Let’s raise @mdbass.bsky.social call for a #kamloops sobering centre with the province again. We don’t want to be the IIOBC’s next investigation of a jailhouse death.

Today, Reid Hamer-Jackson could rightly be called B.C.‘s most notorious local politician, whose string of scandals has helped inspire the province to consider rewriting the rule book for mayors and councillors. @tyolsen.bsky.social and Kristen Holliday report. #bcpoli

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Israel needs to go the way of Rhodesia. A failed ethnostate, an embarrassing stain on history, and hopefully a lesson learned.

Watch to the end 😭

Kinda wild Apple will kick ICEBlock out of the App Store on safety grounds but the Saudi government app that lets men track women (their “property”) and control their travel is fully allowed even after the Human Rights Watch AND members of the Senate begged them to ban it.

A 72 year old woman in Edgewood, B.C. is doused in gasoline and punched in the face. RCMP say the suspect was associated with the protest camp at Universal Ostrich Farms and was arrested. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

The people at this ostrich farm are the same gang that opposed M-103, co-opted yellow vests, push UN / WEF conspiracies, opposed lockdowns, face masks and vaccines, occupied Ottawa, harassed people at drag story time events etc It’s all the same far-right influencers and content creators every time

From the beginning, I was absolutely baffled as to why Rebel News Obergruppenfuhrer Ezra Levant was so obsessed with a bunch of avian flu-stricken ostriches ... and now it all makes sense. Grifters gonna grift. www.pauljhenderson.com/ostrich-farm...

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

That is a lot of restrictions and monitoring imposed on Mike Hart, MD. No ketamine treatment, no testosterone prescribing, no iv infusions Maybe he needs to go back on Joe Rogan to talk about the authoritative medical regime in Canada

Kneecap was never actually banned from Canada and the Liberal MP who announced it has GONE ROGUE?????? What the fuck!!!! This is unhinged!!!!

Terrorism case against Kneecap rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh thrown out

1. Shout out to @neilhegarty.bsky.social for the kindness of sending me a copy of his debut novel. I do enjoy getting a package from back home. The hospital in the foreground is where my father, a general surgeon trained at Queen's in Belfast, practiced for his career.

Elenore Sturko kicked out of BC Conservative caucus, says it's time for John Rustad to resign (BC)

While Kneecap’s rise to prominence has clearly troubled the Liberal party, Vince Gasparro’s claim that the band glorifies terrorist organizations is an obvious smokescreen meant to divert the public’s attention from the band’s steadfast support of the Palestinian people. @enda-b.bsky.social writes.

Disney has lost nearly $4 Billion in three days from combined stock price collapse and cancelled subscriptions.

So happy that our local Canadian cheer gym is avoiding Florida, the US and #Disney this year and going to compete in #Mexico this year #NoDisney #ICU

The thing is, the government really had no choice. Kneecap has vocally supported groups on the list of terror organizations. Which is exactly why smart people have been saying for years that listing terror organizations, and automatically criminalizing any speech around them, is wrong.

We are not immune to censorship in Canada

oh I don’t think he did that to himself Bluesky

@neilhegarty.bsky.social Just finished the excellent The Story of Ireland at the end of a brief visit. We immigrated to British Columbia; I was intrigued to read about Fenian raids into BC, but I haven’t been able to find any details of anything West of Manitoba

Keep PoiLIEvre out of Parliament.

1/ Respiratory protection (including respirators) The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has released CSA Z94.4, a draft revision of its standard on respirators and respiratory protection. For the first time they are including healthcare settings in the new draft standard.

Went to a beautiful valley in Iceland that was fucked over by Justin Bieber filming an environmentally destructive video there.

Why yes it is! So in 2025 this is apparently the type of guy that New York Times contributors are going out of their way to rush to defend.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

There were 29 law enforcement officers who were arrested, pled guilty and/or were sentenced to prison for child sex crimes in the month of June.

If you had a 15 year old who said this to you and seemed to believe it, you’d be up all night panicking about what it’s going to cost you in tutors to get them into the 2nd-to-last ranked public university in your state.
