Vancouver City Councillor Sean Orr is suing Mayor Ken Sim, and it’s easy to see why. This entire mess is such an embarrassment to our city. To support getting Orr’s lawsuit off the ground: www.gofundme.com/f/sean-orr-i... #vanpoli #cdnpoli

Over 20,000 people were killed in Japan when the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami hit 15yrs ago. My family lost property - but more than that, the emotional scale of this national tragedy cannot be understated.

Does anyone know how the Vancouver Park Board voted last night on the Lost Lagoon plan? Minutes aren’t up yet. #vanpoli

Some much-needed levity in this truly dark timeline. #bcpoli #hudsonwilliams

My dog got sprayed by a skunk last night. I’m going to need more than one coffee today. 😶‍🌫️😩🫩

Spain will soon accept applications for its mass regularisation program - potentially granting one-year renewable residency and work permits to 500,000 eligible undocumented migrants who already live in the country (and have been crucial for its fast-paced economic growth in recent years).

Nobody would tell @rorywh.bsky.social and @cloelogan.bsky.social where data centres were planned in Ontario, or how big the plans are. So they scraped the picture together themselves, and it's startling.

Danielle Smith is intent on banning more books (including municipal libraries that serve schools) - and smaller/rural communities will be hardest hit unless this is stopped. #ableg #cdnpoli #booksky

Tohid Asadi was reporting from Tehran at 8.30am, where the smoke is so thick that it appears to be nighttime.

Market Financial Solutions (MFS) is only the latest worrying blowup of this kind. This follows last year’s news of First Brands and Tricolor entering bankruptcy court (amid allegations that they’d scammed lenders by repeatedly reusing collateral). #econsky

"The nine big retailers account for 94.5% of all retail food. That’s nine companies, using just 131 distribution centres. In drone war, that’s a sitting duck.” - Professor Tim Lang, the doyen of UK food system studies for 40 years www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Upside-Down Iftar (a children’s book by award-winning author Maysa Odeh and illustrator Nadine Issa) is back on shelves at Winnipeg’s Louis Riel School Division. It was initially removed without following internal protocols or library policy: www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif... #booksky

T Kira Madden sat down with The Seattle Times to talk about her process for drawing inspiration from real places, developing characters and more.

Exciting news for Canadian author (and UBC MFA Director) Annabel Lyon, whose 2009 novel The Golden Mean will be adapted by #HeatedRivalry show creator Jacob Tierney.

The decision to cut CBC funding goes against Carney’s campaign promise - and only weakens our media ecosystem. #cdnpoli

The mass exodus at the Toronto Film Critics Association is gathering pace after indigenous actress and filmmaker Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers returned her award trophy following the alleged censorship of her video acceptance speech, which included remarks in support of Palestine.

Leftist commentator Jason Kenney

Highly disappointed by how Carney has handled Canada’s response to the attack on Iran; Spain really showed up ten toes down. #cdnpoli

99 days til Vancouver welcomes the World Cup to our city. If you live/work downtown, @miss604.com has a great breakdown of TransLink’s plans. #FIFA #FIFA2026 #vanpoli

Previously unseen footage of hair and make-up testing for #Sinners, narrated by Ryan Coogler. It’s thrilling to see puzzle pieces of movie magic coming together like this. #oscars

Blackout in Cuba leaves millions without power amid US oil chokehold

It is truly infuriating to watch the ABC clown show unfolding in real time, especially when our city needs to tackle so many other issues. Mayor Sim’s behaviour and subsequent ‘apologies’ do nothing to quell constituent concerns. #vanpoli

this is wild — as @andreawoo.bsky.social has reported, B.C. has a critical shortage of OB-GYNs that has led to diversions in rural areas for many months. that the largest hospital in the largest city of the province has no O.B. on call is a massive failure. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Whew. This is an interview worthy of your (and certainly Ryan Coogler’s) time. #Sinners #SinnersMovie

Highly troubling piece by @mikehager.bsky.social and Greg Mercer, which links Indian consular staff in Vancouver to the 2023 assassination of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... - especially timely as Carney is in India scheduled to meet with Modi. #cdnpoli

Rooting so hard for Autumn Durald Arkapaw this Oscar season, and very happy to see the cinematographer on the cover of Vogue Philippines - which consistently celebrates and lifts up Filipino talent (both domestically and across the diaspora) in such a beautiful way. #SinnersMovie #Oscars

Do words even anymore

Canada’s prison librarians are already among the lowest-paid workers in the federal system so government savings will be marginal – but damage to inmates’ potential rehabilitation and institutional stability will be huge. #cdnpoli #librarysky

Indonesia is stepping up efforts to adopt locally manufactured trains for rail services, with the country's sovereign wealth fund throwing its weight behind the shift for major implications for Japanese suppliers. trib.al/AGrft0G
