These bloodthirsty ghouls are just saying everything out loud: we are going to kill thousands of people for oil

As the year ends, let's look back on the groundbreaking work our team has accomplished - none of which would be possible without the support of our amazing Ricochet community. ⬇️

The Carney-Smith ‘grand bargain’ is a fire sale of our future. The former UN #climate envoy is trading Indigenous rights and Canada’s climate legacy for a financially toxic tar sands pipeline deal with #Alberta. New from @richardbrooks.bsky.social: ricochet.media/climate/the-... #cdnpoli

From housing to healthcare, climate to foreign policy—the issues defining Canada demand critical, public-interest reporting. Ricochet delivers it, without corporate or partisan influence. Now your donation is tax-deductible. Join the Ricochet community today: ricochet.media/donate/

The Aquilinis are among the worst owners in all of pro sports. Expropriate the Canucks.

I was invited to Craft Beer Hall to watch this event live with the mayor and ABC councillors. I declined.

mourning the passing of great thinker Asad Haider. unflinching gaze. lover of justice.

Nos ha dejado Asad Haider, una mente brillante, militante socialista y uno de los fundadores y editores de la revista Viewpoint Magazine Rest in Power 💔

now who will stop your kids from being fed bugs

Funding for critical, independent journalism might be shrinking, but our to-do list isn't. We’re aiming for 100 new monthly donors by Dec 31, and now every dollar is tax-deductible. Help us keep filling in the gaps mainstream media leaves behind: ricochet.media/donate/

I suspect even WAC Bennet might have nationalized it too.

Nationalize it. That's what Bob Williams and Dave Barrett would've done. #bcpoli

Governments change. Policies shift. But the need for journalism that serves people—not power—remains constant. Ricochet’s new para-charitable status ensures our reporting stays independent, at a time when Canada needs it most. Support us this Giving Tuesday: ricochet.media/donate/

Wondering why Dallas Brodie and Frances Widdowson got kicked off the UVic campus today? Gitxan journalist Jerome Turner attended one of their unsanctioned events, and wrote about it. Here’s what academic Sean Carleton told Jerome about their movement. Read more: ricochet.media/indigenous/w...

As trust in institutions erodes & political rhetoric intensifies, fearless journalism is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. Our new charitable status means your support goes twice as far. Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday, help fund public-interest journalism: ricochet.media/donate/

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

For someone who hates socialism he sure loves being publicly owned

Our new RJO status is a game-changer. It means we can now give you a tax receipt, so you can effectively double the power of your investment. Fuel our next chapter of hard-hitting, public-interest reporting. Give today: ricochet.media/donate/

The next Vancouver municipal election will be held Oct. 17, 2026.

Maybe it's time to implement a left-wing lock system at City Hall. (I'll see myself out, sorry...)

Tuesday is Budget debate day at City Council. We've seen an unprecedented fight back against this awful proposed Budget. Add your voice now! Last chance to tell Councillors to do the right thing and stop Ken Sim's cuts. Send your letter: votecope.ca/stopsim

It's our last chance to stop Ken Sim's plan to slash city services to give a hand-out to the super-rich. Send a letter to City Council to join your neighbours in fighting back: votecope.ca/stopsim

We've got some exciting news to share! We recently found out that we're an RJO! (we can now issue tax receipts like a charity) "This is, without exaggeration, a game-changer for us." Check out the full announcement from one of our founders, @ethancox.bsky.social: ricochet.media/announcement...

It just takes a minute to email ABC's City Councillors. Ask them to reject their backroom handlers, show some courage, and oppose Ken Sim's Cuts. Also there's an election next year. Now's a great time to join the Coalition of Progressive Electors. www.copevancouver.ca/join #vanpoli

Feeling inspired by and grateful to my fellow Vancouver residents today for organizing en masse against a budget so sloppy and craven that anyone else would be fired for presenting it at their work.

240: Chloe Leslie. everyone deserves clean parks, affordable homes, and libraries. These cuts aren’t helping average Vancouverites. Benefits ultra rich. Listen to people.

