Ah why not? Here's another Barn Owl picture I have taken. This beauty was flying right towards me. #birds #birdphotography #photography #wildlifephotography #wildlife

Agree with and appreciate Rachel's summary here.

love that Supercop #3 expects us to believe he had reason to believe a sitting MLA was engaged in flagrant corruption, conducted an illegal search — and then got distracted so never completed his investigation. Adorable.

some years, Circulatory System Walking Through the Kitchen Day just completely sneaks up on you

With @theglobeandmail.com choosing to continue manufacturing consent for forced abstinence — guaranteed to increase violence in the short-term and overdose deaths in the long term across Victoria — here’s what I dug up after the last time: drugdatadecoded.ca/bc-governmen...

One thing councillors can count on is an annual pre-budget visit from the police chief predicting chaos without vast amounts of new spending. Meanwhile, services that prevent crime are cut to pay for the police budget, social neglect goes up, and rinse and repeat.

Glad to see this @livewirecalgary.bsky.social op-ed naming last week’s pre-budget intimidation campaign by Calgary police for what it was. By former city councillor @cwalcottyyc.bsky.social

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” -Ta-Nehisi Coates

Thrilled to be joining @ijbstories.bsky.social. Investigative journalism, active journalism, is more important than ever. Cannot wait to make some trouble with this small, mighty team.

The New York Times is the paper of record and has played a key role in enabling the Gaza genocide. To hold the newspaper accountable, we must sever our ties —not only as subscribers or advertisers, but also as writers who lend the paper legitimacy. mondoweiss.net/2025/11/why-...

Men who can’t handle a woman who looks like she would stand up for herself really love telling on themselves

My read of ASIRT's report confirms a clear breach of the duties associated with public office - see 18 -23 The report's conclusions are unsustainable. A witness is allowed to say (at 12) I do not recall the exact reason I searched Philip’s name but it wd have only been done for a lawful purpose. LOL

“I, (then state your name), do solemnly swear…”

I can’t believe there are people who oppose free vaccines. They have zero possibility of ‘system abuse’ because who tf wants unnecessary shots, and every shot given out personally saves you money and personally makes you healthier.

Yeah it seems like the best political move is to give into this guy

🚨 Alberta is Recalling. UCP MLA Angela Pitt facing recall campaign in Airdrie-East 👀 Also: Look who’s running in the UCP AGM board elections. daveberta.substack.com/p/alberta-is...

The news that Lethbridge police got away with stalking, harassing and threatening Phillips because the chance of conviction was too low is an indictment of the entire justice system in Alberta.

More needs to be said about the strength and bravery of @sphillipsab.bsky.social to have gone through this for 8 years. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

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...

Deeply appreciate Canada’s media union speaking out against this multimillion dollar lawsuit An attack on one is an attack on all If they can do this to me, they can do this to you

Great to see a full-page ad in Le Devoir condemning Canada's military spending.

Hard to know when someone is hitchhiking or just like really supportive

Mark Carney's budget will make Trump and Canada’s corporate class happy, but it does little for working people. Martin Lukacs and @desmondcole.bsky.social break down the Liberals' Stephen Harper-esque moves, from public service layoffs to corporate handouts. breachmedia.ca/a-budget-for...

Of course: this is why everyone half important has been lying about what’s happening constantly, for two years. It’s not because they *don’t* understand what’s going on, it’s because they know exactly.

I suspect there is a major public-health benefit to downtown bike lanes as well. When I’m on a bike I am vastly more likely to stop and check on someone in potential medical distress. Bonus: more likelihood of filming police during potentially abusive encounters.

Happy to hear the conviction will be in abeyance until this moves through Supreme Court. Glad Justice Murray recognized that these two had noble intentions of saving lives (something elected leaders are reluctant to do). She was bound by the law as written. But this isn’t over!

We fail suicidal people in so many ways it is almost fitting we are driving them into the thrall of robots who urge on their self-inflicted death.

“Our city leads the world in documented severe frostbite cases. Reported amputations due to frostbite reached an all-time high of 110 cases in 2024 in Edmonton. This is more than five times higher than the average over the preceding 10 years, and three times higher than Calgary.”

Edmonton has had a disturbingly high number of frostbite amputations the last two winters. With freezing temps on the way, both the City and the Government of Alberta must do more to prevent people from freezing in the cold. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #yegcc

!!!! This is a DISGRACE and so deeply disturbing. Support Luke! Support Press Progress! Support journalism!!!

"included in the evidence were phone calls and emails of support from Vancouver police, who later raided the club and arrested Kalicum and Nyx" Court finds DULF guilty: drugdatadecoded.ca/court-finds-... bsky.app/profile/drug...

Not just a cop trained in investigation, but the cop in charge of the investigation against DULF.

This is a cop, trained in ‘investigation’ ⬇️ More excellent coverage of the DULF trial by @michellegamage.bsky.social

At some point, when all this is settled, I would like the BC public to hold this person to account for her disinformation and the community harm it has wreaked. Well done @brishti.bsky.social getting more for the public record.

Here it is, through the eyes of @brishti.bsky.social 🔥⬇️

📣 DULF found guilty for life-saving compassion club 📣 But WAIT! Not so fast… drugdatadecoded.ca/court-finds-...

BC's anti-SLAPP legislation was critical to keeping a meritless lawsuit @torimarlan.bsky.social and I faced to the "affordable" sum of ~$50k in legal fees. Journalists like Luke not protected by these laws have much higher exposure — even when, like us, they did nothing wrong.

update on the dulf case despite the judge recognizing the political theatre that led to the DULF arrests, the court has found them guilty they still have a charter challenge & im optimistic they'll win there #harmreduction #drugsky #cdnpoli

"[C]o-founders of the Drug User Liberation Front compassion club, Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum, were found guilty." "To support DULF’s Charter challenge, consider donating to them": www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donati... #BritishColumbia #Canada #Courts #Drugs #Healthcare #Policing

That’s a lot of people. The Calgary Herald should really make clear why that piece was pulled.

📣 DULF found guilty for life-saving compassion club 📣 But WAIT! Not so fast… drugdatadecoded.ca/court-finds-...

"There were forty-seven members in the compassion club, and zero deaths occurred among members during the year that the site operated. Since the site was raided and shut down by Vancouver police, at least two members have reportedly died."

Founders of Vancouver’s Drug User Liberation Front Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalinin have just been found guilty of drug trafficking. Justice Murray rules CDSA exemption didn’t include procurement & distribution. “There is no doubt all of DULF’s actions were for one purpose.” @pressprogress.ca

Breaking: the founders of DULF have been found guilty of three counts of drug trafficking. @michellegamage.bsky.social will have the full story later today thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

BREAKING: DULF organizers found guilty of trafficking. More to come w/ @tsk.bsky.social in the courtroom today. Legal fund linked below ⬇️ please give what you can. This is just getting started.
