I wonder how they intend to enforce a takedown order in Canada. Carney better not be stupid and ask Canadian providers to take the segment down.

I know there are probably valid reasons for this but taking the basketball nets down at McDonald Park but these courts would be full of kids & young adults playing basketball if the nets were up. The pickleball nets are still up and most of those people playing come from outside of the neighborhood

Can confirm: Pulled 60 Minutes “Inside CECOT” segment on the El Salvador mega prison housing hundreds of Venezuelan deportees sent by the U.S. is on Global TV’s free app

This is very well said. Words matter and who speaks the words matter. When someone in power uses slurs, it really matters.

JD Vance has made it clear he's on the side of bigotry...

I don't think it's too early to say this- Canucks won the Hughes trade...

I know @castanetkamloops.net doesn't write this drivel but not one mention in this article about how Kirk was a racist and a bigot.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

This is awful. The City's lack of response is troubling but I find it unconscionable that a pet owner would keep a dog that attacked a child - absolutely appalling

There are many reasons oppose BC’s plan to expand involuntary drug treatment. Not everything could be covered in a single statement. Today, let’s talk about some of the evidence + ethical implications of co-opting caring professionals + requiring them to violate their professional ethics. #bcpoli

How long till Alberta separatists use this as another lame excuse to push separatism? Kudos to Skate Canada for taking a principled stand - nice to see this in our country. Too bad Hockey Canada would never dream of doing something like this.

I'm part of the way thru 'Life After Cars' and I'm feeling sad that Kamloops City Council struggles to find money for bike lanes and other infrastructure but can rubber stamp $20M to add a level of parking to the Arts Centre to store cars with nary a debate.

Imagine that the greatest public funder of science has decided not to do that anymore and you were their neighbour to the north—the obvious thing to do would be to massively increase funding and adopt a leadership role. But we are Canada—and we think 19th-c extraction is the road to prosperity

When the best women's hockey player in the world, possibly in history, goes out of her way to wreck a player multiple times, it's about more than a couple social media likes. Marie-Philip Poulin destroying Britta Curl-Salemme repeatedly. MPP is not a dirty player, this is clearly personal.

FFS - $1400 fine for killing someone with a car? I know this guy probably didn't mean to do it, but not even a driving ban? This is another example of how you can do pretty much with a vehicle...

I can't imagine that Fifa won't finad a way to accommodate the bigotry of Iran and Egypt here given their history of always being on the wrong side of things... www.tsn.ca/soccer/fifa-...

Pretty obvious what's happening here - Big Pencil hasn't provided enough bribes to the Trump family so he's taking it out on them...

What a f'n twat.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Overall Biden was a great president but his two major mistakes that are having disastrous consequences for the world was not arming Ukraine to the teeth to be aggressive against Russia and not prosecuting Trump to the fullest extent possible.

I think this is my best essay on this topic (maybe my best essay). I'd like you to read it, if you haven't.

My poll question would be 'Should @castanetkamloops.net stop wasting digital ink on dumb divisive ideas from a fringe party that didn't exist when its MLAs were elected?'.

I'm watching the Vegas-Chicago NHL game and Carter Hart is playing and I'm thinking some messed up journalist is going to nominate him for the Bill Masterton trophy awarded for perseverance in the face of adversity. That's how pathetic the hockey community is.

“I just have concerns about fairness in sport”… okay and so let’s close every sport academy, ban travel sports below the age of 13, and ban paid coaches for youth sports if we’re all so concerned about “fairness”

What is wild to me is that a lot of people are talking about the second strike as being illegal when the first strike is also illegal.

The whole anti-DEI thing is predicated on making sure that awful people with mediocre talent can still get a better than equal chance to be wealthy, often at the expense of trans people. Riley Gaines was an unremarkable swimming talent that leveraged anti-trans rhetoric to become wealthy

He's going to kill so many people and we're powerless to stop it. One of the most vile humans currently wandering around this watery rock.

This might be the most Nelson story ever. Like you could take the name of the town out of the story and ask people where it would take place and most people who know anything about Nelson would say Nelson. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

we have to get out of this framing that the hard right has a point about immigration numbers, but they're saying it in a mean & racist way even if they weren't racist at all (& they very much are), what they are calling for is still national suicide

i think we have to get off the defensive on immigration it's not just necessary, it's good! - & the easier it is, the greater its benefits

I live in the McDonald Park neighbourhood. We haven't had a new sidewalk in 20 years so the least Council could do is invest some money to slow cars down so it's a bit safer for me to walk to the park with my kid. For the $20M we are spending on KCA parking, we could build a lot of sidewalks

What a bunch of drivel...

The stupid thing about what Carney did is that it will never satisfy Alberta - their political leadership is insatiable so why give in to their whining? Also, from a pure political perspective, it will not gain the Liberals a single seat in Alberta but will definitely lose them several seats in BC.

I'm not interested in "I told you so." A lot of people voted Liberal because they were terrified of Poilievre and his gang. I get that. But Carney's who we got, he's being a weak leader, pushing policies that are harming the vast majority of us and it's time to just admit he sucks and push back.

Lots of space for the NDP and Green Party to become nationally relevant again with the direction the Liberals are going.

I usually defend my urban planner brethren and feel that a lot of criticisms directed to planners are really misdirected but listening to this old planner from the Vancouver rail against density and realize that in some instances, I am wrong to defend them

I will believe in the end of identity politics when steel and lumber (28,000 jobs and 105,000 jobs respectively) stop getting bailouts, while higher education (310,000 jobs) collapses in front of our eyes because it's full of ivory tower elites

Like so much with the mayor, there is often a tiny piece of rationality (e.g. Council should be questioning rising costs and whether it makes sense to pay $20M for parking) surrounded by incomprehensible irrationality (e.g. we should move the arts centre to beside the water treatment plant).

Denmark has its own version of the 60s Scoop complete with (misguided) science to cover for their blatant racism. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Yeah, this is bad but is nothing compared to the enormous corruption Trump is engaged in.

I see One BC is doing some real productive work here...idiots.

The only sane answer is yes...

I'm a big supporter of this project but it sure reads like we are paying $550k/stall to get more parking which is a bit tough to swallow.

There are lots of reprehensible creatures in Trump's orbit and Hoekstra is one of them. When Trump is finally deposed, I can't wait to show this guy the door. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Let’s be clear on this: Danielle Smith is ripping up the Charter of Rights & Freedoms to take away rights from the most vulnerable people in Alberta. And she’s doing it to protect herself from the militant wing of her own party, nothing more. Hope it’s all she’s ever remembered for in the long run

This is what's at stake. The UCP is not only dodging its responsibility to explain how Bill 9 is in any way proportionate or justifiable in a free and democratic society. They are putting children at far greater risk of suicide.

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi. But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile. Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open. Cretin behavior.
