You have a long way to go. Wait times for specialist consults and procedures are astronomical. I recently waited nearly 2 years for hernia repair on Vancouver Island, and other waits I've had made me move back to the lower mainland. It's still bad in Vancouver but not nearly as bad as Island Health

Our healthcare plan is making a difference, but we need to keep going so we can build a future where every hardworking British Columbian always gets the top quality care they deserve.

So glad I decided to start reading The Silo series of books. I'm only early in Wool (the first volume), but it's really good so far, and if you haven't seen it on Apple TV, the series is outstanding.

The multi-billionaire CEO of Shopify thinks a “good system” is one where the poor don’t get to vote in elections and the rich get to vote several times over. I wish I was kidding. Oh, and guess what? This guy and his pals are trying to influence our politics -- and they're arguably succeeding:

If you're so worried about Canada's children, why don't you stop extracting and burning fossil fuels for short-term political gain and start worrying about the environment a hell of a lot more? You are literally destroying our children's future.

The Canada Child Benefit helps 6 million children across Canada — and we just increased it. That means families will now receive up to $8,157 a year per child.

Canadian energy security is achieved by a rapid transition to renewables, but that’s not what you’re talking about. You’re talking about energy profiteering. You’re talking about subsidizing fossil fuels to boost corporate profits. You’re talking about building pipelines on a planet on fire.

I looked back for 4 weeks on @mark-carney.bsky.social's Bluesky timeline, and not one fucking word about the wildfires across Canada. Meanwhile, he's busy approving pipelines and other fossil fuel extraction activities. It's clear he doesn't give a shit about Canadians. What a disappointment

These are the four service men and women recently killed in Trump's Iran war. 18 have been killed in all so far. I wonder how their parents feel having their children killed for no reason. So far there's no nuclear deal (like the one Obama administration negotiated) and no other rationale.

What a sad waste of ideal waterfront public gathering space. Plaza of Nations is a disgrace.

First, the VPD said they couldn't explain how they would spend $1.4 million city council gave them to police five blocks of Granville for seven weeks because it was an operational matter. Then they said they were still figuring out their plans. Now they're saying it's too complicated to reveal.

This. This is the correct, science-backed, responsible framing. Wish more news outlets did it like the CBC.
