'Devastating': Chinatown’s last post office set to close vancouversun.com/news/chinato...

This farm apparently hid their outbreak. The best thing that could happen for other farmers is for the CFIA to come down like a ton of bricks on any farm that does that. No compensation for lost livestock, lose all their permits, huge fines, etc. Scorched earth when a farm doesn't report outbreaks.

remember when paul johnson won a journalism award for 'discovering' you could get pills at a place literally named 'pill corner' since the 80s

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Infants younger than six months old get hit the hardest with respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, making up almost half of all patients hospitalized for the illness in Canada, according to a new study. @michellegamage.bsky.social reports.

for the globe editorial board it's just a given that government spending is inherently bad and workers are reduced to "fat to cut." never mind the livelihoods of the human people they're talking about or the broader economic impact of cutting jobs

idk who needs to hear this, but governments can just build housing. they don't need to just incentivize private and nonprofit developers and hope it works out www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

proud of @jackiedives.bsky.social for fighting this. it's so important to draw lines like this in an age where AI slop is ripping off artists' work for subpar imagery and text to replace human labour

The City of Burnaby put on a *free* Halloween event that included live performances, a drone show and a frankly impressive fireworks display last week that drew thousands of kids and families.

quite literally this bill only fails is if he lets it fail or if his party turns against him

YOU HAVE A MAJORITY

this ad on YouTube sure seems like a problem!

Ford government walks back controversial plan to allow tenant evictions when leases expire

✨ realizing you didn't take your adhd meds and suddenly your day makes so much more sense ✨

idk I for one think media shouldn't take down reasonable opinion pieces because they made a powerful political figure uncomfortable drugdatadecoded.ca/i-didnt-know...

We do have the power to stop this...

At this family friendly event, a lady in an SUV tried to drive through the crowd because her daughter had to get to a soccer game and refused to do a u-turn. This is exactly what we mean when say drivers are entitled in this city. Unreal.

still absolutely bonkers to me that the province didn't step in and take over from greyhound when they left

Excellent digging by @emmamci.bsky.social and @alexboyd.bsky.social

search Craigslist for an apartment in Vancouver, for <$1750 and you get ~450 results. add "cats ok" and that drops to 60 how about that election promise to end pet bans

Nice editorial in the #Saanich News, from last week ICYMI. #yyj #yyjbike

Social media has destroyed the fabric of civilization buts it’s also helped me a lot personally

The deep efficiency of the invisible hand.

the AG's announcement is a statement of allegiance to the war on drugs, which Trump is using as motive for imposing tariffs that shred global trade, for extrajudicial mass murder, the disappearing to El Salvador without due process, and the military invasion of cities she's helping

hoping to see my former coworkers' new publication, a nonprofit news co-op to replace the Glacier papers that closed earlier this year, flourish and help prove a different model for journalism www.freshetnews.ca/a-new-beginn...

the police are *claiming* that overtime spending has increased exponentially since 2023 because of an officer shortage, an easily disproven assertion. cc @bakergeorget.bsky.social @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The truth about Israel as a euro-colonial entity is that they chose genocide and urbicide because they couldn’t conceive of living equally with Indigenous Palestinians that welcomed them as refugees. So they dropped 9x more fire power on civilians than the American nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima

never met a water bottle I couldn't lose

Couldn't agree more. This kind of predatory landlord behaviour needs to be curbed or we're going to lose our downtowns.
