I heard great things about this North Van coffee shop, so I went to visit a friend today to grab coffee and was delighted to see the way it was set up with the Mind Flayer on the roof, thinking it was a permanent fixture only to find out it was just a part of their Halloween decorations still up.

Global News laid off 26 journalists in B.C. and Alberta today.
In B.C. the layoffs include virtually all of the online team, along with many others.
The business is increasingly cruel, and the hollowing out of newsrooms providing fair and reliable information continues to suck.

It's incredible I somehow made it 10 years in the news biz without being laid off but my luck ran out today. Sad to see a quality team torn apart. Spare a thought for your local journos who are ever being asked to do more with less, especially if you're tempted to dunk on the MSM.

There are folks who like to take "sides" in local media, cheering for or against organizations or journalists like they're heroes or villains in the ongoing struggle for truth.

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell.

If we look to history, or to global contemporary movements, there is one constant: the only way to stop tyranny is through workers walking off the job.
And yet, the lack of union density in the US has primed it for a fascist take-over.

Unions are a bullwork against fascism. That means that Canadians have to build our labour militancy too.

Poilievre's Indigenous policy looks a lot like a threat. This is him saying the feds will cut funding for ISC, replace it with tax room - and if we allow resource development in our territories, we can tax it to replace the money the feds took. I.E. let the pipeline through, or no drinking water.
