He should have said we need to be talking more about this instead of saying the media is not talking about it. But I've also read articles about the new art gallery on CBC without ever realizing it was previously housing the homeless. Something I only know now because of your post about his video.

Specific usage of words do matter. Which is why it's a shame you selectively cropped the initial clip to make it look worse to match your narrative. I had to Google using the watermark to watch the whole thing. The videos primary message is not one of anti-media but of the oppression of poor people

Really @jmcelroy.bsky.social is assuming a lot of intent behind the video. It is good that more attention is being brought to it especially in spheres where they don't follow many happenings. I was surprised myself on the first CBC article I read about the parking lot didn't mention the housing.

Especially since the CPC's solutions are just neoliberal business as usual that continues to just benefit the rich.

My partner is pretty annoyed at all the people just on the SkyTrain that don't look up from their phones and watch what's going on in Vancouver. Not watching the scenery is anathema to her.

AITA for blowing up a Romulan ship and lying about it to bring them into the Dominion War?

Yeah. According to the story, they eventually were unable to share any surplus food as they were just surviving themselves.

To scratch that itch I've been reading Corrina Sparrow's (very very good) dissertation Reclaiming Spaces Between: Coast Salish Two Spirit Identities and Experiences. #TwoSpirit #Indigenous #socialwork Link 👇

Reclaiming spaces between: Coast Salish Two Spirit identities and experiences
The seed for this research germinated deep in the lands of our Coast Salish ancestors thousands of years ago. As a Coast Salish Two Spirit researcher, I noticed there is a striking absence of west coast Indigenous and Coast Salish specific knowledge about Two Spirit identities, experiences and vision work in academic and community circles. Therefore, this research was conducted exclusively on Coast Salish territories, with Coast Salish identified Two Spirit participants and allies. I apply my Four House Posts Coast Salish methodology in an Indigenous research framework, and through storytelling and art-based methods, this study asks - How does recognition of Coast Salish Two Spirit identity and experience contribute to community wellness and cultural resurgence? The intention of this study is to offer pathways for intergenerational healing and reconnections, cultural revitalization and transformation by weaving traditional Indigenous knowledges with contemporary narratives, in order to increase voice and visibility of Coast Salish Two Spirit People.
