the fun thing about working in small market news is I have hundreds of bylines like this and there's nothing I can do about it.

Got the reduced sugar mini wheats because it's healthier and I regret to inform you the best part of mini wheats is in fact the giant glob of frosting on the wheat.

Compromise has no place at the breakfast table.

"Eric seriously nows not the time--" "I honestly forgot he existed, but up until last week he had a morning zoo-style livestream, with the epic meal time guy and a bunch of other people i have never heard of? Of course the affair put an end to that."

"Eric I don't know what youre talking about. Who's mayor?" "Well I'll tell you who is not mayor, anyone on that podcast. He dressed his wife and mistress up as thing one and thing two, what the hell"

How did the youtuber that wore a pink morph suit and shrieked at people in the park manage to have the best outcome out of all of those guys?

"Eric polls are closing--" "I mean his name was filthy frank and now he just makes sad, pretty music. He's not bothering anybody"

I'm not in the business of making predictions on election night but I think we're all hoping for a big night for Ed Gong.

David Eby after calling an early election to take advantage of an opponent the same year as municipal elections, losing to a party with an interim leader, putting conservatives in power for the first time in 100 years in BC, and stepping down as leader.

Truly an elections masterclass we'll be talking about for years.

BC NDP calling early election (2026)

Everything else aside, losing to such an embattled version of the BC Conservative party in such a massive fashion is still a fascinating turn of events for that party that loses all the time.

Thank you for calling me young

Remember when Elon did the hitler salute and a bunch of people said "no he didn't actually" and that confused enough people long enough that everyone sort of dropped it because more bad things and nonsense kept happening? Should have probably got him in trouble for doing that.

Inventions used to change the world. People would create things like lava lamps or jelly beans and everyone would gaze in wonder. Now all people seem to make are plagiarism machines and apps that accidentally reinvented pizza delivery.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

like sure lots is worse, but when everything was slightly less bad I thought everything was completely pointless and nothing mattered. I have fixed that, now I only think that many things are completely pointless.

Martin Luther King was much more successful than Malcolm X for example. Before that, there was no need for a bloody civil war in most countries that abolished slavery. Just votes. Independence can also be bloodless. Gandhi in India, Walesa in Poland, Mandela in South Africa. The list is long.

@emmaarkell.bsky.social

After a reader reached out with questions about BC’s primary care provider waitlist, I went looking for data that would shed some light on the system, since the gov doesn’t voluntarily provide much info. I found data in an FOI response showing some residents are on the waitlist for 5+ years.

Story has been updated with more back story and the surveillance stills captured at the scene. Also, for the record, Progress Report and Press Progress are not the same thing.

ugh they're going to be like, "you're the guys who vandalized the nazi monument and reported on it." And I'll be like, "No that's the guy who used to be at the Progress Report." And they'll be like "oh I thought you were Press Forward" And then I'll say, "No, we're also not Progress Toronto."
