The year is 2027. Vancouver and Toronto city councils are debating which half baked Canadian robotaxi company to maybe allow in 2029. Meanwhile robotaxis have grown to 40% market share across the US and the Uber driver riots have provided an easy means for ICE to pad deportation quotas.

The subtext of this is the enduring danger of epistemic elites being Too Online, which is the actual thing breaking their brains. You can't be a rich sapient jar of mayonnaise and get obsessed with trans girls in sports without that.

Good news to all loyal members of the People’s Communist Coop of Costco (PCCC), soon the glorious People’s Food Court Downtown Location will be again usable because the freeloading peasant non-members will be banished. Our God given right to a hotdog without undue wait is restored!

I thought it was weirdly fascinating to hear the King read a land acknowledgement during the throne speech. But then shortly later you realize he’s going to read select bits in French too. 😅

The thing about "The Safeway tower doesn't respect the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan" is that the plan was a big waste of time that mostly just preserves the status quo. For example, the "residential character areas" to make sure streets with duplexes near the SkyTrain don't change:

For the record I voted Liberal for the first time in Vancouver East because I’m tired of being in an unearned safe seat. I want a strong NDP but clearly they need to be wiped off the board and purge the head office. Jenny Kwan won’t lose but I hope nimby Don Davies does.
