Proud queer, based in Vancouver, BC (unceded Coast Salish territory). My politics are best described as eco-left. I will definitely also be posting about pop culture and urbanism, and will certainly be engaging in general nihilism. They/them, please.
It's amazing people will claim "Canada and the USA have the same culture" and then on something as fundamental as "do you trust your fellow citizens to be good" we are further apart than any other two countries
And somehow I still haven't deleted my account for some reason.
Oh this happened to me a week or two ago after I spent months turning off and reporting notifications I never asked for. Sadly, less than a week later, the normal notifications came back, and a week after that the endless stream of notifications I didn't consent to returned.
Hey, remember Blogspot?
Every CBC podcast has been infected with ads for a new podcast being hosted by Vancouver's CBC morning show people and I'm very sick of hearing the same weird word association game as an ad several times a day.
And the person who thinks my Gmail is theirs has recently started signing up to conservative newsletters from the US. I wonder if they're trying to punish me for cancelling their Wal-Mart orders.
The centring of the lower mainland in regards to the ditching of time changes (after Sunday's change) is getting to me.
"Experts" this, and "what about that" and it's all things that folks in the north have been dealing with for decades, or people in specific jobs have dealt with forever.
When I tell you the amount of times a day that I have to end Acrobat from task manager because it refuses to open PDFs
*the end of standard time.
Are you regularly involved in manually turning off and on their access to the sun? If not, they're probably not going to notice at all.
Everyone knows Boston Pizza.
New York Fries, for some reason? The place that brought poutine to many a mall.
Montana's.
East Side Mario's (original logo was Statue of Liberty).
Lone Star Texas Grill.
Bâton Rouge Steakhouse.
Dixie Lee Fried Chicken.
The number of Canadian founded, owned and operated restaurant chains named after parts of the United States is truly astounding. As many as you think there are, there are even more.
Almost all started in Ontarian suburbs
G Flip & The Beaches are the collab I didn't know I needed but this song is fantastic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=szyk...
Carney: We regretfully take the position that Iran must not have nukes and the US should not bomb Iran indiscriminately
Poilievre: The Robin Hood you know is a Marxist falsehood
A particularly odd episode of Canadian politics today
That's 2014 Democratic Party nominee for North Carolina's 2nd congressional district Aiken you're talking about!
I vividly remember being told by my childhood peers “You’re a girl! You’re a girl!” (when they weren’t calling me other things), because misogyny and homophobia and transphobia are inextricably linked. While trans people held some fascination for me, this did not catapult me into their ranks.
Why is there an accessible gate to access Stadium-Chinatown Station from Expo Blvd that leads directly to a big flight of stairs and only those stairs?
When the province polled British Columbians about ditching the time change in 2019, support was strong
93% of the 223,000 responses to the government's survey said go for it
90% of businesses were supportive
7 years later, BC is finally making the change #bcpoli
BC will finally catch up to the Yukon and finally fill a promise made by John Horgan 7 years ago. (We'll see if this actualy happens). www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Anyone else just get hit with allergy season all at once this weekend? I had been wondering why nothing was blooming in my neighbourhood for most of February but now everything is alive and my eyes are burning.
Is it really so hard for Mark Carney to say something like this instead of constantly defending US breaches of international law?
I was today years old when I learned the lead singer of Blur is also a member of Gorillaz.
Today I got to meet and was briefly allowed to pet the softest kitty I've ever met and it was a delight. 🐈
Oof, Penny Wong used to be such a great politician.
Albanese: "We support the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent Iran continuing to threaten international peace and security."

odd echo in the Canada and Australia statements
Carney: "Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security."

It's all very bad, and I don't want to take away from that reality when I say this, but we've had an awful lot of "I told you so" moments and I'm tired of not saying that so I'm saying it.
Remember when we thought he wouldn't sell us out to the US's terrible policies?
Explicit support for an illegal war started by a country that is directly threatening us. This is beyond appeasement, it's total complicity.
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
Why has no one done a mashup of Jann Arden's Will You Remember Me with Sarah McLachlan's I Will Remember You, internet please make this happen.
