As 2025 wraps up, I’m grateful to serve people in BC with extraordinary colleagues, focused on delivering mandated priorities, supporting frontline workers through tough economic conditions, less‑than‑ideal situations south of the border, labour actions.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

The funniest thing about the Newsom stuff is, I don’t think a lot of these MAGAs realize he’s making fun of them and of Trump. They seem to think he’s “copying” Trump or something. Total lack of awareness of satire.

Police in the United States are wearing masks. Let that sink in about how bad things have gotten there. Who would visit a country or place like this?
Trump is tired of people, who he believes love him, not loving him. So he's going to force them.
This is sad.
New video shows FBI, MPD, and DEA agents patrolling the streets of the Georgetown neighborhoods of Washington, DC, like it’s some kind of war zone.
This isn’t a “crime emergency” — it’s pure political theater by Trump.
