Flippant remarks such as this by @ParkBoard chair @ThomasDigby1 are highly irresponsible. It is recognized that the election induced 0% tax increase edict from ABC creates hard choices, but statements such as this are not helpful. The chair needs to be replaced.

@ParkBoard chair Tom Digby was asked if he is concerned about Public safety at Vancouver beaches, with the PB planning big cuts to Lifeguards, this summer. #BeachPlease @KenSimCity @CityofVancouver

Wouldnโ€™t at all be surprised that this announcement to step down as Editor of BIV is followed by another one for @kirklapointe โ€œI have a decision to unfurl in a few days.โ€ Is it @kareemformayor waiting in the wings with another blockbuster announcement?

Wow. As a longtime teacher and BCTF member, I have to say that Iโ€™m disappointed the union has chosen to be vocal about international politics. Of the 40,000 members it represents, Iโ€™d hazard to guess that 30,000+ would disagree entirely with this motion, or at least have a โ€œwhy get involvedโ€ stance. Iโ€™ve received numerous texts and emails from former teaching colleagues who are outraged about this motion and are increasingly frustrated with the priorities and politics of the BCTF. Jewish kids in B.C. are afraid to go to school, and many require security. Not a peep about this? The BCTF should be focused on student learning outcomes and teacher professionalism in B.C., not political activism halfway around the world wouldnโ€™t you agree @NinaKriegerBC? #bcpoli

The BC Teachers Federation, the province wide labour union representing over 40,000 teachers, has just passed a resolution in support of BDS! The first province-wide motion to support BDS in solidarity with Palestine!!

By extension, Pope Leo suggests that Christian church leaders who support people who start wars should assess whether theyโ€™re following the teachings of Jesus. Hello Franklin Graham, Robert Jeffress, Paula White-Cain, Jackson Lahmeyer, Tony Suร rez, Darrell Scott, et al charlatans

2/2 List of housing unit approvals (entitlements) handed out by municipalities within Metro. Developers are not going to give up these profitable approvals easily. Coquitlam โ€œapproves more than sufficient housing,โ€ planner Andrew Merrill said. But โ€œlocal government has no tools to compel a developer to proceed with construction.โ€ @robshaw @linda_hepner

I have seen no comments from Mark Carney or Olivia Chow on the shots fired at the US consulate this morning. Doug Ford is the only government leader who has commented.

@somerspsych Great conversation. Harm reduction gets real when there is a safe place to land after the clinic. Without that we keep people alive today and lose them next week.

JUST IN: Meta sold 7 million Ray-Ban smart glasses in 2025 alone. Workers in Kenya are watching the footage. Not metadata. Not anonymized clips. The actual videos. People undressing. People in bathrooms. People having sex. Bank cards. Medical documents. The blurring is supposed to protect privacy. It fails constantly. The contractors see everything. Here is the part that should stop you cold: You did not buy the glasses. You did not agree to the terms of service. You did not consent to anything. But if someone wearing Meta glasses walks into your bedroom, your bathroom, your doctor's office, your home, a contractor on the other side of the world may be watching you right now. The person wearing the glasses consented. Everyone else in the room did not. Meta's defense is that this is all disclosed in the privacy policy. They are technically correct. Buried in language so dense that 99% of users never read it. And even if they did, it would not matter, because the terms govern the wearer's data. Not yours. You are not a party to the contract. You are the product being annotated. Millions of AI-enabled cameras walking around in public. Recording constantly. Uploading to servers. Reviewed by humans earning a few dollars an hour to label your most intimate moments so the algorithm gets smarter. This is not a bug. This is the business model. The EU is already asking questions. MEPs submitted formal inquiries to the Commission this week demanding answers on GDPR compliance. The problem is obvious: European data protection law requires consent from data subjects. Bystanders are data subjects. Bystanders never consented. The entire architecture violates the regulation by design. Meta's response has been silence and a reference to terms of service that do not apply to the people actually being filmed. Google Glass died because people called the wearers "Glassholes" and banned them from bars. Meta solved the social problem by making the glasses look normal. They did not solve the privacy problem. They hid it. Seven million units sold in 2025. The installed base is accelerating. Every unit is a potential surveillance node operated by someone who may not understand what they are feeding into the system and reviewed by contractors who see everything the algorithm cannot process. The question is not whether this becomes a scandal. The question is whether the scandal arrives before or after the glasses are on 50 million faces. Watch the EU. If Brussels moves on GDPR enforcement, Meta faces a choice: disable human review in Europe and cripple the AI training pipeline, or accept fines that could reach billions. Neither outcome is priced into the stock. The glasses are selling faster than ever. The contractors keep watching. And somewhere right now, someone you have never met is looking at footage of you that you never knew existed.
