Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

What establishment Dems tried to do to Mamdani, the BC NDP successfully did to Anjali Appadurai.
She was poised to win the leadership race by actually getting people to join the party. The old guard didn't like that, so they crushed the next generation to maintain their grip on power.

This is great, I'd go further: framing safety as a matter of individual responsibility IS victim blaming.
Individual responsibility is an easier explanation than "money has influenced policy decisions over decades to build a society in which there is an outsize risk to be hit by a car."

Can confirm from an internal email earlier this month, All Souls Night was canceled "after careful assessment, and considering current budget constraints"

Deeply disappointed to see @cityofvancouver.bsky.social terminated the All Souls Nights at Mountainview Cemetery.
This event has been a tradition for us for the last 6 years, and the event has been going for 20.
I’ll quote the statement from
