Small town councillor, affordable housing advocate, kidney donor, and reader of way too many insufferably pretentious books.
I had a lot more interaction on what was once Twitter, but I can't support a company that keeps an extremist figure as its CEO.

I think the gradual suffocation of print journalism in small communities is worth the risk of undue concentration of a public broadcaster.

It's not a perfect solution, but it ensures some work will be done.

Agreed.

Dropped my x account over a year ago, and stories like this make me very, very glad to have done so.

There was a whole ecosystem in the music industry back when I was young, and I worry that instead of a pyramid of indie labels and majors with connected A&R staffers we instead have an algorhythmic slop.

Do kids read zines anymore? I doubt it. Hope I'm wrong, but it feels uniqueness is endangered.

Red Famine is an amazing book, and she's a brilliant woman. Her husband is also fantastic.

All of the horrendously cool music I used to listen to is now either "classic" or forgotten.

It's kind of a weird feeling.

That's absolutely bonkers. We're creatures of the provinces. If they want to change the legislation, they should run for provincial office in the next BC election.

Great to hear. My council isn't amenable, and you've probably thought about this ages ago, but BC Builds is a perfect fit for housing for nurses. Lisa Helps is great and her most recent presentation at Housing Central last week specifically mentioned health authorities as a potential partner.

ugh, typos.

The issue isn't the portion of America that is sane, the issue is that the portion that is currently in power. Even worse can come into power in the future if the Republicans don't clean out the Nazi-adjacent staffers which are a portion of their youth movement, which will be a threat to Canada.

Just wait 'til she asks for a piano that she can set on fire like in Holland, 1945.

To your point re: sources, this video from a session at UBCM is informative, in my view.

If there are sound issues we know who to blame.

I believe that's what Brazil is doing, more or less. Allowing importation but requiring shift in manufacturing to their country.

I've been quietly advocating for a quota based system, and perhaps income testing the quota.

Minimizes overlap with existing market, provides benefit for a lot of service workers and other medium to lower income households.

It would be a pain and a half to administer, though.

Sorry to see this in my feed.

I'd prefer it if the federal government said that Alberta oil and Saskatchewan potash can be subject to export taxes in a trade war with America as a prerequisite for the pipeline to be considered by the federal government.

I stood up to speak against it as well and had notes. Sadly...

Just so you know who to block.
