I was painting a crosswalk yesterday and I sneezed and a cyclist going past in the bike lane yelled “bless youuuu” as he rode by, and that’s the kind of small human interaction you just can’t get in a car

Can't be overstated how fucked up it is that Black folk came up with a word to express people being aware of the oppression of other people and it's now targeted by far right governments globally as something evil that must be destroyed

If Canada is to double the pace of home building—and it should—big cities can't be allowed to continue banning apartments on the vast majority of residential land. Will the new federal government—or any level of govt—finally bring this destructive ban to an end? vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e...

If the almost 1.4 BILLION Catholics of the world, and every other moral person of good will and judgement, really wants to honour the life, leadership and faith of Pope Francis in the wake of his sad passing, they would fight to make LAUDATO SI, his powerful call for climate action, a REAL priority.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

The future of our country is too important to keep leaving to politicians who won a majority with just 40% of the vote. That's why we must demand proportional representation. #cdnpoli #Election2025

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

After asking Eby about Daylight Saving Time, I followed up with a question about BC's tariff response. I was curious if the B.C.'s friendly relationship with Washington State may have tempered its tone in responding to Trump. I wrote this story based on his answer #bcpoli

I don’t know why it shocks me every year to see the traffic go crazy when the school year starts. It’s a good time to reflect on the societal benefits if a) more kids attended their nearest school and b) we took safe routes to school seriously.

Time to turn off the taps. Not a single bottle of American wine, beer or bourbon should be sold anywhere in Canada. From here on in I will only drink "freedom" wines from Canada, France or Spain. As for the beer? It's shit anyways. True. North. Strong. Free. @strongasfuck

B.C.’s LNG expansion is a public health risk. Calvin Sandborn and @drmelissalem.bsky.social highlight how fracking and LNG pollution worsen respiratory illness, heart disease, and climate impacts. To protect our health, we MUST phase out fossil fuels and invest in clean energy.
