Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

As the federal government works toward a deal with Alberta to ship crude from the oilsands through northern B.C., it will have to navigate a long-standing agreement to keep oil tankers away from B.C.’s north coast.
It’s a debate many in B.C. believed long settled.

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

As we await tomorrow's federal budget, we need to have a discussion as Canadians on municipal budgets.
Specifically, how police are increasingly devouring entire municipal budgets to the point other services are being cut or cancelled.
It can't continue.

Some breaking news: in a special Vancouver Police Board meeting only announced over the weekend, the police board has requested a $50 million increase to their budget for 2026.
This comes as other departments across the city are trying to cut staff to ensure a property tax freeze for next year.
