It's good to hear a Liberal MP to remind yourself, again, why they don't deserve anyone's vote. Such preposterous statements. Haven't listened to Canadaland in forever but here's Lisa Goldman, you can stomach listening to the host having an internal temper tantrum. open.spotify.com/episode/15Jg...

Super exciting to see what other municipalities are doing. Fuel taxes, congestion chargers, storm water fees and parking levies. Penalties for no trees 🤓 youtu.be/sgN1SBE4W2g?...

What an odd way to make your point 👎
"The Kamloops Voters Society is launching a petition to stop this undemocratic loophole spending (supported) by Couns. Bill Sarai, Mike O’Reilly, Margot Middleton, Stephen Karpuk, Dale Bass, and Nancy Bepple." www.castanet.net/news/Letters... #Kamloops

Comment on Cllr Bepple's astute comment (“The number of units is more than all the trailer park units from 8th all the way to McLean... a phenomenal number of units). We will be doing a lot of infill! But the OCP is not protecting folks in mobile homes, is it. cfjctoday.com/2025/10/07/c... #Kamloops

Conservative Party of BC Leader John Rustad confirmed Thursday it was his idea to search the phones of party MLAs to try to find the source of a suspected leak during a caucus meeting this week.

Andrew MacLeod reports. #bcpoli

hahahaha Brad Zubyk?
"When Canadian Press reporter Wolfgang Depner asked Rustad if he was paranoid, Rustad said no. While the scrum was still underway Rustad’s chief of staff, Brad Zubyk, called it a “bullshit question” and said the reporter would be barred from asking questions in the future."

Because our entire plan hinges on private development and land speculation. And communities have to beg and justify they are deserving of services.

My kids don't bike for leisure! They just want to cut the umbilical cord lol
intheweedsktc.bsky.social
I know. My kids love the independence of biking in the neighbourhood for their after school stuff and visiting with friends and grandparents. Luckily Bank Rd. is slow and drivers are conditioned to account for cyclists and pedestrians. Still, it stresses me out.

What is the City's plan for all the folks getting off Halston bridge to go to Ord Rd and Batch. That is a short distance to cross multiple lanes to proceed to their destination. What is going on, why are people subjected to so much stress? www.radionl.com/2025/10/08/k... #Kamloops

Irish Soda bread fresh out of the oven. An Irish friend gave me this recipe and it’s easy and delicious.
A loaf of Irish soda bread sits in a cast iron pan on a cooling rack. There are canisters behind it and you can see the words Sugar on one and Tea on the other. I’m going to enjoy a buttered slice of this with some of that stewed rhubarb I spend days making back in June!

Mad props to the ER doctors. They wrapped it so no loss of skills was incurred 🎮

OMG 🙈

Today, my middle kid wiped out near Westsyde Rd because his back wheel slid on gravel. Last yr my eldest broke his scaphoid when his back wheel caught gravel on Bank Rd. Every time they leave the house I'm scared they will wipe out onto a busy street. I hate it. #Kamloops

About *a third* of global fossil fuel CO2 emissions emitted during the Industrial age have occurred in roughly the last 17 years. The previous third was emitted over a period of roughly 26 years. The first third was emitted over a period of about 131 years.

This demonstrates a high level of paranoia, distrust, and a complete lack of leadership ability.

The mentality that lead to witch trials 100s of years ago is alive and well in the conservative caucus.

Rustad was asked whether he is paranoid, given the phone search admission

"No," he said

Rustad's chief of staff took umbrage at the question, called it bullshit and vowed the reporter will never get another question (It was CP's Wolf Depner so we'll see about that)
