“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I understand the “Wayne Gretzky’s an asshole” takes on here, but we should talk more about how all he’s really doing is being loyal to his class. Every rich person has way more in common with other rich people than with you or I. Materially, class matters more than nationality.

COPE: Coalition of Progressive Electors
During the 2022 election, there was unprecedented politicization of police in Vancouver to back Sim and ABC. When FOI requests for high ranking police relating to the election were made, they were ignored. Since then, the VPD budget has been increased by almost $100 million.
