It wouldn’t be Christmas without a chance to listen to Shatner Claus.

Some of William Shatner’s finest work, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Can’t deposit a cheque into #Tangerine because they say it’s a US dollar cheque.

It’s not, it’s from the Government of Canada. Lol, sigh.

Canadian banking fun continue.

Trying to replace my everyday bank with @wealthsimple.bsky.social hit another road block today.

“Hey this looks likes a like a large Government cheque. We can’t accept those.”

What the heck. Sigh 3rd problem in a month or so.

I listen to 4 different @theguardian.com podcasts. They decided to it a special episode on each of them.

So I got the exact same episode 4 times.

Annoying.

Did not realize that Mexico was safer than the US in this way.
It's crazy that the US has the nearly the same rate of road traffic deaths per 100,000 people as India, Brazil and China. It does worse than Indonesia and Mexico. Wow!

Neat stuff from @ashendruk.com's excellent new newsletter www.not-ship.com/huh-apparent...

There are many better places to go on holiday than the US.

Places with decent healthcare, gun control, no secret police kidnappers, no chance of ending up in an El Salvadorian torture chamber, and better everything else.

Go there instead.

Rockstar team at CUPE 2278, the union for graduate teaching and academic assistants at UBC and UNBC. We talked about the provincial action needed to improve working conditions - including transformative changes like changing labour relations code to recognize student workers. Let’s make it happen⚡️

5 people have been killed on the roads in Metro Vancouver in the last week, including a driver, a cyclist, and 3 pedestrians, one of whom was a young child. Each of them had lives, families and friends, aspirations and potential that will not be realized. Each of them could have been me, or you.

It can be amazing when you spend days surrounded by the amazing bounty and diversity of the animals and plants on our planet.

Unfortunately sometimes it can be easy to despise humans and the destruction we have caused, and continue to cause, to this planet.

The problem isn't us. We know the truth. The "problem" is the beltway pundits and consultant class who want to pretend that this grotesque troll has turned over a new leaf.

Surprised given the current political climate that you’d go to the USA right now. Canada would be much safer.

So just to follow up on the infographic Bowinn Ma @bowinnma.bsky.social posted from the RCMP

Riding e-scooters is permitted on roads in North Vancouver with a 50km/h or less speed limit.

The pilot program details are here:

The infographic never mentioned this.

Now is a very good time to email your MP and tell them what you think about another oil pipeline. Especially if you live in BC.

They are willing to sacrifice BC to appease Alberta.

Didn’t work for the last pipeline, won’t work this time.

I cannot stress how rude and inconsiderate it is to have a conversation on a speaker phone in public.

Hold the damn phone to your ear if you don’t have headphones.
