Nice guy, curious, asks lots of questions about Metro Vancouver and city planning.

Last question, he asks: “So where we heading the next 20 years?” (meaning which direction, which suburbs, will get the growth)

My answer — “Up.”

Walking is hard

I have come to realize Evangelicals are not Christian. They are an American folk religion that uses trappings of Christianity. They are no more Christian than voodoo. Actually probably less so.

High school attendance drops to 40% in Ontario as government considers changes — Global News The Ford government is currently considering giving students in grades 9 to 12 credit on their final marks if they attend class as part of new legislation.

Oh, chronic absenteeism after the pandemic has risen to over 60% for high school students in Ontario?

That’s because IT’S NOT AFTER THE PANDEMIC

Kids are missing school because they are sick, and this is happening on a global scale.

Good article. It makes me a bit sad that I moved to the Kootenays and I won't get my chance to vote for Pete as mayor.

I'm not sure the writers ever figured out what they wanted from the Miles and Keiko relationship. Which puts me in mind of a few irl couples so maybe they were on point?

Now let's see if it means real world change. Fingers crossed!

Were these raggedy ostrich medical freedom yokels in remote BC about to cure bird flu & dethrone Ozempic? Was the farm really a multi-billion dollar biologics manufacturer disguised as a Maple MAGA convoy separatist squat?

Nah, it was a scam.

It really is. We just had our patio door open until 10:30 this evening but it will get down close to freezing by morning. The swings are wild.

We're already seeing the toys on Kootenay Lake. But the skidoos are still out.

They look amazing so far!

UBC launches world’s first mushroom-powered waterless toilet - News | UBC Applied Science The MycoToilet, developed by a team including UBC School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture Associate Professor Joseph Dahmen, turns human waste into nutrient-rich compost and features a moder...

The idea of a mycelium composting toilet is great. I hope it's as effective as the UBC team says it is. I've had experience with a number of traditional composting toilets and my experience has varied wildly.

Albertans should be asking themselves this right now. The rest of Canada should also consider their answer.

Group claiming to be UBC engineering students takes credit for vehicle suspended near Squamish | CBC News A red, hollowed-out Volkswagen Beetle suspended on a rock face in Squamish, B.C., has the hallmarks of a UBC engineering student prank.

I remember when UBC engineering students used to hang a VW Bug from the underside of the Lions Gate Bridge. In an odd way it's nice to see the tradition back?

The Guardian suddenly circles the drain after pulling their own plug.

Look at oil and gas. Over the last decade the industry has shed about 30% of its workforce, pumped more fossil fuels, and profited while moving the profit offshore. That's a Canadian resource not benefitting Canadians. We can look at other industries and see similar trends. We've been robbed.

Wealth has been growing but only for a select few who already have wealth as they strip-mine it from our environment and our pocketbooks. Businesses are consolidated, profits are rising, yet workers are paid less or let go. Wealth is growing rapidly alongside inequity.

Copenhagen Cycling Revolution: Lessons for Cities Close to two-thirds of the city’s residents commute by bike to school or work every day.

“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.”

What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution.

This is like Kim Jong Un getting a hole-in-one on all 18 of a pro course.

Have you seen this yet?
This is wrong.

Parliament is supposed to be a civic space — the one room in this country where every faith, and no faith, stands on equal ground.

I pulled a groin watching that play.

And what a great opening game!

Those programs are worth the effort. They are far more effective than jail. There's one for repeat offenders in the DTES that has been very successful and First Nations court in New West has seen years of successful reintegration w/o incarceration.

This video shows the process of tapping a rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) for natural latex, which coagulates quickly.

Done right, this is non-harmful to the tree, which heals over at the scar.

Let's talk about why trees make latex & what it has to do with condoms & heroin.

Human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

Black and white photo of Neil Stonechild.

Saskatoon temps were around −28°C this week, just like 34 years ago.

Why −28°C?
Why 34 years ago?

Neil Stonechild was arrested by two #Saskatoon police officers & left in a field northwest of the city on Nov 25, 1990.

Neil was found by construction workers 34 years ago today, frozen to death.
