@P_Ratchford If they pay zero property tax, do they have their own police, fire, schools, and community centers? Or are they going to be subsidized forever?

The Squamish indian tribe put up ZERO cash equity for phases 1 and 2 of this project in Vancouver, and they pay ZERO property tax. You put up all the money, while the chiefs, lawyers, and developers take all the profits. Absolute grift maxing.

I bet the leftist judges and law makers live in secluded suburban neighbourhoods with security.

@MrAndyNgo So he's insane enough to kill people but not insane enough to be locked up? When did criminal's rights to harm others outweigh public safety? Good luck 'progressive' retards.

A Seattle man who shot and killed an eight-month pregnant Korean-American woman and nearly killed her husband when they were driving to work has been found not guilty by reason of insanity. Cordell Goosby m—rdered Elina Kwon and her unborn baby in June 2023 when they were stopped at a red light. Prosecutors did not charge him for killing the baby due to concerns about protecting abortion in the liberal state. After hearing testimony from defense medical experts that Goosby was "insane" at the time of the shootings, the prosecution agreed to have the case ended through the not guilty motion. Goosby will be committed to an institution and regularly evaluated to see if he is fit to be released to the public. ngocomment.com

@lakecitygirl @mortimer_1 One of the hundreds of NGOs, law firms, or native groups that he funneled billions to. It's not hard to understand crony socialism.

@mortimer_1 Who will David Eby work for when he's out of his current job? The chances of him being relected are pretty low imo.

The KABOOM for BC economy and financial situation is here. 💣💣💣💣 Look forward to see how the 152 BC government communications staff will spin this as a positive. The "Trump' blame is getting old.

Crony socialists robbed the province to give billions to their cronies and supporters. Now unfortunately the bill comes due. Governments may be temporary but debt is forever. Treasonous NDP.

@CTVVancouver Sounds good, I'm sure all the champagne socialist green voters will be happy and proud to use their own labour to build it.

All aboard the train to Whistler or Campbell River? B.C. Green leader proposes province-wide rail network ctvnews.ca/vancouver/arti…

@JimMcMurtry01 Insanity

@JimMcMurtry01 With this much money at stake, I suspect the lawyers suing the government to be incentivized to offer lucrative 'jobs' or 'contracts' to govt insiders to help them win these cases.

The money shovelled to small, mixed-race Indigenous communities is so large that the legal fee in one case was $510 million.

@KarlDHarrison What do you think about the other candidates in the race?

How can we end SOGI if you vote for liberal candidate Caroline Elliott who supports its. The NDP is saying thank you to her. Literally. She can't "school ma'am" her way out of this one.

@DavidColetto @avilewis Structural reform as in populist economically illiterate socialism? They're already pretty good at presenting 'redistribution' and government control as the solution to everything.

Tomorrow, I'll publish a new essay I wrote about @avilewis and the opinion environment he'd enter if he wins the NDP leadership. Fundamentally, I think his central strategic challenge would be to present radical structural reform not as an additional source of uncertainty but as a means of restoring predictability in areas such as housing, food prices, and employment security.

The modern 'progressive' is so melodramatic. Everything is a 'crisis'. They see themselves as the heros of some civil rights movie. They talk about the 'hard work' of governing but always arrive at the economically illiterate easy populist solutions.

@iamrobinskies Wilbur's a great example of the weird mind of a modern 'progressive'. At the core they have no real principles, fail to see economic causality, and obsess over the 'marginalized' at the expense of the regular person.

You've got libs out here dooming and insinuating that Caroline Eliot is BC's Danielle Smith and still people will swear "sHe'S a SeCrEt LiBeRaL". Face it guys, you don't trust her because she presents well, that's it.

@PeterMilobar This you? vancouversun.com/opinion/column…

A new Mainstreet poll shows what’s at stake. I am the only candidate who would win a strong, clear Majority Government against David Eby’s NDP. If we want to create jobs, grow our economy, and repeal DRIPA — we have to win. 👉 Join our movement: PeterMilobar.ca/membership #bcpoli #readytoleadbc

@yipengGe You are a great example of a highly educated person in their specific field being totally full of shit and wrong on everything else.

Harm reduction saves lives. The Ontario government's decision to cut all public funding for supervised consumption sites in the province is a deadly policy decision that will result in more deaths from overdoses. Supervised consumption sites are a healthcare service for people who use drugs. To deny and defund medically necessary healthcare services in the toxic drug crisis environment is abhorrent and deeply unjust.

@yipengGe How are you consistently wrong on so many issues? Do you even look at credible research rather than activist driven cherry picked data?

