Out riding my bike in #NorthVan, stopped waited a few minute and this European Starling landed. Common, but not boring up close.

If Canada has a housing crisis, why don’t they build houses within the red circle?

@VancouverSun Cute, but not true. I live on Haida Gwaii which is Haida land and territory. Our assessments have not gone down. They keep steadily rising.

@dockevinmcleod Oh give it up. Data. Data got us in this mess in the first place. I’m content with the change. Longer evenings!

Sunlight is very important for our body and brain. It impacts hormones, cognition, even insulin and our cardiovascular health. Data strongly supports that standard time is better for our health. Moving to permanent daylight savings time is bad policy. Sunrise in the winter in Vancouver is going to be around 9am with this change. Mornings will be darker. That’s bad for health. Good public policy would be to remain on permanent standard time.

Initial reaction from BC's business community appears to be surprise, and that they weren't consulted. Eby acknowledged this in his presser, saying BC has 8 months to sort this out until November when clocks would normally change back, putting BC out of alignment.
Rob Shaw@RobShaw_BC

NEW - .@Dave_Eby announces BC permanently moving to Daylight Savings Time on Sunday. Will not roll back clocks in fall. Means in winter, BC’s new time zone aligns with Alberta. In spring, Washington State. In winter, evenings brighter but sun won’t come up until closer to 9am.

@RobShaw_BC @VaughnPalmer @Dave_Eby Ok, this could have been handled better, but this was always going to happen. Unceded lands need to be dealt with. And it will. I live on Haida Gwaii where nobody is panicking as we are working on the new realizations of old realities.

.@Dave_Eby says BC was not briefed on Ottawa’s decision here, and province now has to engage with Feds to understand implications of move. Acknowledges comes at time of heightened anxiety for public on issue.

Liberal media again covering for Carney. First, they refused to even ask him a question about how we have he had given us the worst food inflation in the G7. Now, they refused to ask him about how he made Canada the ONLY G7 ECONOMY thats is shrinking. What happened to journalism?

@acoyne What I don’t get that people don’t seem to understand, with our current birth rate we need immigration to maintain our population and pay for services. This is happening all over the world: China, Japan, Germany. We are lucky to attract immigrants!

Collins has voted with Trump 96% of the time — the same rate as Mitch McConnell and two points above conservative Rand Paul. This is hardly the profile of someone looking to chart her own path. democracydocket.com/opinion/susan-…

Avi Lewis as NDP Leader will be a massive opportunity for Liberals to consolidate progressives who are anxious about global instability but also want a centre left government. Even NDP voters by an 11pt margin support massive defence spending. Avi is pushing those folks away from the NDP with this nonsense. Liberals also need to focus on having a strong offering for these voters. #cdnpoli

"I don’t believe we need to spend 2% of our GDP on military spending, as we need that money for other things, including the climate emergency, which is costing us more money while destroying towns and filling our lungs with smoke. The idea that we should now move to 5% of GDP is a destructive and nihilistic fantasy, pouring fuel on the climate fire."

I have lost COUNT of the conservatives in my life (who I love and have always respected) who’ve said they would “never have” voted for @MarkJCarney but “absolutely would” vote for him if an election were held today. @CPC_HQ should absorb that as they will.
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca

RAJ: “So many conservatives actually like Mark Carney, and maybe they didn’t vote for him last election, but they are openly saying they would vote for him if there were an election now, because they think he’s the right man to face off against Donald Trump.”

For the record. Carney’s sectoral China deal, rolled out from Beijing without serious consultation with President Trump’s team, flagrantly misread where Washington’s red line now sits. It’s not about legal FTA formalities; it’s about whether Canada volunteers to be a pressure‑relief valve for Chinese overcapacity into the US market. Carney walked straight into that line of fire, then tried to hide behind technicalities. Taken together with his Davos moral‑grandstanding and thinly veiled jabs at Trump, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that he actively wanted a blow‑up with Washington to dramatize his own “values” brand at home. Picking a public fight with Trump over China lets him posture as the virtuous defender of multilateralism against the big, bad White House, even as he jeopardizes Canada’s core economic interests. Meanwhile, Carney’s team continues to treat green as the foundation of his industrial policy, ignores a separatist movement in Alberta that is quietly gaining steam, and spends its political capital virtue‑signalling to his globalist buddies in Europe. If TDS were a country, Canada under Carney would be that country: willing to risk 100 percent tariffs and USMCA blowback just to signal its distaste for Trump and his China strategy. This is not grand strategy; it is performative anti‑Trumpism masquerading as foreign policy, and it leaves Canada exposed, not principled.
