They heard from hundreds of Vancouverites, many of whom were home- and business-owners who said “please don’t freeze my property tax. I like parks and libraries more,” and they still went through with this budget that is (at best) 1/10 the size of a normal one.
JUST IN: Ken Sim and ABC have voted through a Budget that makes deep cuts. 

This austerity budget makes Zero Sense.

Ran the new Discworld RPG Hogswatch adventure from @modiphius.bsky.social for the Punks today and it was just lovely to be back in Sir Terry's world of silliness, satire, and heartwarming vibes.

Wishing everyone a delicious pork (or pork replacement) pie filled holiday season!

unclear how it would even save money to remove these but the vibe of this budget is really just scraping together the barest public amenities, crushing them into fine powder, and handing the VPD a rolled-up $50 million bill
Listening to Vancouver Council budget discussion in the background this morning. In response to a question from @seanorr.bsky.social about where they'll be retracting from the city just said they're planning to REMOVE baby changing tables and menstrual product dispensers to save costs. Shameful.

Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays on a magnificent season. It is a shame either team had to lose. And this was a gut punch. 💔💔

Classy players, fanbase, and truly one of the finest cities in the world.

Future is bright with Yeasavage, Barger, and Vladdy.

Now go re-sign Bo.

If a team you love is playing a close game in the playoffs baseball becomes the worst sport in the world. My deep regrets to Jays and Dodger die hards.

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

If the Blue Jays win the title, do you think Kens Burns will completely ignore it in his next documentary just like last time?

Who lives? Who dies? Who summons a giant robot to fight Wayland-Yutani's so-called perfect organism? (Hint: the answer to at least two of these questions might be no one)

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?

How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.
"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.

"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.

Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.
The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.

This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.
