@Aaronpete_ The irony of focusing on America’s war against Iran as a distraction from Epstein is that Epstein is now functioning as a distraction from the war. Jesus, Trump has him critics working for him. 😂 He’s probably laughing his ass off at this stupidity.

Please explain. Because what I hear him saying is that a lot of the elites had connections to Epstein. As we began to discover more, a war of choice took place against Iran. As someone who believes war should be done 1.) in defence and 2.) as an absolute last resort, you can see how it is dark to send the youngest and bravest of the west to go fight a war of choice - which distracts from the Epstein file.

@ron_dwyer @cancivlib Well said. First principles FTW. People treat first principles as a choice of late. Does it not occur people that the purpose of a first principles approach is correctness & victory? It’s going to be a painful lesson for many.

@cancivlib Trans privileges are not human rights. If you can't sort out your first principles, nothing downstream of that is going to make sense to anybody.

New rules announced by the International Olympic Committee risk undermining the principle that sport is a human right. Policies that exclude athletes and authorize invasive testing have no place in a rights-respecting sporting system. ccla.org/press-release/…

@cancivlib @cancivlib confirming that in a rights-respecting system, male freedom dominates all. Progressives reintroducing the 1950s.

@omnisheva @MeghanEMurphy Ha! Quite the charmer.

@TerrifyingWords @MeghanEMurphy I see you're retarded also, so I'll go slow. That anyone believes that no woman has ever done it willingly/of their own volition is the dumb take. I imagine with your level of simping, shouldn't you be begging for visitation rights to your testicles?

Why does this retard think they know anything? They are pretty much a bellwether of every wrong take.

@kareemformayor Good strategy. Now talk about reforming the bloated & horrendous administration of @CityofVancouver & you will do very well. @Vote4ABC hasn’t cut the bloat sufficiently & @OneCityVan will make the bloat much worse. This is your avenue. ⬆️ services, ⬇️ bloat. You need both.

“Good leaders encourage diversity and dissent. Bad leaders demand conformity for control.” Your voice counts! Together… we can.

@mferreriptbokaw That’s an excellent point, @mferreriptbokaw. If “this is people’s lives” they could certainly start their own league. Unless this isn’t about the sport, & more about the politics? There seem to be lots of options here without invading women’s sports.

Why not start your own league? Women had to 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

@_MarkMyWords___ @DrMoiraStilwell Well, that certainly doesn’t bode well for their campaign. False statements will go a long way to discredit them when an election starts. If they’ll lie in a campaign, they’ll look like power hungry BC Liberals, fueling that narrative.

@TerrifyingWords @DrMoiraStilwell There are quite a few examples where Kareem got facts wrong BTC/ATM, OD deaths in the DTES, and more. Even after being corrected, he keeps posting the same misinformation in those videos. Hard to tell if it’s intentional or if he just doesn’t care.

“After leaving politics nearly a decade ago, Stilwell is now throwing her hat back into the ring because ‘people are telling me every day that something isn’t working. The rising cost of housing, food, childcare, and transportation are becoming crushing. People feel unheard. That needs to change.’”

@Stanehill @alanfryermedia AM radio.

@TerrifyingWords @alanfryermedia If you religiously listened to CBC radio, then you'd know that news is just a mere slice of their programming.

For those not quite old enough to remember, there was a time when the CBC mattered.

@Stanehill @alanfryermedia I hope you realize the stuff you know is heavily biased. I used to listen religiously. Can’t stand what it has declined to. CBC is Canada’s version of Fox News. Entertainment at best.

@alanfryermedia Whelp...the CBC radio matters to me. Not a morning goes by when it's not 'on' in my house. It's how I know stuff. About so many things.

@_MarkMyWords___ @DrMoiraStilwell Getting basic facts wrong certainly isn’t a good way for a new party to build trust. Better the devil you know may end up being the result. Hopefully they’ll clarify.

@DrMoiraStilwell Hi Moira, in your interview with Jas Johal, Kareem often gets facts wrong did he tell you Ken’s taxes are 26% vs. K. Stewart’s 22%, or did you skip fact-checking? It’s actually the opposite This VIA article puts Stewart even closer to 30%. vancouverisawesome.com/local-news/qa-…

@SelinaMRobinson @UBC @SFU @langaracollege @uvic @EmilyCarrU @mcgillu The leaders of @UBC @SFU @langaracollege @uvic @EmilyCarrU should also take note that correcting their positions on hate is extremely time sensitive. When political winds change, & they will, laggards will be seen for what they are. They can wait, but it’s exceedingly unwise.

