The US Congress/Senate is very much like watching the Republic in star wars hand over authority to the Emperor and continue to lapdog it's way to oblivion.

Andor was too well written for current times.

Opposition of the Broadway Plan decries a "one size fits all" approach and "force-fed generic zoning", but Kitsilano has twelve sub areas.

The largest, "Kitsilano North - Area A", covers about 20 blocks divided by a unique area to preserve lower heights for the 4th Ave shopping district.

We need to stop with bad engagement processes for things we needed yesterday

but what about neighbourhood character!?

Canada summer jobs announces their funding in April so you'll see a bunch of stuff come out for that

She has a great resume, lots of customer service, she’s a great writer, she speaks 3 languages (English, Japanese and Mandarin) and is currently half way through a degree in journalism. She worked as a reporter last summer in Japan at world expo. She can’t find anything

In the face of a double-digit Liberal lead, Pierre Poilievre is rolling out a new political approach that includes respect for his opponents and time for the mainstream media.

How long will it last? Grab that head of lettuce and start the clock. #cdnpoli

Minus the illegal turns

Join a thing! And boo antivaxxers but at least you know where they stand now.

Before (2022) / After (2026) the recent pedestrianization and greening of Rue de Gravelle in the 12th arrondissement of Paris

We used to have an open Internet instead now you need a meta account to do most things we used to do without handing over our data to Zuckerberg. I've been looking at Craigslist for watch stuff but most people are selling on FB marketplace which I cannot access. Cool how we willingly did that.

A green line that reflects investment value and there's a precipitous drop when Trump started a war with Iran

Maybe I should have been betting on the most horrible things happening instead

Big congratulations to the Vancouver Park Board! 🎉
The Kitsilano Beach Connection on the Seaside Greenway just won a 2026 HUB Cycling Infrastructure Improvement Award. Great news for people who bike in Vancouver. 🚲

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.

I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.

They also didn’t pay cover 🖕
