  1. "[...] TransLink implemented a new methodology for measuring fare evasion in fall 2023, according to a report the following June, Integrated Action Plan to Target Fare Evasion Reduction.

    The aim of the action plan is to reduce fare evasion by one percentage point, which the agency estimates could save $5 million a year.

    Though it includes educational, public awareness, and other measures, the bulk of the initiative is enforcement, with TransLink launching a dedicated fare-evasion enforcement team with eight security officers.

    Those eight transit security staff were expected to cost $648,000. It’s not immediately clear what additional expenses, if any, Transit Police expected from increased enforcement."

    I sincerely doubt there's $5 million in fare evasion happening. #translink #vancouver #bc

  2. #BC #Canada Birth Alerts were govt intrusion on pregnant women, esp 1Nat women. It was a way to steal children, at birth, without due process, no trial. It was a way to traffic newborns to “better” homes. It went on until 2019. I suspect it still is. We have to expose the behaviors of govt, and this is a good example of why. It also needs to be taught as our history— but they’ll erase it. apple.news/ASTGYmIzoQai2g8vx1j

  3. Nearly 400 people have signed our petition to BC's Ministry of Education and Child Care, asking for a two year pause on AI in schools.

    Current research shows that students who use AI learn less and understand less.

    If you are also concerned about AI in classrooms, it only takes a minute to sign.

    Thank you!
