Reminder, we had great turn out for the municipal elections the week before. This says something about how apathetic NDP voters felt. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

What the fuck does this mean? The Socreds were in power when I moved here in 1989. The BC ”Liberals” were a conservative government. The *current* ”Conservative“ party isn’t the same one as any previous one. Be serious, ffs.

Why Colleen? Why would you publish this?
“Vancouver, grow up.” Video by Bob Mackin of Colleen Hardwick last night insulting the intelligence of anyone who voted for Ken Sim four years ago or Pete Fry now. I wonder if her base will ever change their opinions on whether this rhetoric has been an effective way of expanding her support.
ABC realizes that they're going to lose *everything* this election. Now they're pandering to a niche of terrible drivers who can't navigate around a barrier in the hope that it might bring in enough votes to win them a seat or two. It's hilariously pathetic.
This is a HUGE red flag for transportation in Vancouver. Ken Sim is vowing to repeal Gregor Robertson's 2017 delegation of authority to the chief engineer on road allocation. This would mean that every single bike lane and traffic calming scheme has to go to council for a public hearing and vote.

In rejecting safety upgrades for Mountain Highway, Clr Forbes said the district "doesn’t need to go for the gold standard of road safety right away, and lose a lane of traffic on an already congested street." www.nsnews.com/in-the-commu...

Bonus: I know I've already said they lie, but Doug Lamont does a great job of explaining the ways that the Fraser Institute uses fallacies and deception when presenting their data. dougaldlamont.substack.com/p/the-fraser...

both actively working with them to cast F.U.D. on the risks of smoking in the 90s... web.archive.org/web/20100811...
#3 They openly lie. For example, when they claimed that Ontario would be paying cap and trade AND carbon tax. Or when they published bogus tax calculations in the Toronto Sun. pressprogress.ca/yup_the_toro...
#1 The Fraser Institute has a long history of climate change denial, including this piece by noted climate change denialist Ross McKitrick, which states that there has been "no statistically significant temperature change for the past 15 to 20 years": web.archive.org/web/20150329...
#2 They're part of the Atlas Network, the shadowy dark money network run by the Koch Brothers. Not only do they receive significant amount of funding from the Kochs, but they were cofounded by Antony Fisher, who founded the Atlas Network. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraser_...

While Canada may be promoting fossil fuels, much of the world and our potential buyers are moving on. Communities and the climate pay a high toll when industry sticks to pollution instead of building renewables for all. Take note, @mark-carney.bsky.social.

I know someone who was hit by a driver running a stop sign and had considerable injuries and the ICBC ghouls tried to bill him for damage to the car. No fault is basically a victim punishment scam and it should be abolished.
This is absolutely unbelievable and unacceptable. No fault must cover damages, and the idea that ICBC will just up and deny them immediately shows how it serves only to protect ICBC and not provide for Canadians who have been struck. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibv4...

Folding on life-saving measures is bad — folding on them because *Ken Sim* asked you to is worse. When will the cowardice of the BC NDP end?
