Damn if only there were some alternatives (Reminder that several months ago council unanimously voted to direct staff to find alternatives but I guess the challenge was simply insurmountable)

In 2024 Dominato voted against immediate implementation of suicide prevention barriers. In 2025 she voted for a "zero means zero" budget which gutted future investments, including these barriers. In 2026 she voted against an amendment to restore funding for the barriers. (1/3)

Oh and this has been my life for since Monday morning. An ancient steam valve gave up the ghost.

@gregorrobertson.bsky.social Extend the Broadway line to UBC!

Reconsidering my militant position of always keeping my hair down after walking up Cambie in this heat.

These chucklefucks have apparently never actually •watched• a fire before. Floating embers can travel a ridiculous distance. If they land on the right substance, you have a fire very quickly. The only thing worse than a stupid person is an entitled stupid person.

Arsenal fans this is how overt we can be….

The ex CoV city manager to PHSA CEO pipeline is still working.

All right I’ve had it with COPE and their full on misrepresentation on subject of two minor data centres.

Yay it’s here!

The strangest thing in BC media is when reporters describe Bill Tieleman as just some guy and not one of the best-known lobbyists in the province. I guess he's good at his job.

Bridesmaids no more: Arsenal’s faith in Mikel Arteta rewarded with the ultimate prize

2025/2026 Premier League Champions!

Arsenal crowned Premier League champions after Manchester City draw

Fuck off

search Arsenal on google right fucking now!

OMG! YEESSSSSS!!!!!

Also by advocating against Canadian data centres folks are reinforcing the structural advantages of Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

Vancouver, BC. And, ridiculous decision. These are business addresses, not personal; the owners chose to make them so. If you don't want them to be treated as businesses, then don't operate as one. Simple. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is how much the DC in Nanaimo is going to use (not much and not the biggest commercial/industrial user) so heck of a job BC Greens.

Of all the North American cities studied, Vancouver's buses have the second highest variation in travel time throughout the day. This should set off alarm bells that we have a lot of work to do when it comes to making buses reliable.

NEW: Seattle might declare a civil emergency to help LGBTQ (mostly trans) people fleeing red states, so I looked for a Texas angle. An organizer told me that Texas is #1 among trans people looking to relocate: "The baseline hostility to their existence is unbearable." www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Whether you like density or not, there is a moral imperative to make room for more people in our city.

Tragic and infuriatingly preventable. I encourage everyone to listen to this council debate from 2024 where one by one, ABC councilors lined up to proclaim how important this issue was as they voted to punt funding for it till 2027-30, which they then cancelled altogether this March. (1/4)

It's good that Mayor Vibes has released a statement saying that his only use of AI on city business is all the Alberta Idiots he consults.

What if the open nomination of your party revealed the under representation of certain areas?

Today we’re publishing an important investigative story by Emily Enns. This story maps the connections between a group of mostly retired academics and think tanks to sow doubt about the historical truths of residential schools in Canada. thetyee.ca/News/2026/05...

Fighting the urge to post "census form type correlated to heig..."

If we can survive this we can survive having a proper bike lane on Broadway

Long form Census in da house!

All right I've seen enough, the new hot NIMBY "critique" is to say what about IN YUOR BACKYARD?!?!?! 1. I don't have a backyard 2. I would love to not live in a 1940s apartment

The rise of cosy gaming: is this the closest many young people will get to home ownership?

Just voted in @onecityvan.bsky.social Council, School and Park Borad nominations. Its a hard choice for the Council ones in particular. Here's how I voted: 1. Peter Waldkirch 2. Armor Valor 3. Caitlin Stockwell 4. Azeem Ali

Strong leadership means listening, learning, and working with experts and communities alike. I’ve spent years learning from the best in the field to ensure my housing policies are grounded in real-world solutions. I'm grateful to have the support of @tomdavidoff.bsky.social!

Two guys breaking 2 hours in the London Marathon is outrageous. Preposterous. Averaging 4:30 miles. Getting faster every 5K after the halfway point. Ridiculous.

Boomer citing Sam Cooper (lol) to discredit someone who isn’t TEAM. Perfection of a dumb sort and MH endorsing William is completely in line with reality unlike RR

I’m all for bird’s nests BUT…. someone needs to talk to these birds about locations.

Maybe we should have expected that ultimately no one would care that the president was a sex trafficking pedophile when people still don't care that the King of Pop was a pedophile who raped children. variety.com/2026/film/bo...

The day after nine hours of overtime means it’s time for ice cream.

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 agree with Peter. Armor would be a fantastic addition to city council.

People are asking ChatGPT things I would normally just ask a friend, parent, mentor, therapist or medical professional for or about. It takes work to build and maintain those relationships, and figure out who is the right person to ask, but the alternative is a digital tool known for lying to users.

This is bananas. Even worse is that governments have systematically undermined Vancouver as the region’s centre. “Downtown Surrey” is 100% the result of arbitrary policy choices that have choked Vancouver.
