This is the type of new development that the City if Vancouver should be focusing. It has no displacement of people renting and is near transit plus 107 really badly needed social housing units. dailyhive.com/vancouver/17...

So this is why drivers speed. “To me, our Model Y is antagonistic to enjoyable driving. I dreaded getting in it and often pushed the speed limit so I could get out of it sooner.”
Carney touted oil and gas ‘partnerships.’ But oil and gas CEOs wanted to talk Trudeau’s climate plan. Turns out they are gunning for pretty much the whole package of climate policies. These people are a death cult. thenarwhal.ca/carney-clima...

The Epstein Files were trying to escape captivity.
The Indonesian government is fast-tracking a massive project that is turning 7 million acres of tropical forest into rice and sugarcane farms. This would be the world’s largest deforestation project and would upend the lives of thousands of Indigenous people. e360.yale.edu/features/ind...
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
A pathetic attempt to distract from a white supremacist enabling death via viruses to maintain white supremacy. They know that the US empire would not have been able to occupy North America if viruses had not killed 90% of Natives. Not surprising they think viruses will save their awful ideology
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
In Texas, a state with few climate policies and where “pipelines practically build themselves”, oil production has surged 63% since 2014. Jobs? Down 33%. Increased oil and gas production paired with a drop in employment is not just a Canadian trend. 1/2 buff.ly/8ER7D0n
Austrians will complain "foreigners don't learn German" but by this they never mean the white Brits, Americans etc who have lived here for 10+ years and can barely order a beer but they definitely do mean Turks, Bosnians etc who actually do speak German, just with an accent and grammatical errors
To be fair, they’re not pro-drowning of ALL children. It’s primarily minorities and the neurodivergent: “[T]he CDC provided funding for free swim lessons for thousands of kids at high risk of drowning. This included children from some minority groups and those on the autism spectrum …”
Alternate alternate headline: Being forced to work in an office spreads disease forcing them to take more sick days.
OR lets Puerto Rico choose independence if it wants.
The mayor of Baltimore drastically slashed crime despite close proximity to Virginia with its lax gun laws and it was a blip in the news cycle and then a return to the only way to stop crime is law and order. We are a cruel, punitive country with a national press that loves facism.
Watch @Tesla Full Self-Driving v13.2.9 in Australia drive straight towards construction barriers, forcing the driver to swerve to avoid a crash. @ElonMusk your defective software is putting lives at risk around the world.
Mark Carney celebrates Labour Day by ordering labourers back to work
To be fair, it is called ARTIFICIAL Intelligence.

Happy No Peak Rail Fares day! A policy brought in by the @scottishgreens.org , scrapped by the SNP, and only reinstated thanks to excellent campaigning by trades unions and our Green MSPs. Swapping your car for the train makes so much sense for our planet, and now for your pocket too!
‘Nature is an ally’
They should do it anyway for the environmental benefits.
Mark Carney joins in a shameful Canadian tradition. If Carney never had any intention of taking responsibility for sheltering refugees, then maybe the Toronto voters who delivered all but one of our federal seats to his Liberals should instead have given them to somebody else. #Opinion

Reported. This is an absolute mess and wrong on so many levels. You should know better.
Sadly, suspect a lot of the issue is racism.
Thx! The mistake I made was not taking enough long breaks. Breaking into a bunch of 6km walks with an hour or two break between them would have been a lot easier on the poor feet.
Yet another reason to lower the voting age to 16 or even 14.
I’ve walked the whole route in a day. My feet were really tired.

By a New Zealand company that uses the name of the capital of another country likely without permission or giving anything back. Because if they did, they would say it on their website. Typical corporate colonial nonsense.
The white supremacist US empire was only able to occupy America because smallpox killed 90% of Natives. Sadly surprising now that white supremacists think that viruses will save their empire now.
And wealthy white businessmen who used genocide and ethnic cleansing of Natives to steal their land.
The very Divided States, just months before the 250th anniversary of it winning its battle to enable westward expansion into Native land through genocide as world’s most powerful fading oligarchic empire, collapsing into authoritarianism and fascism
Yep. May contain mold and cigarette butts.
The Colorado River is the ‘lifeblood'of the Colorado River Indian Tribes. Now they want to give the river the same legal rights as a person. www.kunc.org/news/2025-08...
Just went thru a “DUI Checkpoint” They pulled over some cars and let others thru. Every single one pulled to the side was a person of color. #FuckICE AND #FuckCops Trust no one. I’m so pissed. Van Nuys. West of Woodley on Roscoe. Be careful, folks.
Because the US empire was started by wealthy white businessmen to serve their colonial business interests that include genocide of natives to steal their land. Pretty obvious the system was set up for businesses regardless of the impact on people.
“They’re not separate from Canada. This whole push to want to try to separate, if that’s what they want to try to do, by all means, but you’re not leaving with Mohawk land. You don’t have jurisdiction over us.”
At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.
You are missing that it is ineffective whatever the point is. Unless the point is to distract from the real problems Trump is causing.
That is exactly what people have been trying to do the last 10 years. It obviously hasn’t worked.
People mainly care about how they are doing economically. Almost all of Newsom’s trolling distracts from that.
Making fun of Trump has proven to be totally ineffective over the last 10 years. He is an entertainer and loves the attention. Why on earth does anyone think it will be effective now?