Yesterday the Ontario government gave notice to all publicly funded supervised consumption sites that their funding will be cut after 90 days, and thus will be forced to cease operations on June 13, 2026. As a family doctor, I understand the important work of harm reduction as treatment, and the importance of other treatment services for substance use. Supervised consumption sites operate from a harm reduction approach with the primary goal of keeping people alive and preventing overdose deaths. They allow people to use previously-obtained drugs under the supervision of a healthcare worker. They provide sterile supplies, overdose prevention and management, as well as low-barrier access to other health and social support services. Some sites also offer drug checking services to determine whether the patients’ drugs have been laced with toxic substances. All of this is essential and medically necessary healthcare for people who use drugs. Having worked with patients who access safe consumption sites, I know that this is a life-saving healthcare service. This decision to withdraw all public funding for supervised consumption sites is a death sentence to likely many patients and people who access these services. Harm reduction saves lives. The Ontario government’s decision to cut all public funding for supervised consumption sites in the province is a deadly policy decision that will result in more deaths from overdoses. Supervised consumption sites are a healthcare service for people who use drugs. To deny and defund medically necessary healthcare services in the toxic drug crisis environment is abhorrent and deeply unjust.

@LeftHandStu He's one of the few with the conviction and moral backbone to actually be a civic leader. All these other professional managers of Canadian corps are just in it for a salary and scared to stick their necks out. There's absolutely a lack of leadership in the business community.

It’s honestly wild that the CEO of one of Canada’s largest corporations is this openly and explicitly anti-Indigenous. Like he’s upset at calling Canada “Turtle Island.” You’d at least hope someone this wealthy would be less of a wet blanket.

@Izengabe_ Vancouver BC tried this. It will be a complete disaster. Those hotels will be trashed. EMS calls will be daily. Government will be on the hook for millions per building in damages and repairs. Enjoy ghettoization.

$1.9 billion to house 10,000 homeless in NYC hotels for 3 years is $190,000 per homeless person. Mamdani's contract will spend $63,333 a year ($5,277 a month) to house homeless in hotel rooms with no drug or mental health services. This is what Mamdani's raising your taxes for.

@hernandezforny @ZohranKMamdani HAHAHAHAHA this will be a beauty. Those hotels will be trashed. Enjoy constant police & fire calls around those hotels. And $ millions each year in water damage. NYC, the FO to your FAFO is here.

New York City says there’s no money, yet @ZohranKMamdani just signed a $1.86 BILLION no bid contract to house people in hotels. That’s about $330 per night per room, nearly $10,000 per month or $120,000 per year. Meanwhile taxes keep rising and services are cut. Many being housed have contributed little or nothing to New York’s tax base, yet taxpayers are footing the bill. When I am New York State Comptroller, I will audit every penny of these hotel shelter contracts. New Yorkers deserve answers. A real watchdog is coming.

@mortimer_1 @CraigKeatingNV socialists only put other's people money where their mouth is, since the beginning of time

@CraigKeatingNV Put your money where your mouth is and voluntarily register aboriginal title on your property. Let us know when you have done so.

Get bent! You don't want free speech - you want speech you agree with. You say say that we "need to stop doing land acknowledgements right now" (x.com/NVanCaroline/s…). These acknowledgments only state the simple truth of history that a) First Nations have traditionally occupied land in BC and b) that they have not ceded it through Treaty or through conquest by colonial governments (and I defy the learned Dr. Elliott to show that this is not the case). What a hypocrite! What a snow flake

Karl Marx gave humanity its most murderous idea: that human suffering stems not from scarcity and the human condition, but from private property itself. This bearded parasite—who never worked a day in his life and lived off Engels' textile fortune—convinced generations that voluntary exchange was exploitation while violent redistribution was justice. The body count speaks for itself. Stalin's forced collectivization murdered 6 million Ukrainians through engineered famine. Mao's Great Leap Forward killed 45 million through sheer economic illiteracy. Pol Pot slaughtered a quarter of Cambodia's population. And every single time, the intellectuals proclaimed it "wasn't real socialism." The pattern is identical across continents and centuries: seize private property, centrally plan production, watch millions starve. But the intellectual foundation was always rotten. Marx's labor theory of value—the notion that labor alone creates value—was already debunked by Austrian economists like Böhm-Bawerk before the ink was dry on Das Kapital. Value is subjective, determined by individual preferences in voluntary exchange. Marx simply couldn't grasp that the capitalist performs the crucial function of time preference—sacrificing present consumption for uncertain future returns. Even "democratic socialism" in Western Europe required massive wealth transfers from productive individuals to bureaucratic parasites, creating permanent dependency classes and stagnating growth. Venezuela had the world's largest oil reserves and still managed to create toilet paper shortages. Cuba turned a Caribbean paradise into a floating prison where doctors flee on rafts. Every socialist experiment ends the same way: empty shelves, secret police, and intellectuals explaining why the next attempt will be different.