246: folk fest president. Advocating for increased funding for arts. Arts is a necessity. Festivals under threat. Many have folded. We bring in millions of dollars to economy. We bring joy in world of despair. Half of our grants just go back to city in police costs.

I am so goddamn tired of conservatives destroying things that belong to the public. This department doesn't belong to Sim, it's not his, he has no moral right to do this. This is social vandalism. He just sucks so much. And he's not even a fun mayor who sucks, he's just boring and mid and awful.

Ken Sim hopes you don't see this screenshot from the City's 2026 Budget Feedback report. By a more than 4-to-1 margin, residents of Vancouver preferred a tax rate that maintained public services to ABC's reckless 0% tax gimmick. #vanpoli #StopTheCuts #Budget2026 #FightForVancouver

The vast majority of budget survey respondents says they’d payback moderate property tax increase to protect services. Remember this is all to save the average condo owner 8 bucks a month.

Hi, I'm Kevin O'Leary, millionaire, Trump lover, Canadian, fraud, bad investor, and person who worships income disparity and believes people in poverty should admire the 1%. Here is why I am extremely angry and confused that I was not Zohran Mamdani's first priority and favourite special little boy

We really are ruled by supervillains.

This budget is further confirmation that Mark Carney is Stephen Harper’s political heir.

MAMDANI CAME OUT TO JA RULE "NEW YORK" AND IMMEDIATELY QUOTED EUGENE DEBS

Having volunteered on and helped run socialist campaigns at the municipal level a few times here in Vancouver, what a joy it is to see the bar raised so spectacularly. May Zohran Mamdani's historic win inspire us all to continue and to scale-up our political courage & the audacity of our efforts.

Congratulations, New York City!! Zohran Mamdani’s win is historic, the result of a grassroots campaign that fought to make life more affordable. Vancouver’s next municipal election is October 17, 2026.

Great news for our neighbourhood - and for the whole city.

This is why it’s a problem to have right-wing governments at the local government level. If passed, this budget would not only devastate services, it would pass debt to future councils. Interest and inflation don’t magically disappear. It’s “electoral math,” not fiscal prudence or good governance.

In B.C., progressive movement leaders feel betrayed by David Eby’s NDP. The 'government's calculation appears to be billions for LNG and pennies for families'. New from @westernwriter.bsky.social: ricochet.media/climate/in-b... #BCpoli

Ken Sim is a desperate and pathetic figure. We need a lot more Sean Orrs in elected office. 🌹🇵🇸 #vanpoli

“It was a lightning rod of hope. We brought in thousands of new members to this party, many of whom were completely disillusioned with politics.” Emily Lowan’s victory is a sign that the climate movement still has the energy to capture voters. Hugh Chan writes. #bcpoli

Big news today, as Ecuador has revoked the licence for a Canadian company to develop a massive gold mine. Brandi Morin reported from Ecuador on this mining project in May, with locals telling her it was a ‘ticking time bomb.’ Brandi’s feature: ricochet.media/indigenous/b...

Solidarity with the people of Gaza is not controversial. Read City Councillor @seanorr.bsky.social's speech from today: www.votecope.ca/news/solidar... #vanpoli

Ken Sim killed the city's Equity Office. Now, less than a week later, he's retweeting far-right residential school denialists and anti-LGBT activists. Evict Ken Sim.

"My biggest focus in the coming weeks and months is fighting against ABC’s push for an austerity budget that could see many vital services cut back and hundreds of workers lose their jobs." - @seanorr.bsky.social September Orr Report: www.votecope.ca/news/the-orr... #FightForVancouver #vanpoli

'The Good Canadian' on Gem is very, very good; important viewing for #TRC today and always.

THE GOOD CANADIAN premieres today on CBC & APTN, also available on CBC Gem & APTN Lumi. I hope you will take the time to watch this important movie that connects the dots between the injustices faced by Indigenous people. Proud to have been a researcher on this project. #truthandreconciliation

Canada’s increasingly militarized border pushes migrants into taking riskier routes to claim asylum. We travelled along the border to highlight the human impact of the government's ‘security’ plan. New investigation from @xaviersfournier.bsky.social: ricochet.media/justice/migr... #cdnpoli
