@VancouverShawnG @JasJohalBC Exactly

@JasJohalBC How can we secure a MLB team if we cant support the Whitecaps?

NEW - It's over. A billionaire's kid just made a formal offer to buy the Whitecaps and move them to Las Vegas. Grant Gustavson, grandson of Public Storage founder B. Wayne Hughes, is behind the bid. His mom Tamara Gustavson is worth $8.5B. #bcpoli nytimes.com/athletic/72440…

@M8490319742510 @JasJohalBC My point is that it's a distraction. Bringing a MLB team to Vancouver will probably never happen, there's no stadium, we can barely support 3 pro teams, who will support 81 home MLB games, thats more than the NHL, MLS, CFL combined. Focus on the Caps which we already have.

@cblackrelax @JasJohalBC Bro it has nothing to do with tue fucking mayor. Mayors are pretty much powerless Get a clue

@bygeorgist @BradWestPoCo While Pickleball was originally supported largely by boomers, it has grown into quite a competitive sport that all ages play, with many large tournaments around the world. Good job @BradWestPoCo , much appreciated.

@BradWestPoCo Pickle ball is for boomers, like everything in Canada

New pickleball courts coming your way, Port Coquitlam. Just the latest deliverable in sports, parks & recreation for our community.

@BishopBarron Your Excellency, I respectfully disagree that this dispute was "ginned up by the press." As a practicing Catholic, I find this minimizes the very real, substantive moral tensions at play. The friction is in the leaders' own words, not just media spin.

There is a way past the absurd and deeply divisive “war” between the President and the Pope, which has been enthusiastically ginned up by the press. And it is indicated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2309 to be precise. After laying out the various criteria for determining a just war—proportionality, last resort, declaration by a competent authority, reasonable hope of success, etc.—the Catechism points out that “the evaluation of these conditions for moral legitimacy belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good.” The assumption is that the just war principles function, to use the technical term, as heuristic devices, designed to guide the practical decision-making of those civil authorities who have to adjudicate matters of war and peace. The role of the Church, therefore, is to call for peace and to urge that any conflict be strictly circumscribed by the moral constraints of the just war criteria. But it is not the role of the Church to evaluate whether a particular war is just or unjust. That appraisal belongs to the civil authorities, who, one presumes, have requisite knowledge of conditions on the ground. So, is the war in question truly the last resort? Is there really a balance between the good to be attained and the destruction caused by the war? Are combatants and non-combatants being properly distinguished in the waging of the conflict? Do the belligerents have right intention? Is there a reasonable hope of success? The posing of those questions—indeed the insistence upon their moral relevance—belongs rightly to the Church, but the answering of them belongs to the civil authorities. The Pope has said, on numerous occasions, that he is not a politician and that his role is not the determination of any nation's foreign policy. But he has just as clearly said that he will continue to speak for peace and for moral constraint. In making both of these claims, he is operating perfectly within the framework of paragraph 2309 of the Catechism. If we understand that the Pope and the President have qualitatively different roles to play in the determination of moral action in regard to war, we can, I hope, extricate ourselves from the completely unhelpful narrative of “Pope vs. President.”

@JasJohalBC If the elected MLA'S are unable to make a decision then bring the issue to the electorate to decide.

NEW (1/3)- Premier’s office confirms BC will NOT introduce DRIPA suspension legislation this session. Premier to address next steps at a press conference tomorrow. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

@NoahGairn The Noah Note in your substack are much appreciated.

Prime Minister Carney announces ambitious new plan to defend, build, and transform the North open.substack.com/pub/truenorths…

@emilyhaws @NoahGairn @LoriIdlout Well said. With everything that is happening in the Arctic, I couldn't agree more. This is a smart strategic move for Nunavut.

Former Nunavut premier PJ Akeeagok says he supports @LoriIdlout’s decision to cross the floor and join the Liberals #cdnpoli

@astraiaintel 😂

@DavidMcGuinty Excellent! I'm looking forward and waiting patiently for your announcement of twelve KSS-III subs for Canada.

Yesterday, Minister Anita Anand and I welcomed Foreign Minister Cho Hyun and Defence Minister Ahn Gyuback to Ottawa. 🇨🇦🇰🇷 1/3

@MarcDalton US investment in Canada is at an all time high. Go Canada! @MarkJCarney !

Common sense policies grow our economy and protect our trade relationships, including with the United States, the destination for 75% of our exports and a partnership that supports millions of Canadian jobs. Liberals are quite willing to let that irreplaceable relationship deteriorate if it serves their electoral interests.

@ItsDeanBlundell $8.79 for 700g, or for a more direct comparison to the orginal tweet, $17.58 for 1.4kg at Real Canadian Superstore.

That's also a massive 4 lb block of cheese, dipshit.

@actfast "“When they took down the pig, was it ready to be eaten because it was already cooked from the electric shock?” one person jokes." 🤣

@NoahGairn Interesting. I'll need to take a gander.

For those of you with access right now, I'm now available on Gander

@CFOXvan @BradWestPoCo @earlofsandwich @ChipotleTweets @crumbl @ChickfilA Hey @BradWestPoCo, I'm still patiently waiting for a @ChickfilA in the @CityofPoCo . Driving to Lynnwood is not sustainable. And I'm hungry now.

@CFOXvan @BradWestPoCo @earlofsandwich @ChipotleTweets @crumbl A PoCo @ChickfilA would be the cherry on top.

This is the correct response. We’re building an empire from @earlofsandwich to @ChipotleTweets and @crumbl because it’s all about balance…and the children are our future!

@actfast Doubtful. Seems like business as usuall with meetings setup today in Beijing between Kier Starmer and Xi Jinping in regards to a new UK-China trade deal.

I hope it's true but I'm skeptical.

@TheBushArchive A true class act.

George W. Bush when leaving the Oval Office leaves a note to Obama which reads: “Dear Barack, Congratulations on becoming our President. You have just begun a fantastic chapter in your life. Very few have had the honor of knowing the responsibility you now feel. Very few know the excitement of the moment and the challenges you will face. There will be trying moments. The critics will rage. Your “friends” will disappoint you. But, you will have an Almighty God to comfort you, a family who loves you, and a country that is pulling for you, including me. No matter what comes, you will be inspired by the character and compassion of the people you now lead. God bless you. Sincerely, GW”

@MarcDalton What would you do differently?

Mark Carney’s “new world order” talk raises serious questions. He elevates China, even as nations across the Indo-Pacific rearm against Beijing’s militarism. This is the same China running mass forced-labour camps and crushing democracy in Hong Kong. He also points to Qatar, a regime that shields extremists while silencing dissent and banning political opposition. Sportswashing and global branding don’t change that reality. At home, Carney’s rhetoric masks Canada’s economic struggles: mills and plants closing, projects stalled, and promises to jumpstart the economy unfulfilled. Though he pitched himself as a master negotiator in last year’s election, he hasn’t delivered on reducing U.S. tariffs by last July. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is already in his second year of a four-year term and cannot return. Carney seems to be steering Canada toward a vague globalist path aligned with authoritarian regimes. Leadership should strengthen Canada, not blur it in a world of rising authoritarianism.

@Tablesalt13 It appears lots of people are buying Chinese EV's.

CANADA Be honest Who is buying a Chinese EV??

@Gray_Mackenzie Good timing while David Eby is away in India.

Mark Carney is headed to Prince Rupert tomorrow to meet with BC costal First Nations to discuss a potential oil pipeline and the MOU that Carney signed with the Alberta back in November. Ministers Tim Hodgson and Gregor Robertson will also be joining Carney #cdnpoli
