Complaining about taxes should be seen as shameful behaviour.
"Why don't you want to contribute to the society that makes your life possible? What's wrong with you?" should be the standard response to anyone (but especially anyone in the top 10%) who has the fucking temerity to complain about taxes.

Taxes are good! Taxes are how we pay for all of the things that make society a good place to live!
People who don't like taxes are selfish and stupid and make our entire society worse for their own short term, often barely noticeable gain.

approved despite over 600 speakers signing up to speak to the budget, with all but a tiny number strongly opposed, and following a public engagement survey that found the majority of respondents supported a property tax increase to avoid cuts.
Vancouver's 2026 draft budget has PASSED.
Approved on a 7-4 vote on party lines, with ABC in favour and councillors Fry/Bligh/Orr/Maloney opposed.
Property tax freeze, $50 million more for VPD, and cuts to Arts, Culture, Planning and Sustainability departments, among others.
Full story to come.

I'm completely fine with a lifetime driving ban for anyone who's danger driving kills a person.
If anything there is not enough accountability in Canada for dangerous drivers.

what drives me insane about “centers and corridors” in US urban planning is that seemingly no professionals in the field have stopped and realized that this “best practice” has not worked anywhere it’s been tried

important to realize just how seriously feelings of powerlessness in the face of vast structures & a learned understanding of the futility of individual effort are generational givens that anybody my age or older (work hard! succeed! things work out!) has no way to fully grasp—but we need to try
Young people feel like we've lost agency over our lives. We can't *really* pick where to live, or whether to change jobs, or how many kids to have -- the cost of living makes us feel trapped.
Younger candidates can powerfully speak to that emotional truth. talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/young-c...

It’s amazing how much BC is being pushed to the fringes right now. The Carney gov’t has been negotiating with Alberta & Sask on pipelines, without BC. All while Saskatchewan’s potash monopolist chooses the US over BC. vancouversun.com/opinion/colu...
Saskatchewan firm's plan to export through Washington state instead of B.C. has David Eby fuming
