The ABC reign has been a series of unprofessional debacle. Let’s get them out of their misery and back to whatever they used to do before.
Can't pay staff a living wage. Watching Mural festival go, and other cultural festival go, and justifying $2 million dollars to keeping the celebration of light with no business model in place. ABCs Priorities... Time to say goodbye to all of you. #Vancity #vanpoli #evictkensim #goodbyeABC

This year is the 20th anniversary of my arrival here in Vancouver to take the chief planner’s chair at 36 years old.

It’s the longest by far that I’ve lived in any city, and it especially feels like my true home because we’re raising our kids here.

I’ll keep working hard for a better Vancouver.

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores.

TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti.

Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret.

Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

The National Post published this without a single comment from a Canadian source, just single-sourced from Hoekstra entirely, if you're wondering how the quisling press is doing today
U.S. will have to send its own fighter jets into Canadian airspace if Ottawa doesn't buy 88 F-35s, Hoekstra says — National Post
If Canada doesn’t go ahead with its F-35 deal, the U.S. would have to buy more of the jets for its own air force, the U.S. ambassador says

Where do you spend your money?!
Every car in your city represents $8-12K/year being sucked out of your local economy instead of being spent on housing, goods & services.

I wish more parking-obsessed retailers & elected officials understood this.

Postmedia is not news, it is propaganda for rich lobbies. Which lobbies? You can pay them and be it!

It’s a build your own propaganda adventure sorta media company.
Why are our tax dollars subsidizing American propaganda?

I’m so angry. I’m so tired of people in global positions of power and wealth hoarders upholding them. They want us to accept mass slaughter in Gaza. They want us to accept the MURDER of people who stick up to them. They want us to accept disgusting wealth gaps while we fight for scraps. Enough!!!!

Drop the names of any Canadian companies you’ve seen working with ICE in the comments.

I’m aware of Gardaworld, Roshel, Hootsuite.

Would love to gather any and all other names.

30 km/h for cars, trucks, suvs in a city is the reasonable approach.

This mindset that speed is everything is debunked easily when you look at data. Cars are stuck in traffic and intersections most of all.

No point killing the other road users.
Meraviglioso, e sorprendente!

#Rome, whose drivers are somewhat…impatient…is latest city to limit traffic speeds to 30 km/h (18 mph).
The entire historic centre of Rome is subject to a new 30 km/h speed limit, with effect from today.

Which means they are once again only providing real-time updates on city business to a single website that's under investigation for child exploitation

They've stubbornly defended their approach

Justin we love you but as a chart enthusiast you're too smart to post charts with arbitrary start points and linear trendlines. Here's a couple we made, with the same data, that shows traffic fatalities are on the rise!

But onto a more serious analysis of this 🧵

Another example of the absurdity of our system of zoning and neighbourhood control is when NIMBYs can fight and block *daycares* in neighbourhoods.

A daycare within walking distance is the best thing ever.
Sophie Ngo and her husband spend three hours every day driving between Richmond and Vancouver just to drop off their two kids at different daycares. It is the only way they can find care. "I don’t know why it’s so hard," she says. She is right.

When countries get hooked on US tech, their governments are constrained in reining in tech’s harms while most of the economic benefits accrue to the United States.

It’s time to break out of that trap — but that means challenging the Silicon Valley model, not creating our own digital colonizers.
