I suspect there is a major public-health benefit to downtown bike lanes as well. When I’m on a bike I am vastly more likely to stop and check on someone in potential medical distress.
Bonus: more likelihood of filming police during potentially abusive encounters.

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.
Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Don’t. Buy. Anything.
Billionaires pushed lies at us. So they could make more money and pay lower taxes and hurt the rest of us.
So don’t. Buy. Anything. No gifts unless it’s from a used store. Buy artisan stuff. Things made locally by independent businesses.
Hit them in the only place we can.

Add this to the list of "things a prosecutor really doesn't want to hear the judge say on their big day"
Judge: “The troubling thing about this prosecution is that everyone knew what was happening… It seems like these two [gestures to defendants Nyx and Kalicum] are being hung out to dry. As soon as politicians started complaining, all of a sudden VPD—which before was fine—suddenly is not fine.”

Any province would be insane to not take advantage of the shitshow down south. We're desperate for doctors and they're desperate not to get prosecuted for vaccinating a child. Win win.

There's not much Nova Scotians can do about Northern Pulp now. But they should remember this saga — the disgusting pollution, the financial irresponsibility, the generous handouts — the next time a big multinational company asks to assault the province in the name of jobs.
Proposed Northern Pulp sale would leave nothing for cleanup or taxpayers
A proposed sale of Northern Pulp’s vast timberlands appears to leave nothing for the cleanup of its former kraft pulp mill in Pictou County or for the money owed to taxpayers.

I wish more people understood that water bombers are not a solution for fires bigger than a soccer pitch — meaning unless those planes are circling every corner of the country at all times in case a fire breaks out, they're not gonna help.
"Let’s turn this whole country into a waterbomber assembly line."

Canada: Walk away from negotiations. Don't retaliate. Diversify. Find new markets. Buy European military equipment. Reinstate the digital services tax. Let Americans pay more for the things they want from us. Keep up the public boycott. Welcome American refugee talent. Be Canadian. #cdnpoli #USpoli

Bluesky was invented to create a nicer space than Twitter. The problem is that too few people have joined and most are smug and boring.