We finally see leadership at a university campus! Yes! This is what leadership looks like @UBC @SFU @langaracollege @uvic @EmilyCarrU …. Take a look at how it’s done. Well done @mcgillu 👏👏👏

@DBHank @Ben_oharabyrne Absolutely correct. Well said.

A one and done is definitely warranted. The stupid tête carrée esteeee mon dit callus ‘Anglais salle’ should have known better! Having said that, the pandering to the outrage is probably more damaging than the initial slight. A very obvious from the top … Pm and cabinet members are obviously reading the same talking points. And it is this drama that people are fed up with. In other words, two things can be true at the same time.

The two solitudes of the Air Canada CEO controversy. If you grew up in Quebec, as I did, you probably understand the anger. If you didn't, you might not. You can find it over the top/misplaced, but its genuine, emotions are raw, let's remember the lives lost and try to be kind.

@Ben_oharabyrne This 2 solitudes is nothing new. But why would our PM make the 2 solitudes his focus? Why would a national leader inflame this division? Is he not doing the same with “reconciliation” in BC? This dangerous political behaviour is either gross incompetence or cynical manipulation.

@Tablesalt13 BC is a living, breathing social justice experiment. Reminds me of Modern Monetary Theory. Print too much $, get inflation & all hell breaks loose. What does the post SJW world look like? Probably 1950-1970?

Bro Victoria BC has a flag for periods its in comments

@KnightLegg @AndyBrookeLmstn Honestly, I had no idea @MarkJCarney was this cynically manipulative. Is this part of the elbows up persona, now aimed within Canada for political gain?

Imagine you’re the CEO of Air Canada…. ….sleepless and dealing with a brutal tragedy in real time with vast US and Canadian media coverage - and your PM decides to hit you with a cheap shot saying you lack ‘compassion’ because you lack excellent French language skills. But you’re the CEO of a regulated industry so he knows you can’t punch back. Even though his own French is carefully stage-managed. And the Governor General can barely speak it. The PM chose to use a national tragedy to score marginal political points with the Quebec language police. Tone deaf and gross. Je veux dire, c'est grotesque et d'une insensibilité totale.

@Lanefab The hilariously ironic thing is that “abundant housing” advocates don’t even realize they aren’t the solution: they’re actually the problem. Laneway-> Duplex -> Multiplex drives up land prices fueling downgraded living to maintain a price point. Laneways can’t even compete now.

Had a chance recently to sit down with CBC Stephen Quinn for the Morning Edition to talk about Vancouver housing: multiplexes, zoning, ‘character’, and some of the recent (expected) pushback from west side detached home residents. youtu.be/x2exrfnqRV0

@jacobandrs0n @Chad_WestReal @TristinHopper Fantastic book. Vastly underrated.

@Chad_WestReal @TristinHopper Indeed. The Gut is a rough but generally reliable mechanism. As Daniel Kahneman writes about in Thinking Fast, Slow.

As a child, my dad told me that most victims of crime are targeted at a time when they are going *against* their gut. They felt something was amiss, but wrongly convinced themselves it was safe. The entire culture of 2026 Canada is about teaching people to ignore that gut feeling.

@bobmackin It’s worse than that. She’s riding on the sidewalk right outside Little Cedar daycare on Commercial Street in East Vancouver. Quite the example. Very prosocial. 😬

Just a helmetless COPE city council hopeful, cycling on a sidewalk, looking into the lens. What possibly could go wrong? #vanpoli

@TheReclamare According to @USGS, the type of earthquake is also likely to cause enormous damage in any long, narrow structure because of the long wavelength of the tremors. Naturally, Vancouver is going as tall and narrow as possible. Well, until Mother Nature shows it’s not possible.

Almost no one around VanCity knows about the fault lines in the Straight of Georgia/Salish Sea Science modelled possible 7 scale earthquakes causing landslides producing 30m waves up to 40kmh
