    NDP politician said Carney must not burn the world, and a reporter laughed and asked if he really meant Carney was trying to "burn the world"

    The answer is yes. Yes is the answer.

    Carney does not have our permission.
    We THOUGHT he was sane.

  3. There is now a by-election in North Vancouver in August. We elected a federal party who wants to build more pipelines.

    This is what more fossil fuel burning causes in Cache Creek, Boston Bar, Manning Park.

    Time to send a message to Carney.

  7. Sure, let's build new LNG and oil pipelines through all this - fucking insanity

    Vote Liberal, get and get an insider lobbyist for climate destruction as PM

  11. Of course, grifts like MAHA offer no real solutions, and basically exist to harness people’s grievances to push an agenda that frequently runs counter to the interests of their supporters. The key to the success of the grift is in making people feel heard.

    This is the same grift that opportunistic leaders like Danielle Smith and Pierre Poilievre capitalize on.

    Frustration over our failing healthcare system in Canada is real and growing. And leaders like Eby and Carney refusing to even address it pushes folks into the open arms of the grifters.

  16. Throwing things and swearing a lot - our son's nurse called from Nanaimo hospital, new patient in his room under 'droplet' protocol and would it be ok for him to wear a mask (as an FYI, hardly anyone masks there)

    Won't say if it's Covid, but likely

    1: Droplet protocol is gaslighting, anything respiratory is aerosol

    2: Why isn't that patient isolated?

    I'm fuming

  23. The bcndp says districts can pick up funding to protect and enhance vulnerable people's basic human rights.

    Yeah. But we all know right now which districts absolutely will not.

    Also, stop fucking downloading costs to lower levels of government, you right wing nasties.

    goldstreamgazette.com/2026/07/

    The ministry...said ARC’s funding has been reduced over time as part of the province’s “commitment to responsible expenditure management.”

  35. RE: socialbc.ca/@kelownanews/11697

    I suspected the success that Carney has had would have political forces in other places to trying to replicate his formula.

    Voters are getting bored with the far-right culture-war nonsense (and the chaos of the Trump administration certainly isn’t helping). The Money™️ has figured out that Carney’s ‘friendly fascism’ is another pathway to achieving their goals.

    It’s ironic that the article quotes former premier Christy Clark, who was one of the pioneers of hiding a conservative party behind the Liberal brand.

  41. Two older women just wandered down our front path, well into our property and started picking from our blackberry and blueberry patch - like WTAF?!

    Well dressed Lululemon types thinking it's just fine to trespass and steal our fruit

    Seen some weird behaviour last few years from people who appear normal, but that was stunningly audacious - total breaking of social norms, and illegal

  43. You can’t solve a housing shortage with a system designed to keep housing scarce.

    From 2006 through 2025, Canada’s dwelling stock grew by about 4.29 million units.

    To keep up with household formation, restore a healthy vacancy buffer and account for households that couldn’t form because housing wasn’t attainable, we needed about 4.96 million.

    That’s a 671,000-home shortfall in just 20 years.

    And we were already roughly 459,000 homes behind when that period began. Total gap today: 1,130,128 homes.

    About 475,000 of that is the basic demographic and vacancy shortage. Another 655,000 represents suppressed households: people who would have formed their own household if a suitable home had actually been available at a price they could manage.

    The whole system is built to protect scarcity.

    Zoning limits what can be built. Financing makes small, incremental projects unnecessarily difficult. Tax policy rewards rising property values. And with roughly two-thirds of Canadian households owning their homes, politicians know that falling prices are a much harder sell than vague promises to “build more.”

    So we get longer mortgages, bigger savings accounts, buyer incentives and subsidized loans. More money to chase too few homes.

    The Strong Towns point is that no amount of wrangling around the edges will fix a system whose basic incentives all point the wrong way.

    We need to legalize small apartments, multiplexes and backyard homes in ordinary neighbourhoods (a big step towards this in BC recently, yay!). Make financing work for small builders. Tax land more and buildings less. Build public, co-op and non-market housing at a serious scale.

    But first Canada has to pick a lane: is housing shelter that ordinary people should be able to afford? Or is it an investment that homeowners can expect to beat inflation, year after year?

    It cannot reliably be both.
