Hootsuite dropped an ICE contract in 2020 over backlash. Apparently now they no longer care. AND they're a a Canadian company!! Trash.
So, @hootsuite.com just because @DHSgov ICE is observing your “terms of service” doesn’t absolve you from being complicit with their egregious behaviour. #ICE #Minnesota #Minneapolis #Vancouver

Some countries use ICE to arrest 5-year-olds. Others use ice to let kids skate.

Apparently SW Marine Drive between Knight & Oak Street in #Vancouver is a 60km/h zone. Even in the fog! Who knew. @cityofvancouver.bsky.social @theicbc.bsky.social #sarcasm.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

A big thank you to the wonderful person who decorates this traffic circle on the Tenth Ave bike route. Last month, it had a Halloween theme, and now it's all set for the Christmas season.

Vancouver city services for families are stretched thin, there’s a draft 2026 budget that cuts things like baby changing tables, eliminates climate & sustainability efforts, and slashes 400 jobs.
