it should be illegal for politicians to call fossil fuels "clean energy"

1/ This announcement marks the Carney government’s official surrender to the oil and gas lobby.

Ken Sim violated the city’s code of conduct when he attacked Sean Orr in a press conference for old tweets immediately after he was elected, an outside investigation has ruled

Carney announces environment to be eliminated as cost-cutting measure

Today in #vanpoli

politicians trying to do christian nationalism in BC is so funny like we are literally the least christian province/territory in the entire country

people who are all in on AI live in a bubble. ken sim didn't realize that the mayor of vancouver bragging about having 11 AI agents doing his work for him maybe wouldn't go over so well with the people paying his salary

So honoured to be @copevancouver.bsky.social’s ‘26 mayoral candidate. This moment calls us to be courageous, to name the root causes of the systemic issues facing our communities, & to fight back against the destructive power of the billionaire class. A caring city w power to the people. Let’s go!

evict ken sim and his 11 AI agents

of course he is

1/ It’s time to build affordable homes, a national network of public grocery stores, electric buses and an east-west clean energy grid. Not massive corporate AI data centres unleashed without any democratic debate. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

thanks, i hate it!

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Deeply integrating our economy with the United States is what made Canada so vulnerable to Trump’s bullying in the first place. This isn’t what Canadians voted for. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

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

1/ PM Carney seems ready to suspend environmental regulation in Canada under the illusion that he can buy political peace with Danielle Smith (ie the oil industry). www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

Wait until you hear about how much money the police bleed

justin trudeau bought alberta a pipeline

a food pill would unironically solve like 75% of my problems

nothing ever really gets better but at least there’s always cherry blossoms

i can’t believe i didn’t know that a peanut once ran for mayor of vancouver

Mental health is part of your health. It should be part of our publicly-funded healthcare system. What do we think is worth spending money on in this country? Why does this government have billions available for major projects and for bullets and bombs but not for projects that benefit all of us?

What's wild is that the only group that actually violates property rights in Canada is corporations. They can drill through your land and excavate you from your home and send the RCMP if you protest. Yet racists want us all to be mad at Indigenous people who didn't take anyone's property title away

they're making beautiful people with interesting hobbies work 40 hours a week

What the fuck are we even doing

Right on, Mr. Lewis. It took me most of a year to apply for the DTC. For an extra $200 a month. This government really could lift disabled Canadians out of poverty - they just don't want to. But sure, let's subsidize fossil fuels more! Those poor, struggling oil companies!

i still can’t believe this is real

Vassy Kapelos: What if [a windfall profits tax on big oil] deflates them? NDP leader Avi Lewis: Tell the family where 1 in 4 Canadians is skipping a meal .. to feed their kids, that an industry making $90B in profits this year can’t afford to pay a little bit more. I’m sorry I just don’t accept it.

here’s my latest for @nationalobserver.com on how it’s both smart policy and politics for the federal NDP to go after surveillance pricing www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/24/n...

Full blown nazi rhetoric openly being spewed by elected officials

the anti-indigenous racism that the premier's poor handling of DRIPA has unleashed in BC is genuinely devastating. it makes me sick looking at what our political discourse has become. congratulations dallas brodie you've won.

The Declaration Act debate made one thing clear: when industry lobbies govt, it's democracy. When First Nations negotiate with the Province, it's "hostage-taking." They agreed to collaborate. Apparently that's a threat to democracy. New on my Substack 👇 khelsilem.substack.com/p/the-declar...

Reading comments from Premier David Eby and articles on his decision to take no action on #DRIPA for at least six months made me wonder — what kind of a person/leader is he? Judith Sayers writes. #bcpoli

unfortunately i can feel it all over my body and outside of it too. what now

They're saying it's the most unbiased poll question ever. echeloninsights.com/insights/apr...

On April 1st ABC councillors unanimously signed on to the Elect Respect campaign. On Sunday they started running this ad. It’s almost comical at this point.

i’m good thanks

Canada's political soil provides particularly fertile ground for left wing populism. To a greater extent than at any other point in my adult life, the Liberals and Conservatives have ideologically converged & are mostly fighting over the aesthetics of their shared agenda.

or: stop holding individuals responsible for structural problems. structural problems require structural solutions. people fly because there is a lack of viable alternatives. reducing climate action down to individual choices is missing the forest for the trees.

thinking about this again

the premier insists this is needed because “the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled late last year that the mineral rules in the province are ‘inconsistent’ with the DRIPA legislation” but for some reason he's not amending the Mining Act hmmmmmm #bcpoli

Caitlyn Jenner, a trans woman who supported Trump for years, being left unable to travel internationally or vote due to Trump's anti-trans policies should be a stark warning to any of the anti-trans gay people out there. The leopards will make a meal of your face too. Just wait.

i never thought the leopards would eat MY face

Tonda MacCharles: "[Avi Lewis] landed with a very strong policy proposal that none of us were that aware of, surveillance pricing ... suddenly there's an effective voice arguing for real ppl's concerns on the left. [Poilievre] may not be the sole voice of ordinary Canadians as he would like to be."

🌸

Today, the Liberals rejected our NDP motion to ban surveillance pricing - a dystopian practice that will drive up costs for Canadians if we allow it to take root. The NDP is the only party fighting to protect you from getting ripped off at the checkout.
