1960: "More and more large luxury apartment buildings are being constructed" 1966: "Vancouver's West End Almost An Apartment City... The area has become filled with high-rise apartments during the past six years."

There needs to be an inquiry into why the VPD is using this specific space @lucymaloney.bsky.social @seanorr.bsky.social @ptfry.bsky.social

Re Today in Vancouver City Council - we're going on lunch break now. Cllr Bligh just gave notice that she's withdrawing her motion 3 regarding Supportive Housing due to Cllr Zhou’s misinformation campaign. Resuming at 1.15 pm with motion 4 which is my motion about remote work privileges.

1/ It's not everyday a sitting city councillor accuses his colleagues — in a language they don't speak, on a social media channel they don't use — of being drug users and dealers. Still 9 months out from the election and it's already getting nasty. via me & @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/02...

While chairing today’s standing committee, Cllr Klassen specifically referenced this article in a point of clarification and asked if the mover of the motion, former cop Cllr Montague, had been contacted for comment. really don’t see how that’s appropriate and ty to Cllr Bligh for calling it out

Huh that Liberal bump

To be clear, Clr Zhou provided no evidence to back up any of his allegations.

Made the mistake of tuning into some of Trump's SOTU. Watching him attack the Somali community was like listening to Hitler talk about Jews. Dehumanizing poison. And watching all those Republicans giving it a standing ovation was sickening. This is not a regime we should want anything to do with.

I would like to thank past Brandon for freezing a serving of chili a few weeks ago

My sunset too warm, the park dogs too cute

If only there was a mechanism by which people could give money, collectively, for the upkeep of city infrastructure. MY DUDE YOU JUST INVENTED TAXES.

UPDATE: Vancouver Lenny Zhou has apologized for a video he posted on WeChat where he said without evidence that multiple opposition councillors were drug users and dealers

Watching the US Olympic post-gold stuff and seeing the country punch itself in the face has really helped take the sting out of Sunday's loss, eh?

Jesus Christ look at the oval

Nobody names their baby Sherlock anymore

Here's a fun slide from the road conditions update happening at Vancouver City Council right now - yes that's right, a 400+ year backlog on sidewalks.

Wolf Parade Announce Western Canada Shows

Breaking MS NOW: Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available. Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

Mr Prime Minister, a second poll that has CPC +4 in Alberta has hit the averages

Or a Star Trek show with Garak as the main character. Star Trek: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

A star trek show which is only holodeck episodes

They say the councillor is Lenny Zhou, and he made the comments at some sort of filmed event where he made his remarks directly to camera. Of note: we still have not seen the video, or a translation of what he said. (which frankly, is a somewhat odd way to hold a press conference)

So who is keeping Vancouver on X? Is it the City Manager?

"This is a victory" and "we need to keep pushing" are not mutually exclusive statements. Quit the dooming of saying that this is nothing and worthless, it IS a win. BUT it's not *the* win that we're gunning for. Keep the pressure on until they completely stop demanding your ID and biometrics.

That's a pretty significant improvement in a few years

Vancouver council is meeting today, which means they will once be providing text updates *only* for subscribers of a website under investigation by multiple countries for child exploitation Staff were told by council months ago to post elsewhere, but haven't And they're doing it for 12 accounts

Vancouver should get sun days since we don't get snow days.

it's too nice out to be working 8 hours today

"Liberal" PM above water in Alberta. A unity prime minister.

I can't believe my tax dollars are flying these guys to DC to watch, what I assume, is going to be his most unhinged speech of all time. We live in truly the stupidest, most baffling timeline.

Would love this for iPhones.

Two weeks ago I wrote a column about the egregious escalation in violent Toronto police corruption in one of the biggest daily newspapers in Canada. I wrote that they are bullies & the chief should be fired. I take none of that lightly. 1/3

So a Canadian streaming service has rights to Jeopardy! now, but some of the commercials are burned in and must air. US pals - yall, I cannot believe the sheer amount of pharmaceutical ads you are subjected too. It’s absolutely crazy to me. It feels like your economy is 99% pill-based.

Well… the Team USA men’s hockey team sucked the good will out of that fast.

Also learning that he doesn't understand math very well. Equating an X% property tax increase with an X% in total monthly rent. Also claiming the city should keep costs under control, when he just advocated to keep an old ass bridge that's about to fall in the river in a strong storm

Huh whatever will a democracy do

oh god, the cis have discovered gender-affirming surgery (performed by charlatans in a garage)

It's too bad governments don't have websites where they could post updates instead of on infrastructure they don't own

The Cybertruck also has a record-breaking 100 per cent "you look like a dumb asshole" rate, breaking the record that had long been held by the Model Y.

Thanks to your support Friday, Miles’ ongoing care is covered! Good thing, since the “goober,” as his rescue calls him, already broke one splint. Thankfully, your generosity covers those extra splint changes, too! We're just glad he's happy and healing well. Pupdates to come! ❤️‍🩹

ebay is a great place to see terrible photos of a lot of stuff

Good luck East Coasters! 🥶🌨️❄️💨

I am going to marry two strangers because the blizzard closed city hall.

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.

Hang with Flavor Flav in Vegas > discover whether Trump truly smells as bad as everyone says he does

My dog has this eye condition which is apparently common in dogs who live in high elevations. Bright sun and snow really bother her. So now she looks like she's in a Warren Miller movie

Okay yes

This was a Liberal lead of one point last week btw

It is interesting the way she happens to pull the mic away every time he says it
