Not the blue wave I was hoping for. The world is rejecting Conservatives. Now it's time to reject PINOs. Progressives In Name Only. The world needs less @davidebybc.bsky.social and more @emilylowan.bsky.social. #canpoli #cdnpoli #bcpoli

They gave us the peyote and kratom back!
Three years later, VPD returns some items seized in 2023 raid on our mushroom dispensaries. Trashed ATM, framed blotter art sheets, boxes of documents. The remnants of "Operation Toadstool." I spent a few hours in jail, but no charges & we reopened the next day. They still have tons more stuff.

We have the technology to leave fossil fuels in the past. All that is lacking is political will.
After 142 Years, Britain’s electricity system has reached a historic milestone: 2025 was the first full calendar year in which GB generated no electricity from #coal, marking the end of an era that began during the Industrial Revolution. #DonaldTrump #KatharinaReiche #Renewables #ClimateEmergency

"C-39 would “codify and structure” ministerial powers under Section 107 to prevent or end strikes, which “could alter the balance of bargaining power between unions and employers in federally regulated industries, particularly where workers’ ability to withhold their labour is their" main leverage!
C-39 is a Harperesque multi-pronged attack. 👇 "Behind it, however, is a long-term, no-holds-barred struggle with environmentalists, First Nations, and labour, who won’t be universally prepared to welcome government expediting its agenda and rolling over to the free market in the name of urgency."

I hope smooth operations at the police academy’s gymnasium are able to recover from the scrambling imposed by the mayor playing basketball.
New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...
If this is yours, @wickedwitchofpnw.bsky.social , it's awesome and thank you. If it's someone else's, could you credit them? It'd be cool to find more of their work. Also, please use alt text.
#bcpoli BC Conservatives are a populist political hydra. Which of the nine heads will emerge the victor? - Climate Change Denier - White Supremacist - Flu Klux Klansman - Religious Zealot - Pro-Life Propagandist - Privatization Promoter - LGBTQ2+ Bigot - FN Rights Repealer - Separatist Sanctioner

One of my favourite summer jobs was working at my local national park while I was in college. It was heartbreaking to see and hear stories of how funding had been slashed over the decades... our parks play such important natural, cultural, economic, and social roles. They hold so much potential.
At least $50 billion for another pipeline. $82 billion in new military spending in 5 years. $300 billion in corporate welfare and mega incentives at an investment summit. But the cupboard is bare for Parks Canada.

There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now
It is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

Well knock me over with a feather: Black Press has published an article in favour of proportional representation. It admits that the election results do not reflect the popular vote. That we have to keep going over this is like Groundhog Day albernivalleynews.com/2026/10/26/b... #bcpoli

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
People, I beg you: this is ahistorical, bigoted and insane. RFK needs to swallow his tongue.

Maybe this makes me a bad journalist but I’m coming around to the idea that we should just tell everyone the results once everything is counted the next day
Quick reminder: As of right now, the result of the election is locked in. Politicians don't "pull ahead" or "catch up." It's just the arbitrary way that the ballots are counted and reported.
