Exclusive | OpenAI Employees Raised Alarms About Canada Shooting Suspect Months Ago The ChatGPT maker opted against informing Canadian authorities about Jesse Van Rootselaar’s descriptions of violence last June.

The Tumbler Ridge shooter had used OpenAI to discuss scenarios involving gun violence.

It was bad enough to get flagged and reviewed by employees, who warned the company & suggested alerting law enforcement.

The company said No.

This tragedy could have been prevented.

Gut wrenching.

B.C.’s Pattison says ICE warehouse sale won’t proceed A company owned by British Columbia billionaire Jimmy Pattison says it will not be selling a Virginia warehouse to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which planned to use the site as an Immigra...

Organizing works! This is a win for public pressure, and a message about the moral clarity Canadians want from politics right now.

Now we need legislation to ban all Canadian companies from contracting with ICE or otherwise supporting Trump's kidnapping and deportation machine.

I’m officially scared.

Because of this ONE tweet being afraid of potential reverberations of right wing political violence from this — something many others have said — I’m now the first result on a website called “charliesmurderers.”

This is putting me in genuine danger.

What the fuck do I do

It seems like parcels will require a declaration ID to prove that duties have been paid, though I can't find how that's meant to work.

It feels bad even being attached to the U.S. geographically (not to mention in terms of so much trade, intelligence sharing etc) right now. Canada has a lot of issues but Jesus Christ the U.S. is fucked. really wish we had a better neighbour!!!!!

I have never been in a car to Granville Island, I’ve always walked from elsewhere on the seawall or taken a bus - typically the 50.

Should we do better? Sure - but there are definitely other options already.

My heart is shattered for the Filipino community after the horrific attack at the Lapu-Lapu Festival tonight. After a day of so much joy and community, to have violence be the last word is impossible.

I'm a progressive for life. I've always wanted us to build a fair, equitable, inclusive society that puts people before profit, offering quality social services for all (including universal healthcare!). That's why I'm proud to volunteer for @avilewis.bsky.social. (1/3)

Tonight was Dear Rouge at the Commodore Ballroom. 3rd time I’ve seen them - the first time being when they opened for Metric a few years back.

WE DID IT! We SAVED the bus!

TransLink's 2025 Investment Plan is out, and it confirms that our collective efforts have paid off: no bus cuts until 2027 and a 5% increase in bus service starting this September!
