We often focus on municipal issues, but the Province has a giant role to play in keeping people safe on our streets. Here are 5 ideas the Province could implement, most of them nearly overnight, all of them within current budget constraints (a few even make money!) in order to save lives.

This week’s comic is now up on @dailykos.com - A Busy, Busy Day in Washington, DC - www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

hello! I find myself in dire need of some big doom riffs, please drop your 2025 doom metal recommendations below

It was very special to work with six brilliant, thoughtful Indigenous writers — Michelle Good, Julian Brave NoiseCat, Eva Jewell, Janelle Lapointe, Anna McKenzie and Riley Yesno — on this series about truth and reconciliation, in print & online for @thewalrus.ca. thewalrus.ca/truth-and-re...

It’s #MythBustingMonday. Today’s myth: “Multiple vaccines at once will overload a child’s immune system.” This idea is popular with anti-vaccine groups and also POTUS. But immunology, decades of research, and real-world data all say the same thing: it’s false. 🧵

Watching the replies get shorter and snippier as the email chain between administrators from different departments, trying to figure out who f*d up and when, gets longer #academicsky

More evidence of the huge individual & societal benefit of the e-bike rebate - and it cost almost nothing! Tell the province to bring it back visionzerovancouver.ca/2024/09/22/b...

Welp, I guess it's time to relaunch our 2018 "Reproduction Causes Autism" t-shirt campaign—because anyone claiming otherwise is selling something, and/or holding a major US government position. Proceeds to benefit @autisticadvocacy.org. www.bonfire.com/reproduction... #autism #neurodiversity

It speaks so loud that there's a large bunch of loudmouths tying themselves in knots over some infected ostriches while things like this are happening. They'll see birds as people before seeing anybody not lily white as human.

We started with 32, nominated by you. We're down to TWO intersections in the Worst Intersection in Metro Vancouver finals! Main & 7th & Kingsway? Or No. 3 Rd & Sea Island Way & Bridgeport Rd? Only one can emerge victorious. Vote now! visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/09/23/w...

Last week ABC's Brian Montague engaged in some seriously unprofessional conduct at city council. This is just a clip of a larger series of interruptions. This sorts of bullying shouldn't be tolerated in civic business.

this is the solution to the male loneliness epidemic I am 100% serious

Acetaminophen/paracetamol use in pregnancy doesn't cause autism, no matter what RFK says this week. This is not an unsettled question. Evidence summarized here: sciencebasedmedicine.org/tylenol-and-...

@nmercad.bsky.social I found some good news for you www.nhl.com/penguins/new...

It's your last chance to vote in the Worst Intersection in Metro Vancouver semifinals! Main & 7th vs Boundary & Grandview. No 3 Road & Bridgeport vs Brunette & Braid. Vote now! visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/09/09/w...

Vancouver! Look at all the things you can now report on van311.ca and the Van311 app! Obstructions of all sorts! PARKED CARS. #BikeYVR

The BC Climate Solution's annual report is now posted on the govt website. 🧵 - BC has huge economic advantages in a decarbonizing world, but investors require consistency and predictability of climate policies. - Kudos to BC for expanding renewable electricity. /1 www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/...

We had the pleasure to interview @lucymaloney.bsky.social about road safety for the Paper Rag zine! Here's a sneak peak. There are no digital copies; if you want to read more, buy it in person (Book Warehouse on Main carries them) or subscribe to them to support: www.patreon.com/PaperRag

Hi Canadian friends! Want to help prevent what’s happening to science south of our border from happening here?? Hope the answer is YES… Assuming it is, it took me about 2 mins to fill out and send this pre written letter #ArmchairActivism #AcademicSky 🇨🇦 🧪

Wait, Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk were not the same person? 🤯

The way everybody's carrying on you'd think it was JC who just died

This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.” It existed yesterday and is gone today.

Off-putting that CBC platformed Charlie Kirk’s widow’s lengthy video message tonight, about continuing his “mission” even more aggressively, without comment on how repugnant much of that mission was. And who are the “they” who killed him she referenced? The even more extreme alt-right “Groypers?”

Somewhere an ultra-groyper is furious that this guy used chopsticks

Or as yob put it explicitly... roadburn.bandcamp.com/album/live-a...

There has apparently been a pug getting around in Chatsworth because there's a pug/cattle dog mix and a pug/schnauzer mix for adoption. I love a pug 'n stuff.

🚨 Important call to action! (1/5) 🚨 A vote on Stanley Park is coming to the Park Board on Sept 15. The staff report calls for working with TransLink to bring bus service around the park (great!!) but no bike lane, despite it being the favourite option among respondents. Report linked here:

They’re doubling down and claiming ignorance. Send them an email and call them out! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It would be great if some of the subplots came together

I want to believe but I'm afraid they'll get their funding cut because a track somewhere is pink or another "woke color"

We still have a few spots available! If you're a newer or lapsed curler, or just need an excuse to be out of the house on Wednesday nights, think of us! #vancouver #curling

We started with 32, we're down to 8! Last round, two different matchups were decided by under ten votes. Make sure your voice is heard in the Worst Intersection in Metro Vancouver Quarterfinals! visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/09/02/w...

Here's a callout: Do you drive your kid to school, but would you prefer to be able to put them on a school bus? If so, I'd love to chat with you.

🗣️ Do you know how Google Ads work? Google gives nonprofits like us $10,000 in free ads (great!) But we don't know how to implement them (sad!) We're looking for a volunteer that can help us out. If you have any experience, please reach out: [email protected]

It's nice that Stephen Miller lets him have hobbies

There are a LOT of close races in round 2, but none closer than this. Don't miss out, make sure your vote is heard! visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/08/25/w...

Hey everyone who signed the letter about increasing funding for research in Canada, you can fill in this consultation and write in "Double Tri-council funding to help secure Canadian Research Sovereignty" as an option under "other" for the first question...

It's like choosing between my children

No more delays, no more excuses. It's time to put in these bus lanes now. youtu.be/E7bxteb6xg0?...

We're so excited to be hosting @thewaroncars.bsky.social podcast hosts Doug Gordon and Sarah Goodyear for a conversation about their new book, Life After Cars! 6:30pm, Sat Nov 8th, Downtown Vancouver visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/08/01/life-after-cars/

Having several giant gashes on the bottom of my foot (stepped on/slid down a crusty underwater rock) is uncomfortable but really cool from a wound-healing perspective

As our kids go #BackToSchool, never forget that we ARE the traffic that we’re afraid of. If more kids walked, biked or rode transit to school, it would erase a massive number of car trips each day, and our kids would be safer, healthier and better at school. HT Ian Lockwood. Spread the word.
