The Conservatives actions would push LGBTQ kids back into the closet, and remove policies that all studies show, keep all kids safer. Chaos and culture wars- the BC Conservatives.

Fun Vancouver pastime: reporting illegal Airbnbs in my neighbourhood, pushing for that affordable rental stock to head back to the local market where it’s needed most. Want to help your own community? It’s surprisingly easy to spot them 👀

Romans were known to create tombs for their dogs and gave them epitaphs to remember them by. One such inscription reads “I am in tears, while carrying you to your last resting place as much as I rejoiced when bringing you home with my own hands 15 years ago.”

In a recent report, researchers looked at the connection between human trafficking and missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. One of the most disturbing findings it uncovered is that sex buyers on messaging boards in Canada are advising others to specifically find Indigenous women and avoid white women. Why? The Globe's @temurdur explains the troubling logic. 🔗 Read the full story: theglobeandmail.com/canada/a… Video by Temur Durrani, Bianca Bharti and Kelsey Wilson. #MMIWG

The US trying to stage yet another Brazil coup
Breaking: US company Meta has, without explanation, disabled Lula’s Instagram and Facebook profiles’ ability to run ads, 10 days from election. The President’s campaign has complained and threatened legal action, citing this as another example of US interference and manipulation.

You paused social housing development and gutted $120 million in core city services from the budget. You cut millions in government grants that directly benefited the poor. Now you're trying to act hurt like it hasn't resulted in mass suffering?
A whole campaign built around the slogan “Evict Ken Sim” to viciously malign him. “Scapegoating the poor and homeless. You know, that was us.” When Ken holds an “Evict Ken Sim” button, it hits hard. His family faced real evictions and financial instability over and over again, growing up as immigrants with little to their name. And the family who lived through those struggles with him didn’t sign up for these personal attacks. Ken got into politics so his kids, and other kids growing up in Vancouver, have a chance to build a future here. That’s why safety and affordability are at the heart of ABC Vancouver’s campaign. The full change we all wanted hasn’t happened yet. There is still more work to do. The Public Safety Plebiscite is the next step on safety: stronger City laws against open-air hard drug use and a call for secure medical treatment, including voluntary and 100+ involuntary care beds. On affordability, it means a 0% property tax increase, help for families and a thriving economy where people can earn enough to get by and build a future here. Real change takes leadership that can face difficult battles and even brutal personal attacks that hit closer to home than you would ever want and keep going. Because Vancouver is worth it. #ABCVancouver #PublicSafety #Affordability

looks like shit
It’s here. The first AI feature film to screen in theatres. The first AI feature film by a female filmmaker. Not a collection of shorts. A feature film. Not a studio. One woman with a laptop. Not a paid PR campaign. An organic social movement. I didn’t just make a film. We made history. Together. Because I never for a second thought this was about me. It’s much much bigger than me. The era of waiting for permission is over. I’m living proof. And that makes some people mad. Because there are no gatekeepers where there are no gates. BOSS (2026). Coming soon to a theatre near you.

It's a bubble. It's a Ponzi scheme. It's plagiarism weaponized by talentless tech bros. We don't have to accept shit.
Jeffrey Katzenberg, the legendary Hollywood producer and executive, says Hollywood needs to accept AI as a tool. “Hollywood needs to accept that AI is not going away. The energy they are spending trying to make it disappear is energy they are not spending deciding the terms on which it will exist. And the terms are everything. The north needs something from it that they cannot build and cannot buy: creativity. The kind that takes a blank page and conjures a single right answer where there was none and has held audiences for a century. Without it, the most powerful reasoning engine ever invented will still be missing the only thing that makes a story worth telling.” variety.com/2026/biz/news/je…

“The figure of the cannibal in our culture and in our stories…is not the caricature that it's often reduced to in Western literature of a human who eats people. It's been a conduit for something much bigger…” #Indigenous #FirstNations #poetry #books windspeaker.com/news/windspe…
