Kaisers was president of the police union when it endorsed ABC Vancouver in the 2022 election campaign, the first time the police union had done that. And now he's a candidate for them. Nothing insanely unethical or blatantly corrupt there.

The mayor who misses a third of city council votes (double that of his predecessors) and just straight-up stopped going to Metro Vancouver meetings is upset that someone else isn't doing the job he expects them to do.

Nyone see the pattern here? Privatisation was sold to us on the basis that private utilities would be able to do all the things a nationalised industry couldn’t, like raise cash for investment. Nothing about asset stripping and ripping off consumers to pay shareholders.

The trouble with only putting out videos when I'm 1) struck by motivation, 2) physically and mentally able, and 3) have the free time to spend on it, is that it's really rare for that to align

We streamed for 12 hours with 37 guests; we've raised over $130,000 together to support trans rights. Tomorrow I'll be on for another ~hour taking a final shot at the Heart and getting folks fired up for a final push of donations— which are still open! You are all amazing. Thank you so, so much.

I love the outpouring of love for David Lynch. I don't love how many of the people who are remembering him have stopped masking in public. If you've stopped masking, you're why he had to choose to spend his final years isolated at home. I don't know what to do with that anger.
