This "significant labour legislation" could very likely end the right to strike for thousands of workers through expanding whose work is "essential," lengthening bargaining timelines or introducing US style laws. pressprogress.ca/mark-carneys...

The defeat of Vancouver’s Villages Plan is a major setback for addressing our housing crisis and appears to mark the end of the Vancouver Plan, which has been the main focus of our planning department since 2018. Read more in my first piece for Sightline!

Far-right billionaire, and funder of the BC conservatives, on that list. It's so funny that his funds likely went to him being investigated.

Chip Wilson was one of the people hired to be tailed by this private investigator. If you're not following BC politics, you're missing a hell of a show right now.

Scenes such as this where the light is reflecting on the water are accomplished through a process called "backlighting", "underlighting" or "bipack glow". To create the effect a matte is cut and light is shone through the holes.

I'm ranking every mall in Metro Vancouver. In today's episode — Henderson Place! Located right next to a Coquitlam SkyTrain station, there is a lot of really fascinating things about the sister to Tinseltown, but is it actually a good mall? www.foodcourtinsession.ca/mall-profile...

Mall Profile #15: Henderson Place, by Justin McElroy

Henderson Place has a good food court, a good design, a good location, and yet, a third to a quarter of all its storefronts are empty. Why?

The washroom sign at the beginning of the latest Chainsmoker Cat seems like an innocuous gag, but has the undertone of suggesting that not all washrooms allow beast people. Also... no beast person accessibility?

It's really something that Alan Moore is still like actually the most normal and not insane comic book writer. Glad that avenue of pop culture missed me entirely.

Also, I started watching Wizard Barristers because of the latest episode of the Zannen, Canada podcast where they reviewed the show. It's a very fun listen, definitely recommend it. bsky.app/profile/jbet...

New podcast is out! @karlrolson.com and I talk about Wizard Barristers, the 2014 anime by Yasuomi Umetsu, famous for its liminal depiction of a Real Canadian Superstore, its half-Canadian protagonist and its penultimate episode that made it to air shockingly unfinished. www.zannen.ca/2026/08/epis...

I sampled a few episodes of Wizard Barristers the other day and I'm honestly shocked this anime never got a tie-in video game. The show is basically just Ace Attorney with wizards and mechs. I could easily imagine Mages or Marvelous publishing an AA clone for the Vita starring these characters.

Update 2: Looks like an r/Cineplex user said that that their theatre in Western Canada got a fixed version and said it was good? I’m willing to give it a chance and in the worst-case scenario, walk out and get the refund. www.reddit.com/r/cineplex/s...
