Flat as a pancake!

Here is the second in the series: the proactive, evidence-based, and compassionate response #NewWest undertook to address the “Three Crises” impacting urban cities across Canada. www.newwestcity.ca/crises-respo...

Looking back at 2025, here is the first in my Top 10 (in no particular order) #NewWest accomplishments for 2025.

@mark-carney.bsky.social the government caved on the digital tax, border security & reciprocal tariffs. they now want supply management. surprise, surprise. i have no faith on how this government ’negotiates’.

Did my stock up at Dan's Diner in #NewWest. 9 containers of soup/pasta/chili. We get 2 meals out of the pasta and chili, so there's 12 meals for us for $5.41 / ea meal. Should've grabbed some cookies too. They are gooood. Learn about the program here: danslegacy.com

@mark-carney.bsky.social and Premier Smith are going to learn the hard way. #nopipelines #bc www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Toxic rhetoric online isn't new, but when political leaders indulge violent language directed at local elected colleagues, it's a failure at most basic level of democracy. Politicians have a moral obligation to call our (not hug out) their supporters when they cross that line. Do better. ⬇️thread

Hey Bluesky followers who think that local gov't should do things to make the city better, like vote FOR affordable housing, FOR active transportation, FOR renter protections etc: come to a little fundraiser on Thursday & meet some like-minded #NewWest folks! www.communityfirstnw.ca/burgers_beve...

@mark-carney.bsky.social one word: weak.

Yes, this is how they marketed a lump of chocolate filled with goo and a maraschino cherry in the 1970's. Clearly there were psychedelics involved... www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YMV...
