"I just want to go to the bus stop and not have to see this hate."
Jewish Vancouverites are scared, upset and feel powerless.
The police, and even the local hospital knows exactly who is vandalizing polls, terrorizing neighbourhoods and screaming hate, but they aren't taking action.
As a Jewish Vancouverite, I also see some of these same things where I live, and I have been physically confronted by antisemites here.
If you live in Vancouver, show your solidarity or at least care with Jewish people and spread awareness and show that hate isn't acceptable here.

OpenAI violated Canadian privacy laws, federal and provincial watchdogs say
Commissioners from four of Canada’s privacy watchdogs have found that OpenAI violated Canadian privacy laws while developing and training its early models of ChatGPT.
Philippe Dufresne, Canada’s privacy commissioner, was joined by his provincial counterparts from British Columbia, Alberta, and Québec to announce the findings of a joint investigation into the tech giant. The investigation examined how OpenAI sourced training data for its early, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models, which included scraped content from publicly accessible internet sources like social media and blog posts, licensed third party sources like media outlets and stock image vendors, and user interactions with ChatGPT.
Dufresne noted that all four regulators found OpenAI had violated various federal and provincial privacy laws, including the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and its provincial counterparts in Alberta, BC, and Québec.

To all my #American progressive neighbors: I know I get verbally scrappy at times , but all you #draft dodgers are, as always, welcome here in Canada. So-called #BritishColumbia is very rugged, full of remote wilderness, islands, fjords. Not only is #pot is legal, here, but #BC bud is the best!

Upcoming #lecture talk at #UVIC.
From #Forests Frayed to Forests Renewed.
April 16, 2026.Join us April 16, 2026 at the University of Victoria for a thought-provoking talk with keynote speaker Ben Parfitt as he explores, Forests Frayed to Forests Renewed: The Case for Rezoning BC’s Public Lands.
Ben has covered #forestry and natural resource issues in #BritishColumbia since the 1980s both as a journalist and in his previous role as senior public policy analyst with the now-closed Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, BC Office. He is currently a reporter with The Tyee where he covers the forestry and oil and gas industries, among others, and their impacts on critical natural resources like water.
In his talk, Ben will explain the consequences of today’s outdated land use policies and outline how rezoning BC’s public lands can set us on a more desirable course by conserving at-risk primary forests, restore lands scarred by industrialization and support jobs in a refocused, value-oriented forest industry.
Whether you’re an activist, policy maker or someone passionate about environmental preservation this is a talk you won’t want to miss.
University of Victoria – [Lecture Theatre HSD A240]
Tickets: $20
