Here’s a photo of @seanorr.bsky.social live-skeeting yesterday. I think this was before he went blind and his thumbs seized up #vanpoli

A city councillor live-posted today’s “unofficial filibuster” of speakers opposed to budget cuts in Vancouver to deliver a property tax freeze for homeowners (the councillor is opposed to the proposed budget) #vanpoli

I'm dropping in to Vancouver city council today and can't live-skeet everything, but it's worth noting that there are currently over 600 speakers signed up to speak to the budget, which proposes finding $120 in savings to support a 0% property tax increase. #vanpoli

I was catching up on some reading on why the U.S. government shutdown is happening and realized that a similar conflict in Canada over the budget would lead to the government falling and an election being called.

I’m honestly shocked that this story from @globalnews.ca has flown under the radar. Confirmation that Amit Shah, the second-most powerful man in the Indian government, was directly involved in the assassinations on Canadian soil. globalnews.ca/news/1151469...

From @michellegamage.bsky.social: Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum have been found guilty of drug trafficking, after they operated a compassion club in the midst of a deadly overdose crisis. The conviction is suspended as their lawyers start a constitutional challenge. thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

Supreme Court of Canada's "ruling clarified that people who make a potentially life-saving call — along with the people who are overdosing and others at the scene — are protected from being arrested or charged for drug possession, even if police [..] see drugs." #Canada #Courts #Drugs #Policing

Let me tell you about the time I was held by US Customs and had my passport seized because my presentation and the way I packed did not match my ID. And this was during the "friendly" time of Obama. It'll be much worse now

@steveburgess53.bsky.social: The main thing is that by participating in the Eurovision Song Contest, we will indicate Canada is turning toward Europe and away from Trump’s America. We do not join in on “51st State of Mind.” Our tune is more like “50 Ways to Leave Your Neighbour.” 🎤🎶

The Carney government announced its first federal budget for Canada, but didn’t include much in terms of Indigenous priorities. APTN’s Fraser Needham has the full announcement.

What exactly are Americans voting for tonight? Like, everything… all at once?

budget.canada.ca/2025/report-... While there are a couple hundred mentions of Indigenous people, it's all genuflection - little substantial. Look past this fiscal year, and it's all zeroes... where do they think we're going?

Only as I prepared to head to Merritt to take photos of the cemetery in question did I learn my own grandpa was buried in the marmot-ravaged graveyard.

The Vancouver Police Department has already gone $17 million over budget. Now they're asking for a $50 million increase. The park board, meanwhile, is bracing for $15 million in cuts. #vanpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
