The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth. Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it. Every single time.

It's after midnight and COPE is still posting. This is serious. Vancouver needs you.

DULF co-founders Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum were found guilty of possession with the intent to traffic this morning for meth, heroin and cocaine. My full story on @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

"There were forty-seven members in the compassion club, and zero deaths occurred among members during the year that the site operated. Since the site was raided and shut down by Vancouver police, at least two members have reportedly died."

3 MPs have now quit on Pierre Poilievre: Alain Rayes to sit as an Independent; d’Entremont to the Liberals; Jeneroux to leave the House. #cdnpoli

Sad that Victoria’s looking to get rid of the bike valet that has over 11,000 annual visits and reduces theft when its annual budget is only 0.2% of police budget or 6 taxpayer funded parties hosted by the police... #yyjpoli #yyjbike #yyj #victoriabc

🧵The Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Science and Research has put forward a motion to release ALL data in relation to federal research funding applications. This motion was put forward by conservative MPs who are skeptical of funding being allocated "fairly."

never watched a baseball game before in my life, are they all like this

cheknews.ca/this-woman-w... Happening in Victoria... family comes as temporary workers, does everything right, mom gets sick, application to stay denied now forced to leave canada, losing medical care and likely the mom's life. These people are part of our community.

On Oct 21, I wrote to the Minister of Fisheries & Oceans urging the return of the Ghost Gear Fund—cut in Budget 2024 despite proven success cleaning marine debris & creating local jobs. Canadians deserve leadership on ocean protection. Our planet deserves no less. Sign petiton here: bit.ly/47yGXVo

This kind of arbitrary power is frankly terrifying, and the Liberals saying "just trust us" does not inspire confidence, particularly because I trust a future government even less than this crew.

We can't get smug, no.matter how horrible things are in usa

“The takeover deal cleared a major regulatory milestone earlier this month with Ottawa approving the sale under the Investment Canada Act, which considers whether foreign investments would be a net benefit to the country or cause potential harm to national security.” wtf

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

CBS News has reportedly disbanded its race and culture unit, which was formed in the wake of George Floyd's murder in 2020 NBC News eliminated its editorial teams for NBC Asian America, NBC BLK, NBC Latino and NBC OUT earlier this month

Canada is about to lose the Measles elimination status it has held since 1998, tallied more than 5,000 cases this year. Approximately 40% of people who contract Measles are hospitalized, & for some it can be fatal, notably unvaccinated children. #cdnpoli #Canada 🇨🇦 #CanadaSky #VaccinesWork

“If you’re wondering how the public ends up funding a documentary that denies residential school harms, well, it’s part of the more than $650,000 OneBC automatically received after MLAs Dallas Brodie and Tara Armstrong left the BC Conservative party and formed their own new party earlier this year.”

The Charter of Rights is foundational to 🇨🇦's democracy & national vision of fairness & due process. Decades of cases have confirmed its value to labour rights. Danielle Smith takes a big step toward authoritarianism, tossing it aside for fiscal & political convenience. #canlab

This is why they ban books. Mustn't let in truth.

We are at the point where Danielle Smith would rather violate charter rights and create a constitutional crisis… Instead of paying teachers fairly and giving kids the classrooms they need. Read that again. Because this is where we are. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

When you pay attention to the tons of evidence showing that immigrants commit fewer crimes, you see that the problem isn't immigrants. The problem is the people blaming immigrants and spreading lies and stereotypes about them .

Congrats to everyone who worked to make this victory possible! Overdoses should never be opportunities for arrests and expanded repression.

Canada’s spy agency now shares intel with corporations — thanks to a push from one of the country’s biggest oil and gas firms. Our reporter Zak Vescera explains. #cdnpoli

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Kicking people out of their homes and off the land is white supremacy culture, not Indigenous cultures. Apparently there is no maximum number of times Indigenous leadership needs to say that they're not kicking anyone out of their home. #bcpoli #landback

Critical minerals have long been touted as the key to the global energy transition because they’re used in everything from EV batteries to solar panels and wind turbines. They’re also essential to the production of military equipment. @amandafollett.bsky.social reports. #uspoli #bcpoli

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

I often urge law students to be precise when and where they use passive language, and to notice the work it does when used by others (judges, politicians, reporters, and anyone describing actions being done without actors). This is a great, but awful, example.

When Canadian Press reporter Wolfgang Depner asked Rustad if he was paranoid, Rustad said no. While the scrum was still underway Rustad’s chief of staff, Brad Zubyk, called it a “bullshit question” and said the reporter would be barred from asking questions in the future. thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

The anti-immigrant scapegoating works to divide working people & distract them & make working people blame immigrants instead of the billionaires & their #CPC friends. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #abpoli #onpoli #polqc #nspoli #nbpoli #skpoli #mbpoli #nlpoli #nwt #ytpoli #nunavut #peipoli #UCP #IDUPlaybook

There is nothing under international law that prevents people attempting to break an illegal siege of an illegally-occupied territory by a country committing genocide. It is the other way around. These governments are breaking their own public commitments to stop a genocide.

BC’s projected deficit isn’t unprecedented. BC’s debt has increased sharply in recent years, but remains one of the lowest in Canada. BC can manage the fiscal challenge before us if we address its root causes says senior economist @iglikaivanova.bsky.social. #bcpoli bcpolicy.ca/2025/09/...#bcpoli

BC gov showed up 3 hours late to the meeting with BCGEU and then offered 0.5% more than their last offer. How insulting.

The contempt the Eby government has for government workers, along with British Columbian’s, summed up: “BCGEU members waited nearly three hours Monday for government negotiators to arrive, only to receive an offer union leaders say “wasn’t materially different” from the previous one.” #bcpoli #bcndp

A quick reference of American owned newspapers in Canada. #canpoli #cdnpoli

so this is a pretty clear example of why people working on #IndigenousDataSovereignty need to pay more attention to digital infrastructure, software, and enshittification in general. The manufactured hype that "'AI' is gonna save Indigenous languages!" is a distraction from the real dangers we face.

This is what keeps me up at night. How do you sleep at night @mark-carney.bsky.social knowing your government is still sending weapons to Israel to commit genocide in Gaza?
