closing their compassion club put marginalized people at risk of overdose and death. Explainer article coming early next week.

Heated Rivalry. Oh my.

Health Canada convened an independent expert advisory group in 2020 to provide guidance on safer supply. Health Canada heavily redacted its final report, but unredacted version obtained by CBC shows the expert group said drug crisis is driven by prohibition and recommended expansion of safer supply

I’m honestly shocked that this story from @globalnews.ca has flown under the radar. Confirmation that Amit Shah, the second-most powerful man in the Indian government, was directly involved in the assassinations on Canadian soil. globalnews.ca/news/1151469...
