Israeli forces destroyed a boat carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, leaving Canadian citizen Luiza Noura adrift at sea. She was rescued by two NGOs, @Greenpeace and Open Arms. This incident raises serious concerns under international law, including the safety of civilians engaged in humanitarian missions We call on Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and Minister of Foreign Affairs @AnitaAnandMP to unequivocally condemn these actions and to press for an independent, transparent investigation to ensure accountability, particularly with respect to the endangerment of Canadian citizens. #cdnpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

“The system is rigged against regular people. Stephanie gets that. She’s someone who will fight to make Vancouver affordable, accountable, and accessible for everyone. I’m excited to work with her.” - Cllr @SeanOrr vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/05/03/cop…

“We need to dream bigger. We need to fight harder. We can win what people really need and do it with integrity.” -Stephanie Allen

not in my oblast pardner

@schtev69 i like da bus

Reminder folks in Vancouver pay 18.5 cents/Litre to Translink - an unelected accountable body with the power of taxation (undemocratic) - PLUS another tax - the BC low carbon fuel tax 17 cents. 😲 #bcpoli

@mortimer_1 so do you not know anything at all or what?

Socialism and ideology has consequences eventually

@MikeKlassen be real for like 5 seconds this is pathetic

Apparently this is a “million dollar sign.” If investing in community centres, parks, and infrastructure people rely on every day is the punchline… I’m happy to hold the sign. Back to Basics. Back to Community. #Vancouver

@calciopundit @KenSimCity why you tryna fuck?

@sensualnexus @KenSimCity Okay go to Hillcrest right now and let me know. Post pics for everyone to see.

We’re making the largest investment in community centres in the City’s history. Council has dedicated $400 million over the next four years to rebuild five of Vancouver’s aging community centres: Dunbar, Hastings, Kensington, Kerrisdale, and Roundhouse. Why these five? We wanted to deliver the greatest possible benefit within a four year window. That meant prioritizing facilities in need of replacement or significant renovation that were exclusively controlled by the City of Vancouver. By selecting these sites, we’ll be able to get started quickly, and deliver better community centres sooner.

@calciopundit @KenSimCity no they don't ya weirdo lmao

@KenSimCity The community centers have bigger changing rooms for gender diverse people than for men or women. Never going back.

@VanJones68 shut up bitch

Hasan Piker says the designated terrorist organization Hamas is 1,000 times better than Israel. His statement outraged many — who now just want to write him off. That's a mistake. He has a massive audience and is emerging as one of the major voices of his generation. Those of us who disagree owe him — and his audience — a real argument. Here's mine … And my position doesn’t come from ignorance about oppression. For a big chunk of my life, I was a grassroots activist — because of the pain of my own people. During those years, I was lucky enough to learn from elders who had been in the Black Panther Party, in SNCC, in the ANC. These were people who had to choose whether to pick up the gun — and how to use it if they did. They taught me this: even in armed struggle, there are principles. No women. No children. No rapes. No kidnapping. Mandela held that line. Amílcar Cabral held that line. You don't become what you're fighting. Hamas fails that test. They are not fighting for MORE freedom for Palestinians. They're fighting for less. They want theocracy, not democracy. And their means? They don’t use principled armed struggle (hitting military targets). They use terrorism (targeting civilians). The vast majority of Americans — including those who sympathize with the Palestinian cause — reject terror tactics. Reasonable people would agree on three principles: secure homelands for both peoples; no hatred for Jews or Muslims; and protection for all civilians. Hamas’ approach undermines all three. That's the conversation Piker's audience deserves. Not name-calling.

@Glinner sir I think your head is wrong

Green Party broadcast

@PierrePoilievre guy who knows how to smile normally

Prime Minister, enough speeches and theatre. It's time for results at home: conservative.ca/cpc/no-more-il…

@AnitaAnandMP gonna do something about it or nah

Canada joins its partners in expressing concern about the death penalty law passed by the Israeli Knesset that, in practice, systematically targets Palestinians. This discriminatory law adds to a growing list of actions which enables illegal settler violence while dehumanizing the Palestinian people. Canada unequivocally opposes its application. We reaffirm our commitment to human rights and the global movement to abolish the death penalty.

@davidfrum why did you do that

I asked Claude AI to compare the Hasan Piker audience to the cringe wine moms at MSNOW. "[O]n a normal night, MS NOW's primetime audience of roughly 900,000 is about 25 times larger than Piker's typical concurrent stream of 36,000."

@Xoen1X well you're wrong and reactionary. also untag me dingdong

@alexxstation @sensualnexus I really don't think these idealist philosophers hold up against the opening chapter of Engels' Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. But at the end of the day, I just don't think women should be required to accommodate males, which I see as the sum total of "queer".

Dear god, the NDP, folks.

@Xoen1X hegel deeze

@sensualnexus People whose principles are grounded in biological, material reality would make for better scientific socialists than those who appeal to reactionary Young Hegelian delusions.

@Jason liar

Here’s the truth: we’ve already reached AGI — we just haven’t implemented it broadly. Millions of jobs are being lost as we speak. Entire careers will be retired. The rich and powerful investors and founders who implement AGI will get bizarrely rich beyond what makes sense. It will break people's brains on both sides. It’s gonna suck for a lot of our friends and family, who aren’t obsessed with their careers, because things are moving so fast they won’t have even left the starting gate by the time the awards are handed out. We’re gonna have to solve for a lot of second- and third-order effects, some of which will suck (job loss) and some of which will be awesome. AI will create free/cheap energy, free education, cheaper and better food, homes that build themselves and medicine that makes you as healthy as a 30-year-old when you’re 100. … change is hard, but humans are the most adaptable species nature has ever created. We can figure it out.

@Xoen1X no

@alexxstation The left needs to reject queer. It's just a male supremacist industry. Fully anti-materialist drivel to excuse male appropriation of women's rights. Also leads to absurd situations like this, where pronoun enforcement overrides a principled stand against genocidal wars.

@vote4team "participatory neighbourhood planning" aka the opinions of landlords matter more than renters

While Sean Orr talks like a typical politician, TEAM is the only party committed to repealing and replacing the Broadway Plan. We’re serious about participatory neighbourhood planning and putting residents first. Learn more here: voteteam.ca

@vote4team standing up for renters by coddling the landlord class that is the problem in the first place. yeah man your trickle down bullshit will definitely help eventually, let's keep trying that.

Sean Orr thinks he’s a progressive while refusing to fight for renters getting displaced by the Broadway and Rupert and Renfrew Plans. He’ll tax homeowners but won’t stand up for renters. How is that progressive?
