While everyone The Tyee spoke with agreed that a catastrophic number of drug-related deaths are happening across North America, no one The Tyee spoke with believed Trump was acting in good faith to protect the lives of people who use drugs. https://t.co/BKKWyqGPYn

This week, President Trump paused implementation of the 25% tariff on all Canadian non-oil exports for 30 days. Forestry experts say if the tariffs go ahead, even more workers’ jobs are in jeopardy. https://t.co/XGv0SUKPpX

“Liberal democracy” doesn’t mean one governed by liberals or Liberals. It means we protect individual liberties and group rights. Populists, by contrast, focus on the majority — often at the expense of minorities and dissenters, writes Wesley.

There are high hopes for hempcrete, the building material that is carbon-negative, energy-efficient, safe and durable. Founders of the Indigenous Habitat Institute explain how they are using hemp to build more sustainable and climate-proof houses. https://t.co/fnLujZhOMA

“It feels like they’re pulling from whatever policies they can to target this behaviour, this thing they want us not to do.” https://t.co/PMeNNN3ExG

“With every new excess of Donald Trump’s retribution binge in the opening days of his presidency, and given the obvious similarities between the agendas of Trump and Poilievre, it is no longer automatic the CPC will win the next election in a cake walk.” https://t.co/FOIBW3ig6T

Capstan Station is finally open. How did Richmond get developers to chip in?

@BenParfittCCPA Richard Kabzems, who lives in the heart of B.C.’s most developed methane gas zone, says he is troubled the Energy Resource Appeal Tribunal took over six months to deny his request — months he could’ve spent trying to fight the project by other means. https://t.co/zJBtDKNhxC
