I'm realizing it would be helpful to know your approximate ages, if you are comfortable sharing either here or privately! The film is set in present-day Hong Kong, and I'm not sure how much might have changed recently. Thank you so much, guys!
katereilly.bsky.social@bobbiharlow
Hong Kong friends, I'm working on a short film set in a secondary school. I'd be grateful for your help. Did you read any Shakespeare plays when you were in secondary school? Relatedly, did you attend a local school, or an international one? Please and thank you!

kind of amazing that a guy with fun socks and storm trooper art was the head of a major industrial nation and not, like, a tumblr blogger or something

It’s Census season — make sure to complete yours by tomorrow’s deadline to support data-based decision making in Canada.

With the approval of yesterday’s motion, now begins an open and transparent process to identify a qualified proponent to bring Major League Baseball to Vancouver.
League expansion is on the horizon and we know Vancouver would be the ideal home for a new MLB team.
This will be a once-in-a-generation opportunity to bring something really special to Vancouver, stay tuned.

“as a chinese trans woman, i can only say that i hope you won't ever have the opportunity to grow up in china, that you won't ever become chinese, this is the most sincere blessing i can give you”
white foreigners in general experience a different china from chinese people

@PostCnsumrChris Thank you so much for all the time and effort you've put into the podcast to tell the story of survivors.
English
There's a nice surprise at the end of the episode, so from the bottom of my heart, thanks to everyone who contributed to that! And to Audrey and Ben Luhmann who did the interview, the editing, and the truly lovely music.
English
Here's a new Wall of Silence episode. This time, I'm the one being interviewed, by @ACNAtoo member Audrey Luhmann. I share more of my story than I have before about my former bishop trying to get me to stop the podcast and why I decided to keep going.

@tomgrundy At this point I think it's more cultural differences than anything

"Hospital lighting," as I call it, weirdly popular in Hong Kong homes.
Acceptable only in bathrooms 👍

We don’t talk about that enough.

@DennisKalma @MarcNixon24 @5 Not to mention Elmo, someone hostile to Canada's sovereignty, could cut service at any time

So, wait a minute.
$24m, cost of money @5% is $1.2M annually, over 4500 people is $266/yr, or about $22 per resident per month.
I assume the cable requires little or no maintenance.
Starlink is an ongoing cost of $140 per resident per month, even at 4 people sharing a connection that still comes to $35/mo.
Looks like the government picked the cheaper option.
English
That’s $5,400 per person.
Starlink is $140 for standard internet or $70 for lower tier
No maintenance required.
But sure lets lay down a cable for internet

$24M undersea fibre-optic cable being built to bring better internet to Haida Gwaii The new cable from Kitimat to the B.C. archipelago will add resiliency for the 4,500 residents and end long outages that can last weeks or months impacting 911, education and businesses. The current cable gets damaged several times a year, especially in winter with treacherous repairs in Hecate Strait. The project is funded by Northern Development Initiative Trust and managed by community-owned GwaiiTel. Haida Nation president Gaagwiis Jason Alsop says it’s good for local artists and small businesses. GwaiiTel chair Sam Hall calls it the first stage for improving connectivity along B.C. north coast with better public safety like emergency alerts. Installation starts spring 2027 with full completion by winter.

@CNDinshorts @Prominent_Bryan You talk as if the rest of BC doesn't rely on taxes from Metro Vancouver
English
@Prominent_Bryan Looks like a sensible plan and logic and common sense. Most BC'ERS in places like metro Vancouver won't like it. 🤣

I’m running to Bring Back BC.
After years of economic decline, attacks on property rights and parental authority, and growing disorder in our communities, it’s clear: this government has lost its way.
Through hard work, I earned the trust of voters in Richmond-Queensborough, unseating the NDP incumbent and current party president to send a message that BC can do better.
Now I’m fighting for the Province where hard work is rewarded, families thrive, parents have a voice, and opportunity flourishes.
It’s time to rebuild trust, restore order, and reignite BC’s potential.
It’s time to Bring Back BC.

@Dallas_Brodie Can't imagine someone who can't hold a talk in UBC to do any serious governing
English
A OneBC government will restore the name of the Pattullo Bridge, a name that is historic and that all British Columbians can actually pronounce. In fact, we will be restoring all names that have been improperly and undemocratically changed.
Tablesalt 🇨🇦🇺🇸@Tablesalt13
🚨NEW BC announces the name for the Pattullo Bridge Replacement.... it will be called the: stal̕əw̓asəm in the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language A 2 page guide and a video is being provided by the government to pronounce this written language which was made up at UBC in 2007.

@davidallenwest You might as well just put up a picture that compares the number of seats Alberta has and number of seats the rest of Canada has and cry foul

@dkreative1 @PierrePoilievre A man of the people doesn't get a pension at the age of 31
English
And WHY isn’t @PierrePoilievre in the Epstein files?
Trudeau and Carney are BOTH elitist.
BOTH are men of status and wealth.
BOTH pretend to support women.
Pierre?
He’s a man of the people.
I don’t need a FAKE celebrity PM.
I need one who WORKS for me.

@JohnRustad4BC It's not like we're Iran or China where there is no legitimate way to change governments without foreign intervention.

Calling frustrated Canadians “traitors” while blocking the very projects that hold this country together is pure hypocrisy

David Eby@Dave_Eby
There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason. Canadians are standing together in defence of this beautiful land. 🇨🇦
English
But if a sector or company becomes so exposed to China that its economic survival depends on it, then the Chinese Communist Party can—and will—use it as leverage to influence policy choices in Ottawa. That’s how pressure and elite capture accumulates—quietly, agreement by agreement, not through one dramatic concession.
English
When Western officials sit down with Chinese Party-state counterparts, the most important decisions are often the ones not written into the communiqué.

PM @MarkJCarney's government has to strike a very careful balance between seeking economic opportunities while safeguarding national interest. In an interview with @nytimes, I urged Mr. Carney to be cautious as he embarks on this new phase in Canada-China relations.
English
Premier Eby has admitted that decriminalization was a failed experiment. Vancouverites already knew that…they’ve been living with the consequences every day.
The federal exemption expires at the end of this month. We need the Premier to follow through and end decriminalization for good.
Compassion means helping people get off the street and into care, not leaving them in dangerous situations. It’s been over a year since mandatory care beds were promised, and Vancouver has yet to see a single new bed.
We need mandatory care, real treatment, and action now to keep vulnerable residents and Vancouverites safe.

Michael Ma floor crossing guide: Wed: attend caucus, participate in voluntary secret Santa, go to CPC party without paying, saying “I’ll get you tomorrow”. Dance with CPC MPs. Get family photo with Pierre. Thurs: 3:15pm vote with CPC in the House. 6:00pm cross the floor, attend Liberal Christmas party. Super normal behaviour that doesn’t raise any questions at all.
