I won't tell you what to do but I will tell you that if you take like 1/2 cup of tahini, the juice of 2 lemons, some garlic, and a tsp of honey and put it in a food processor, then put that on a plate, good things can happen vis à vis roasted veggies

The Verge TS Pro would be the world's first production vehicle with solid-state batteries, if the big claims pan out.

More drilling in North Sea ‘not the answer’ for UK energy security, say former military leaders

Under first-past-the-post, politicians use disproportionate majorities built on safe seats and swing ridings to pass massive omnibus bills, bundling unrelated policies into one vote and limiting scrutiny. Proportional representation ensures broader consensus and accountability.

Global events like Iran are rippling into everyday life for Fraser Valley Climate Action members, especially at the gas pump. Many households are feeling that stress right now. Some FVCA members have chosen EVs partly because predictable energy costs help reduce this kind of uncertainty.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Mayor Douglas joined crews yesterday to see how the new electric curbside truck runs and operates. The new truck is now in operation, picking up curbside materials on all routes, replacing one of the old diesel trucks that was at the end of its useful life. Wave if you see us out on your route! 👋

Spring is approaching and today we cracked open our outdoor BBQ with the idea of BBQing dinner! All sorts of hollering and yelling ensued as we chased away two darn big rats who had holed up inside our BBQ for the winter!!! You may want to discuss this issue if we invite you over for dinner!!!!

holy shit

i would be a good politician, except i hate people and new things and a lack of career certainty and hugging people and listening to orders and saying things i don't really believe but are forced to support because of party solidarity so maybe i wouldn't be a good politician

Rhododendron "Christmas Cheer" is just about to open! Abbotsford, B.C. Canada

Vancouver council is meeting today, which means they will once be providing text updates *only* for subscribers of a website under investigation by multiple countries for child exploitation Staff were told by council months ago to post elsewhere, but haven't And they're doing it for 12 accounts

Tuesday, Abby City Council will debate a "Sport Field & Sport Court Strategy". Our population is 160,000 to 180,000 people and all we've got is MRC + ARC. It is startling to compare (google) Coquitlam or New Westminster! I also hate taxes...... but we need a bunch more recreational facilities!!!

This levels the playing field since Canadian taxpayers already subsidize oil and gas. (and I'm not just talking about a $35B pipeline we all own.

Between 2000-24, Canada's population rose by 10.6M, the same as Austria, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Sweden's... combined (total 221M people). Simply importing European housing policy misses this fact.

At my rather advanced age (72) i can't but wonder if this clip doesn't herald some rather unsettling future impacts. (....and i am being very, very gentle with this statement!)

A group of humanoid robots teamed up with young Kung Fu artists for a thrilling martial arts performance at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala in Beijing. The dynamic display featured robots and human masters executing a series of impressive, choreographed stunts and synchronized moves on stage.

At the end of the day, we are all Canadians united together

Feeling a bit guilty...... and honest, I really don't need to know, but tonight I have been asking Google "how to escape zip-tie handcuffs". It is totally fascinating!!

Was discussing professional goals for this year with a peer. Strange to think in those terms given the state of the world, but: - Virtual work with progressive US cities - Return to working more in Australia and New Zealand - Work in new global cities (Japanese cities, Singapore, UK cities) Yours?

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

If Maduro were to escape captivity & return to Venezuela, you know that all the pipeline boosters out there would be saying "The return of Maduro to Venezuela makes a West Coast pipeline especially useful and urgent. We must capitalize now." Whatever the question, the answer will always be the same

10. Tell your elected leaders that you insist on real action on homelessness, starting with actual homes and supportive services…Remember that this is about human values, not property values. Remind them that providing homes for the homeless actually saves us all public money. #HousingFirst

It is time for every citizen of good faith and good conscience to get off X. I am not sure how you can justify contributions to a website that publishes sexualized images of children. I think it’s time to start naming and shaming those who donate their time to give free content to Elon’s X.

Europe and Canada need to move carefully to avoid creating further dangers, but they need to decouple from the US in areas like defence planning, intelligence sharing, and defence procurement.
