The voice of a particular Victoria neighbourhood. We're dissociating. From you. From ourselves. We’ll write a better bio later. Harm reduction, cycling, stopping genocide, clover point discourse, owning the NIMBYs, etc. etc.
“We have zero interest in co-ownership or economic benefits of a project that has the potential to destroy our way of life and everything we have built on the coast." -- Coastal First Nations President Marilyn Slett

A 2021 study in Ontario found that, of those people who were employed when they died of an overdose, 1/3 worked in the trades. And in BC, it's half.

Many people are being constantly displaced and having their stuff stolen by bylaw. They have no home to go to and insufficient public services, but some downtown Victoria business owners “feel” safer, so.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.

“The best that can be said of Canada’s presence at COP so far is that it’s not as actively harmful as Prime Minister Carney’s major projects agenda back home.”
The votes on the federal budget forced ministers to leave critical international climate negotiations a week early, right as negotiations are going down to the wire.
Canada is missing in action at COP30 and now is less able to even participate. An all around pathetic summit for Carney's gov.