fossil fuels are a dying industry that continues through automation and cost-cutting. Alberta could be a green energy superpower if it wasn't for business/political elite failure. There's a reason why AB youth unemployment is highest in Canada.

It is no longer a theoretical possibility that polluters could be held responsible in court — it is a real and rising legal tide, writes Senotor Rosa Galvez www.nationalobserver.com/2025/08/25/o...
Charlie Angus. Neoliberalism isn't mentioned, but truly this is the topic here. "Democratically elected governments needed to be limited to the function of providing tax breaks for the wealthy while cutting public spending and stripping regulations."
The normalization of fascism continues apace.
This is an INSANE decision by the E.U. “By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.” This will kill people.

The only thing we have an abundance of is Greed. And that is causing the shortage of everything else.
A normal country would regulate this BS, but the US is not in the business of restricting things that kill people, including guns, SUVs, fossil fuels, and machines that convince people to commit suicide.
YIKES! Cars are too expensive. MASSIVE government investment is needed in passenger rail and bus service plus accessible walking and cycling infrastructure so people aren’t forced to drive and buy expensive dangerous vehicles. www.acturgently.org/climate_solu... youtube.com/watch?v=omjx...
A bit over a day left to submit the government's pre-budget consultation form online. There are write-in options everywhere, so you can demand renwed and/or increased WAGE funding (and other important things). Go do it!
Nearly all federal funds for gender equality could disappear in the next two years. If the funding isn't renewed, Canada's Department for Women and Gender Equality could see its budget shrink by more than 80%. pressprogress.ca/federal-fund... via @pivot.quebec
Sigh. Gullible politicians will let the grifters in the oil and gas industry con them out of billions in public dollars while lowering the cost of oil and gas to other countries.
Hey housing folks. AI is preventing badly needed homes from being built in many places. This is just one example.

One of my last for Mvskoke Media. Happy it's about community that has my heart: Citizens Beyond the Reservation or, as I'm calling us, Citizens of the Majority of The Mvskoke Nation. We hold more power than we know or believe. It's time it's recognized. shorturl.at/EvNbz
It is also filled with deep fakes of @mark-carney.bsky.social pitching a scam. I keep reporting and blocking them but YouTube keeps on displaying them. Time for legislation with big fines on YouTube and others who keep profiting of fake and scammy ads.
Fortunately, as conservatives candidates found out after years of opposing bike lanes in Vancouver, it is a wedge issue that divides their potential voters.
NO. Did an AI write this?
NEW: Anthropic has reached a preliminary settlement in a class action lawsuit brought by a group of prominent authors, marking a major turn in of the most significant ongoing AI copyright lawsuits in history.
Israel killed five journalists when it attacked Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis on Monday using a ‘double-tap’ attack.

They switched to AI because Crypto failed. AI uses the same GPU-based tech so it was a convenient horse to back, preserving the NVIDIA bubble. They're desperate to milk this for all it's worth.

The EU must use the anti coercion instrument now, or be humiliated. Europe must be free to enforce its own law on its own soil.
From Al Jazeera news Vancouver August 24, 2025: Protesters in solidarity with Palestine rallied in front of Canada's national broadcaster, CBC, over its coverage of Israel's war on Gaza and the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
It follows Jingjing Zhang, a lawyer who has spent decades pushing Chinese companies to use better social and environmental practices. Now, she's helping lawyers across the Global South do the same. insideclimatenews.org/news/2408202...
Earlier this year, I went to Zambia's Copperbelt region to report on environmental damage caused by China's Belt and Road Initiative. A Chinese state-owned mining company's waste pit, known as a tailings dam, had spewed millions of gallons of acidic and toxic sludge into communities and rivers. 🧵
