I thought @KahlonRav did a great job as housing minister. I went back and looked at a post I wrote up in April 2023. At the time, I was hoping that BC would legalize up to six storeys by right within 800m of SkyTrain stations. morehousing.ca/ravi-kahlon 1/n

There is no red in this picture; your brain is filling in the red color. The picture is made entirely of light blue, black, and white.

Give it a rest, Harman! There are lots of pictures of Conservative MLA's enjoying a beer all over the province. And the person you're attacking isn't even an elected official.

When I first heard about this Kits Pool reservation system on Twitter, it sounded like something that was an outdated holdover from the COVID period with lots of bureaucracy for little benefit. They said that the pool was often empty even when the reservation system said it…

Poilievre could have just had Michael Cooper sign this letter. Spending so much of his own time and effort on this “long ballot” issue (instead of championing the local concerns of Battle River residents) makes it look like Poilievre really thinks this was what caused him to…

How exactly does PP propose that we start vetting candidates: "Sir, as someone born in Calgary and having lived most of your life in Ontario, can you please justify your candidacy for this riding in which you have never lived, barely visited, etc.?" cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Why was he silent when they ran candidates in the LaSalle–Émard–Verdun and Toronto–St. Paul’s by-elections? 🤔

Online outrage is the one thing Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party understands, creates, exploits and thrives on.

For months, Pierre Poilievre has supported protesters who threatened to overthrow a democratically elected gov. Now he’s attacking the legitimacy of the Bank of Canada. He is stoking the flames of populism. We cannot take this lightly. #cdnpoli   ow.ly/fc7x50IFMnx

This is not freedom. Knowing this does not make you a communist.

When it comes to the politics of housing, there are two sides to the spectrum. It isn't left and right, it isn't progressive or conservative, it is welcoming and non-welcoming. This may come as a surprise to some because often people associate "progressive" with welcoming and…

Ideology might drive clicks and shares online, but pragmatism wins in real life. ⬇️

Also - this is another example showing that British Columbia is a lot more like Ontario in public sentiment than many people realize. BC Conservatives campaign like we’re Alberta or Saskatchewan.

Their freedom of choice is not in question. Not a single one of those classic cars and trucks will be banned from the roads.

CN Rail will end its lease for BC Rail's Sea to Sky railway segment between Squamish and 100 Mile House. Local federal and provincial officials call this a historic opportunity to start rail public transit services to Whistler. #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/cn-r…

First generation was always like that throughout Canadian history. My Netherlands-born grandparents couldn’t speak the best English either, and the English often got worse the older they got. No one complained much about it.

Former residents of CRAB Park & other encampments are going mobile w/ a "Cooling Bus" to beat the heat. The Cooling Bus is a grassroots initiative led by “peers” – community experts deeply connected to the DTES. The team is “taking it to the streets” on Mon, Weds and Fridays 🚌

For a richer life, live within walking distance of: -Corner store -Grocery -School -Place of worship -Health care -Restaurants -Bars

Because they are a family. Lots of older people need to be taken care of by their children. Why do so many “family values” people hate re-uniting families so much?
