I can’t think of a better way to honor Jimmy Carter than donating to Habitat for Humanity. He and Rosalynn first began volunteering with the nonprofit in 1984 — 3 years after leaving the White House. They volunteered every year until 2020, eventually helping to build and repair 4,390 Habitat homes.

has there ever been a worse app from a major corp than the Epic app from Vale? I’m trying to use it and none of the features work but it manages to send me a stream of advertisements non stop.

Theory: it is utterly impossible to accomplish anything during the time you're on a BC Ferry, and yet you will always set aside something constructive to do for the sailing anyways

British Columbians must pay interest on all this government debt, to the tune of a projected $762 per person in 2024/25. That’s taxpayer money no longer available for important programs such as health care, education or tax relief.

NEW - BC will release its 2nd quarter financial results tomorrow at 1pm. These are unusually late (though they are also permitted to be late in fall election years). Will see if $9b deficit grows or not.

It’s [well past] time to ban ‘right on red.’
