Hey, remember when we realized that drinking and driving was bad and then all the car manufacturers installed wet bars?

This season, Victoria will see 330+ cruise ships arrive. There are 60 days this season with 3 or 4 ships in port. Get all your breathing done now, folks, as the Polluting for Profit Armada will be with us until Oct 18. You'll hear 'think of the money' but remember the cost to the community.

That’ll fix it. If there’s one thing we know it’s that when the government cuts the taxes on gas, the oil companies keep the price low for consumers. In BC, when the carbon tax was eliminated, gas stayed low and that’s why prices are….wait…hold on…I’m being told this may not be the case…

Yeah he was an abuser. Full stop.

I hear you. I’ve been squeezed out and verbally assaulted riding my cargo bike along Admirals Road, to the extent that I hesitate to get on my bike sometimes. It doesn’t have to be this way.

I prefer a park myself. 🤷‍♀️

Shitty conservatives crossing the floor to become liberals is mostly just confirming that the 2026 liberals might as well be conservatives.

Bike washing day, and new sticker for the cargo bike. Grandbaby will love it.

Yeah but what does “sustainable” mean anyway? In my experience it means sustaining profits while giving the appearance of sustaining the environment…it’s pretty much a meaningless buzzword at this point.

Went out and bought this from my local bookstore today.

It’s kinda funny that Canada has a left-NIMBY Green Party that gets 1% of the vote and is tied with the conservatives for being the least supportive of high speed rail. very cool

We could've phased out fossil fuels the gradual, smart and painless way starting in the 1990s

The fossil fuel industry decided we have to do it the painful, unfair and cruel way instead. because that gave them an extra few decades of super-profits

Exactly.

Wtf

I never went to any of mine. (small town Saskatchewan) There is only one person I would care to catch up with today, 40 years later. The rest I have mostly forgotten, also for many, many reasons.

LDB workers: Speak out against privatization Will you send a message to your MLA urging them to speak out against plans for private liquor distribution in B.C.?

I can’t believe this has to be done with an NDP government, but it appears the BC gov may be moving towards private liquor distribution- putting provincial revenue and hundreds of union jobs at risk. Tell your MLA you do not approve: bcgeu.good.do/ldb/

I’m no Liberal — but he’s right on this one. Canada is not a theocracy. Stop it, Conservatives.

The sun came out and I put 35km on my cargo bike today doing all my grandmotherly duties. It was glorious, thanks to good bike infrastructure #yyjbike

Local woman wakes up, locks JKR and her terfo fucko buckos in Azkaban guarded by dementors that end up becoming besties with the prisoners and so none of them ever want to leave, makes oatmeal.

@matthewremski.bsky.social listening to your discussion about AI and capitalism on the conspirality podcast - I agree with you: it’s not human nature to exploit. It’s capitalist structure that rewards exploitation, rent-seeking, speculation, and concentration of wealth.

War is delivering what carbon pricing should have at least 20 years ago (when the topic first came up here in BC).

The entire premise of The Pitt is to make every viewer understand the social determinants of health.

Canadian politics everyday right now is just another story of Carney's Liberals doing Harper Conservative policies and going up another five points in the polls.

It's bleak folks

I'm so old I remember when Reagan sold weapons to Iran.

It’s horrific that we talk about living individual beings in this way, let alone treat them like this.
