I'm sorry TransLink this is just mean. Nowhere to sit, no overhead cover to protect from rain or sun, located on the side of a busy 5-lane overpass right before the Lions Gate Bridge, & to top it off this route is *regularly* filled to max capacity during rush hour. #PlanningFail

For what it's worth, the "No Invading Allies Act" has been introduced to prevent Trump from invading Canada, Panama, or Greenland without approval from Congress. Kinda seems like a dictator's gonna dictate either way though

Hey West Vancouver: this is a literal death trap. It's the only way for pedestrians to get to the nearest bus stop by the Capilano River. Coworkers and I have already slipped & fallen. Can only imagine what it's like for people pushing strollers, in wheelchairs, or the elderly

Maybe it's an aging thing, but I get so much joy sometimes from raising my eyebrows at people who piss me off. It's like saying: "no, YOU'RE the crazy one", without actually saying a word

One of the implications of the framing of online users migrating from TikTok to RedNote as "refugees", is that people everywhere NEED online spaces free from government or corporate propaganda to express themselves, share ideas, and learn about the world freely 1/3

With the recent shift of users to RedNote/Xiaohongshu, Americans & Canadians are shocked to learn how cheap grocery bills, cars, rent, cell phone bills, purchasing a home etc is in China. It's becoming obvious that we're being taken advantage of by our own govts & oligarchies

Cities and countries should never be run like a business. Businesses are motivated by the profit incentive. Governments should concern themselves with much more than just turning a profit

Is it possible for the federal government to set price caps on certain types of groceries? Kinda seems like a better solution, than handing out tax credit rebates for a few hundred dollars after the fact
