Apparently @Hootsuite, the Vancouver based co. has a contract with ICE. They were entertaining one back in 2020 and shut it down because of backlash. Not so much now. They are taking ICE money and supporting them.

This needs to happen if Canada is going to continue to stand on moral high ground & claim we "are the best...". Its time our politics get real & stop being superficial in our actions. IMHO

They aren’t just flower beds!!!

Fascinating peak beneath the surface of one of London’s new Cycleways - you can see the complex drainage system that ensures bike lanes help protect the capital from heavy rain & the effects of climate change.

And don’t they look great when they’re finished? 💚🚲👍

“No fines”?!! Why the heck not?!! @ CFIA! The fact the the grocery “ corrected the problem “ is not a good enough reason not to fine them!

Hey @mark-carney.bsky.social take WAGE off the chopping block. Those that benefit r the ones who put you in that office.
Here's why we need a well-funded WAGE ministry. Our stats would be proportionally similar to the US, where there's a rape every 68 seconds, a woman beaten every 9 seconds, & over half of female homicide victims killed by a current or former male intimate partner.

Canada needs proportional representation. Or sell me on another idea but this FPTP doesn't seem to make sense. www.fairvote.ca/29/04/2025/c...
This is what a two party system looks like - Fair Vote Canada
Canada’s voting system is failing voters. Many voted strategically, motivated to block the other side from winning. The results leave us more divided than ever and closer to a two-party system.

I voted 2day for a party that has more of a plan than slogans. One that has world experience & is showing a deep understanding for the changes that need to be made. There is no utopia but I’ll get thoughtful solutions in tough times. Oh & complete sentences w/out vitriol that’s gonna be nice 2.
