Is this “zero means zero”?
BREAKING... Vancouver City Council has approved up to $600,000 in new funding to support a 1-night fireworks event this summer, filling in for the cancelled Celebration of Light. 🎆 Efforts will also be made to save the 3-night event in 2027+. #vanpoli

If only there was some way to raise revenue so they didn't have to cut services.

Must be an election year, @Vote4ABC is fear mongering again. 🙄🙄
Safe streets are essential for strong businesses. When workers are attacked and stores close, communities lose jobs, services, and confidence. ABC is taking action to make streets safer for residents and local businesses. Learn more and get involved:

I'm sure Evan's got some good ideas here and there, but now all I can see is him grinning ear to ear while discussing AI tech with Israeli's - the country that has been actively genociding Palestine. Our stupid captured politicians are going to neo-lib us into the apocalypse.
A 25% boost to the GST credit—more money back in people’s pockets when it’s needed most. We’re focused on making life more affordable for Canadians. —- Une augmentation de 25 % du crédit pour la TPS — c'est plus d'argent dans les poches des gens au moment où ils en ont le plus

Great piece by @NoLore on how the NDP’s opaque vetting system prioritizes control over renewal. I experienced an arbitrary, discretionary process that clearly rewards caution while punishing courage. Rather than welcoming independent, bold candidates and ideas, it reinforces
The NDP’s talk of renewal rings hollow after barring @Bianca_Kabibi from the leadership race. As @NoLore writes, ideological gatekeeping and internal bureaucracy stifle democracy and make the party hostile to the transformative politics it once embraced.

Genuinely so rad to have a short, smart, civics lesson. I'd love to know how #Vancouver's city hall works! But at least our mayor chugged a beer at Khatsalano and snuck a pelaton into a conference room. Ken Sim is truly the people's mayor! #evictkensim
The City’s budget is our future. And you deserve to know how it works.

Canada as a whole needs to reinvest in it's own entertainment in a big way. So much to offer in terms of talent and stories.
Watching all these old clips from SCTV is also reminding me how much of a GOAT Andrea Martin is too. Toronto produced the best comedians and comedy in general. Begging for the resurgence of Toronto television PLEASE we’ve lost the ancient texts.

BC Greens leader Emily Lowan makes the case for government-run grocery stores, citing Jimmy Pattison’s near-monopoly in many communities: “It’s clear there’s all this price gouging going on, they’re exploiting workers.”

This post has been on my mind for a few days now, so I’m going to say something about it. The Minister of AI having an "ongoing engagement" with the government of Israel on technology and AI is deeply concerning. No, it’s just plain wrong. It makes Canada vulnerable to

I can't believe today is not being immediately declared a national day of mourning for Catherine O'Hara. What a loss for the arts, for Canada, for women in comedy, and for the world.

I don't understand what you're doing @NDP. I donated and signed up yesterday with excitement to vote for @avilewis - hopeful that Bianca would continue to be a voice in the party to push a progressive agenda. And THIS is how you repay that donation? What does the D stand for?
Dear friends, Yesterday, I was informed that my candidacy for NDP leader has been blocked by a three-person vetting committee behind closed doors despite the tremendous support our campaign has built across the country. The denial of my agency and of members’ right to choose

straight up, if you spend endless hours doomscrolling and feeling despair at the state of Canada and the world but can’t even take 80 seconds and $5 to do the absolute bare minimum in some pushback then you probably deserve your despair. it’s literally the very least you can do
Final day to become a member to vote in the NDP leadership race. From sold-out halls to a surge of endorsements, volunteers, and conversations happening coast to coast to coast, our campaign is building an antidote to despair. If you’ve been feeling the spark but watching from

On this International Holocaust Remembrance Day, let us pledge that “never again” means “never again”, even when Israel is the perpetrator #Gaza
We are allowing again today what was to be never again. I recently introduced a motion calling on the government to examine the risk to Canada of complicity in violations of international humanitarian law and genocide. To watch or read the full speech: https://t.co/wfN4oUG4ru

Israelis have Telegram channels where they post videos of murdered Palestinian children to celebrate Israel's national pastime: killing Palestinian children, filming it, and celebrating in group chats. Your "civilization" is a crime against humanity.

The moral fabric of the world—slashed to ribbons by the Gaza genocide—will never be mended until monsters like this are brought to justice. That someone this cartoonishly evil will likely never see the inside of a jail cell is enough to make you despair.
Far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir supervised as bulldozers demolished UNRWA’s headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem on Tuesday. The destruction comes as Israel clamps down on NGOs providing humanitarian aid to Palestinians.
