WATCH: How this small city tripled its cycling in just 11 years, via @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social.
(spoiler: It’s Victoria BC in Canada, and it’s worth watching)
This week’s Weekly Wrap is a short and solemn one. We honour the victims in Tumbler Ridge and stand with their families and community in grief. #yyj

His legacy here will endure — not just in policies or projects, but in the example he set of how to serve with dignity, humility, and heart.
Few leaders leave this kind of imprint. Fewer still leave it with grace.
And those of us who have worked alongside him are better for having witnessed what principled leadership actually looks like in practice.
Dean is, quite simply, one of the finest human beings I have known.
This decision, like everything Dean does, is rooted in clarity and care. Public service is noble work — but so is knowing when to rebalance, when to honour family, and when to protect what matters most. That, too, is leadership.
Saanich is stronger because of him.
...or the minutes. And I have seen Dean meet those demands with an uncommon steadiness — guided not by ego or expedience, but by integrity. Not rhetorical integrity — the real kind. The kind that shows up when no one is watching; unwavering under pressure.
...holding himself to a standard that many talk about but few sustain. That kind of leadership leaves a mark. It raises the bar for everyone who follows.
I have seen, up close, what this job asks of a person. I have seen the hours, the weight, the private costs that never make the agenda...
The quality of service @deanmurdock.bsky.social has given Saanich is extraordinary. Over decades, he has chosen the harder path again and again: telling the truth when it would have been easier not to; making decisions that served the long term rather than the next headline...
Back to work in Parliament on public safety, justice, and accountability — and taking a moment to appreciate and honour the incomparable Catherine O’Hara, a true Canadian icon. Here’s your Weekly Wrap.

And the ski-people.
A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:
"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."
and
"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

The advent of a “content creator” pass for next week’s convention marks a new chapter in the Conservative party’s embrace of the influencer movement — and rhymes perfectly with Trump's White House and Pentagon media strategy. Reporting by @arnokopecky.bsky.social in @nationalobserver.com
Family members say the man killed by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis on Saturday was an intensive care nurse at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital who cared deeply about people and was upset by President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in his city.
They murdered an icu nurse.
It’s important to bear witness to what’s happening
I believe that in my bones, even for those of us watching from afar
Minnesota’s justice system will have the last word.

When they say socialism or barbarism, this is some of the barbarism they're talking about
If “democracy dies in darkness” one might ask why The Washington Post is recycling second-rate Arctic analysis circa 2009 to rationalize Donald Trump’s unhinged fantasy of conquering Greenland.
I'd wager this is the angriest statement ever issued by the Nobel Peace Prize people...
Big week in Victoria: Federal Health Minister Marjorie Michel and BC Health Minister Josie Osborne, a major housing announcement, China trade news — and something extra.
