Starbucks' outrageous CEO-to-worker pay gap might make you spit out your morning coffee. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

A certain segment of social media mis very focused on a letter sent out by the city of Richmond this weekend and what a recent court ruling means for the future of land ownership in B.C. Helpful to read measured and informed takes from people who specialize in that area of law (see next post)
A post from B.C. Conservative Party leader John Rustad that says “We live in unprecedented times. In Richmond, homeowners are being told that their properties may be at risk following a decision granting control of land to an Indigenous band. Property rights form one of the fundamental pillars of Western society. This decision cannot stand.” The letter, from Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie reads Please take note that the recent BC Supreme Court decision of Cowichan Tribes v Canada, 2025 BCSC 1490 made some very important decisions which could negatively affect the title to your property. A briefing paper prepared by City of Richmond staff is attached for your reference. If you look at the draft map attached to the briefing, your property is located within the Claim Area outlined in green. For those whose property is in the area outlined in black, the Court has declared aboriginal title to your property which may compromise the status and validity of your ownership - this was mandated without any prior notice to the landowners. The entire area outlined in green is claimed on appeal by the Cowichan First Nations. Given the serious implications of this Court decision and the pending appeal, The City is hosting an information session to be held on Tuesday October 28, 2025, at 7:00pm at Richmond City Hall. We hope that you can attend to learn more about this important situation. Please phone us at 604-276-4123 or email us at mayorea@richmond.ca to confirm your attendance. Yours truly,

Today is Persons Day in Canada. It's the day when women were finally included in the legal definition of “persons”. Before that, women weren't people in the eyes of the law or government. It's the basis for our equality. It's something that doesn't exist in the US by the way.

Keep track of this kind of thing, Canada. You can choose to never buy these products, and others that turn their back on our country by bending the knee to Trump, again.

BREAKING🚨

ABC votes unanimously to lock in huge cuts to Vancouver’s public services, throw out the 2026 budget consultation, and sell out the city we love to the rich.

A shameful day for the city, with impacts to be felt for years to come.

My doctor is 5 doctors. There is an in house dermatologist and an in house urologist and 4 doctors in case mine isn’t available. They take blood, do ultrasounds. It’s free unless you need a skin tag removed for 70 bucks. Our health care works. #canada

Hey Canada, Trump brought up his whole “Canada should be the 51st State” again today, for the first time in a while, to a room full of all the top-ranked military leaders in the United States.

I’m sure that’s a coincidence. Right?

Fascinating example of the urban and rural split at the Union of BC Municipalities convention.

A resolution pushing B.C. to declare a right for renters to have pets (within guidelines) in their units was supported by Vancouver and others.

But was narrowly defeated by rural and landlord delegates.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

In 1992 Elizabeth the II opined her annus horribilis which included a fire at Windsor Castle amongst other difficulties, and one wonders if she’d rather that it simply burnt to the ground instead of hosting a horrible anus so many years later.

We all know ‘tragedy’ comes from Greek.

‘tragos’ = goat

‘aeidein’ = to sing

So ‘tragedy’ originally meant “goat song.”

Not to be confused with the GOAT song, which is probably “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman.

Hi. I know I've said this before, but it bears repeating: we have to be able to criticize Mark Carney without living in fear that doing so will help Poilievre or weaken Canada. He is our Prime Minister. Out of anyone, he deserves to be watched and critiqued. We should all be dying on this hill.

Today is a special day for me. I finally found my White Whale. It’s the unedited version of Amy Sedaris on Martha Stewart. It’s amazing because Amy is just talking a constant stream of shit to Martha and Martha and the audience are NOT into it. youtu.be/wSelbpkObfs?...
