Vancouver Car Free Days cancelled for 2026 A popular annual festival that saw Vancouver streets closed to traffic and opened to vendors, performers and crowds of pedestrians has been called off for 2026.

"Increasingly, the landscape for large-scale events, particularly community events, has been changing."

Ken Sim and ABC found $1 million for a sign and $2 million for fireworks after pushing through a brutal austerity Budget.

Surely we can save Car Free Days!

Also, it will feel very silly for Vancouver to be 2 hours behind Toronto and New York in the winter.

sure you should check the food bowl and all but riffing is typically a sign that you're housing your writers in an overstocked tank. you're going to need a bigger enclosure and/or to rehome some writers. otherwise they'll get their plots tangled together and form a "writer king"

I might be new here, but I think a city that fosters community, local business and arts festivals is a better one to live in than a city where, if you say it should be for anyone other than tesla-driving real estate investors, the mayor will call you a drug dealer.

In Canada we have "American Smarties" but they're called "Rockets"

Yeah, since you can't really turn off a bunch of the AI features of plenty of services and apps now (even if you don't actually click them) does that count as "using an AI tool"?

15+ years later, Microsoft morged my diagram How Microsoft continvoucly morged my Git branching diagram.

Key areas are given very small increases, which mean real cuts to services. The gov’s tax increases will hit low- to moderate income households. The budget lays the burden of austerity on the poorest in BC, while abandoning key investments in the care economy, including $10day child care 5/

There does appear to be another github DS4windows fork post-ryochan7 stopping maintaining it that he's posted issues on, so maybe it's trustworthy? github.com/schmaldeo/DS...

The BC government says the budget has to be "tough" to tackle large deficits. But we can’t talk about deficits without talking about revenues. And BC’s revenue as a share of our economy is much lower than it was before the deep tax cuts of the early 2000s. #bcpoli #BCBudget2026

Glad it's being fixed :) And for better or worse, it _has_ delivered some laughs. "Continvoucly morged" will be stuck in my head for a while.

But on the plus side, this is how I learn that Tims can develop backwards through time.

Yeah, I linked the original a bit further down (I've had the image on my hard drive for years too πŸ˜…). Thankfully the slop diagram has well-broken containment and made it back to the author and some pretty well-placed people at MS.

Microsoft's apparently AI-slop git intro would like to inform you that the more Tim's you have on your team, the more you can program featue backwards in time, but with less Tim you can actually continvoucly morg back into develop.

A successful Git branching model In this post I present a Git branching strategy for developing and releasing software as I’ve used it in many of my projects, and which has turned out to be very successful.

Yeah the original article is from 2010 and was pretty influential, even if it sort-of turned into a dogma that the creator distanced himself from (as is tradition with these things) nvie.com/posts/a-succ...

To be fair, "continvoucly morging" is probably what talking about Git sounds like to most people.
