American kids want you to know that mass deportation is traumatizing them. “When I go to school, I pray I come home safely,” said 16-year-old U.S. citizen Arnoldo Bazan. “Whenever I hear sirens or see an officer, my heart starts racing. I don’t even know when I will see my father again.”

Health care workers, patients: If you have thoughts about the Health Professions and Occupations Act, which comes into force tomorrow and overhauls how health care workers are regulated, I'd love to hear from you. DM or [email protected] www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Today is #TransDayofVisibility. I wrote about how the possibility for change that transness represents benefits everyone, because it is the same possibility that maybe other parts of our lives can be better too. 💖🤍💙 xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

Good ol’ Kingston police

before you tell me [Politician] is [Jurisdiction]'s Mamdani, I need you to check one thing for me: what are the boundaries of iced coffee season for them?

Anyone who claims to be a feminist must call the IOC trans exclusion/mandatory sex-testing policy out for what it is: a massive blow to fairness in women’s sports. It is literally harder for women compared to men today than it was yesterday. That's textbook gender discrimination, baby!!

if you watch and support the new harry potter show you are funding trans genocide globally by the way

carcinization is actually a metaphor for land use, but instead of everything becoming crabs, they become mixed use residential towers low-rises? not anymore, mixed use residential towers industrial space? nope, mixed use residential towers single family houses? nope, mixed use residential towers

Georgia state troopers used Flock to issue a traffic ticket. Sounds minor but is a new use. Most police depts say they will not use the system for this purpose. Fact that they're all networked means possibly more people subjected to lookups/surveillance etc www.404media.co/police-used-...

wild to hear Justin Ling claim on @youcaughtscott.com's podcast that BC is somehow trying to improve the FOI system

there are four times of day: tired (early) tired (existential dread) tired (late) sweet, precious sleep

They changed the classification to make it look like the drug decriminalization trial wasn't working. The NDP government let this happen, and this failure has doomed decriminalization for another generation. They ceded the ground to misinformation and cruelty WITHOUT A FIGHT.

"RFK Jr. just wants to fight chronic disease!"

A media criticism site using black hat tactics to go after critics of their reporting and commentary is that extra step beyond a cry for help. It's not media criticism anymore, it's a media troll. Rename it Carymaland and be done with it. Shame on any remaining subscribers.

Emergency doctor in Red Deer commenting on the Alberta government’s fraudulent study on supervised consumption. Keep the public outcry going. This ‘study’ has already had impacted policy in SK, MB and ON. It must be retracted and investigated. reddeeradvocate.com/2026/03/19/o...

"I have a willing partner in the provincial government to try to work on making that FOI system work better ... Or at least certainly I’ve got one that says it is.” BC FOI Commissioner Michael Harvey That last part, that's the catch Governments say lots of things, then sometimes do the opposite

“I do think that they’re using human trafficking language as a guise for what this operation is—which is anti-sex work. … This news release has really made it clear that the intent of this counter human trafficking unit is to target sex workers.” Angela Wu, Executive Director, SWAN.

it's funny how we're supposed to accept that immigration is to blame for the cost of housing going up unsustainably for the last couple decades because of the little spike in population in the last few years and not, say, government abandonment of public housing

ICE has killed someone new.

Waffles has a good time

My favourite story of the week (so far)! www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

i just realized "incel hitting himself in the face with a hammer to become more appealing" is the plot of fight club

There are now two very good reasons to mask up in stores.

SCOOP From 2021-25, the Alberta government gave $745,000 in conference sponsorships to Last Door. Their functions are redacted, but they appear linked to conflicts of interest among authors of a recent government study working to justify consumption site closures. drugdatadecoded.ca/alberta-gove...

a fundamental thing about trump is that other people literally do not exist to him. he does not perceive them to be real.

this seems like a good way to ensure any future lawsuit comes with punitive damages

The FDA has asked Raw Farm to recall the cheddar cheese linked to the outbreak and "it has declined." But E.coli 0157 H7 is a very pathogenic bacteria. So buyer be aware and beware here. 1/3

@fabulavancouver.bsky.social saying something positive about congestion pricing alert! No lies detected. www.vancitylookout.com/p/francis-bu...

the proud boys' lawyer thinks he redacted the email addresses of the over 2000 people who donated to the fundraiser for the lawsuit, but here's the thing: no he did not lol

AHHHHHHHHHH

The agency has never before issued a heat advisory in the Bay Area in March, and only one April heat advisory has been recorded over the past two decades. 🎁

I forgot about the proud nation of Caspian Sea

A Canadian journalist documents a group of white nationalists who’ve been meeting at a gym in Montréal, unbeknownst to the owner of the business. What happens after the story comes out? thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

will you also take a human rights approach to the unregulated drug emergency as the Commissioner recommended bchumanrights.ca/wp-content/u...

Conservative MP for Powell River–North Island, Aaron Gunn, is, uh, well he’s being trolled a bit for his condemnation of land acknowledgements yesterday. Message from K’omoks, Klahoose, Homalco & Tla’amin Nations: “Chillax, bud.” #bcpoli

talking to him was an alternative to BEATING HIM TO DEATH, apparently

My new video is out on YouTube now: "Why the New York Times Loves Stupid Questions" youtu.be/ztQJ7XGuPhc

to put it another way, he doesn't support trans equality

The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.

The Iranians will greet our drones as liberators. by Bret Stephens

that journalists should do PR work for the military by preferring euphemistic language that softens its core function — especially in the US, with its long history of war mongering — is a silly idea

We’re still murdering people in “drug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.

So far more than 19,053 British Columbians have been killed since early 2014, when unregulated fentanyl started showing up in the illicit drug supply. thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

Bari Weiss is pushing the “50 year war” narrative at both the Free Press and CBS. The erases both American culpability for the current war (since Iran started in 1979!) and the reasons why a theocratic anti-American regime took power in the first place. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-reason...

Find yourself someone who loves you as much as PM Goldman Sachs loves an audience of corporate and government elites. (He really, really needs to do a sit-down interview where the target audience is ordinary Canadians. This isn't a normal approach to communications -- especially in a crisis.)

Editorial boards have supported Canada’s war and regime change efforts since the First World War 98 per cent of the time. www.readthemaple.com/newspaper-wa...
