It’s not chaotic at all imho, it’s most often pretty organized. The landing and takeoff area is off limits, but once in a while someone will end up there anyway.

Falcon and Rustard hating each other is the best thing that ever happened in BC Politics

Noooo fuck if they join their voters NDP is screwed

Folded like a cheap tent

lol 100%

First Nations blessing is a bit of a gray area because they are not necessarily performed as a religious practice. Instead of a prayer, it’s interpreted (by those present) more like a First Nations representative formally acknowledging that the decisions about to be made are made with their participation.

It’s a cultural complexity that elders are often also seen as religious leaders and they’ll often speak in religious terms, but their blessing is foremost under the guise of a representative - not a cleric.

As for a regular Christian prayer… its sole purpose is a ritual for those in that religion.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Crazy high increases for Burnaby while Vancouver goes down a little bit. High density in the burbs seems to be working!

For me, yes. I’ll have to vote for these same liars over and over to keep Cons and United out. They (NDP) do get some things right once in a while, so it’s a small victory.

As a Coal Harbour resident, I would value my apartment so much more if the seawall stretch around the Harbour Green Park had more stuff going on. More sports, more stalls, more cafés, more music, more everything. Coal Harbour’s specialties are nail spas, dentists and home decor. FFS there’s a dentist clinic with a view of the marina. What the hell. Meanwhile the whole seawall stretch from Convention Center to Stanley Park gets a single food vendor, which is of course overpriced hot dogs.

Critical Mass, Vision Zero, HUB. I’ve been supporting every group I can during these somber times of ABC majority. Vision Zero is my favorite, though, it’s the one I see as more likely to achieve meaningful changes medium-term.

So much for not going quietly, they voted 8 x 3 on dismantling it.

Wow, ABC really is hitting all the checkmarks on shitty conservative takeover. If only people were capable of learning the lesson…

A park with 30 crashes a year. Someone’s tragedy is about to disappear in statistics.

Why are you taking them away to False Creek? lol

Sometimes in the effort of making a topic palatable, it’s stripped of its sprit completely.

If this was published by The Sun or something I’d understand as a positive - at least it’s an article not bent on demonization and at least advances a nuanced and humanized view -, but from the Walrus… this level of two-sidedness is probably in the lower end of what the readership expects already?

Still, I thought it was insightful. I still don’t read as many feature-length trans testimonial/articles like this as I probably should.

Show up and vote non-Poilievre, people. Please.

I implore you. Turnout is the lowest effort good thing you can do to help prevent a cycle of conservatism from wrecking the littlest good things there are to celebrate. It’s too tragic to observe this with ABC-driven municipalities right now, having that on federal level too will be too much.

Any unhinged literate person can, you just have to get a few technical questions right; then you can go on to exercise the opposite of what you answered to get that grade

New Kurtzgesagt video, a new opportunity to improve my filter bubble by blocking anyone who starts parroting factoids about their ties with the Gates Foundation 🤭 great day

Unfortunately a lot of office towers are unsuitable to be converted into housing.

How much is “a lot”? I’ve seen several retrofit projects that seemed incredibly challenging take off and be successful, so I don’t really know if there are really that many buildings downtown that would be terminally unsuitable. Specially given the somewhat uninspired and homogenous trend of glass towers, and the wild income potential of rentals in downtown.

Disgusting. Once more ABC makes itself the example of the party that doesn’t accomplish anything useful.
