Vote early for municipal elections, BC. You're "just not into politics"? Your landlord is. Your employer is. Guy whose doorbell sas it's recording you every time you walk by, he votes. Folks who hate immigrants, they're "into" voting. You won't shape your city? They will. #bcpoli #yyj #yvr

And when these political illiterates vote, their willful ignorance harms all of us.

So cute. :) But also so powerful. Just two generations ago, this wouldn't happened because [dozens of reasons]. Three generations ago, it was illegal. So... it's not just a baby dancing. That she is, is beautiful. That we see it as beautiful? Also beautiful. Change is slow, but it's change.

Not all all sad that a con man and a grifter is gone. Sad for the thousands of people that he exploited.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

I don’t pay $1,903 a month for a “mid” quality small one-bedroom apartment by the ocean and walk everywhere and live a modest lifestyle because BC sucks. If someone on my income is willing to suffer additional costs for this lifestyle, I’m certain a millionaire will too. I WALK to this view.

That’s a parliamentary petition already backed by Don Davies (who should been the NDP leader), so the point is to get it lotsa support so it has more teeth at the reading. Get your friends and family to sign. Canadian healthcare is our birthright. Let’s stop these nefarious bastards.

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Since yesterday would have been the 90th birthday of the late Jim Henson, and since today marks one month since Dolly Parton died, here they are singing a duet (with Henson voicing Kermit the Frog) on Dolly's variety show in 1987. See you around.

Woo! Cilantro from Kwong Lee Farms in Burnaby, BC. My store used to only carry Californian cilantro, & I was boycotting so hard I switched to salsa verde so I wouldn’t need cilantro. Sometimes they got Mexican. Lately, it’s been BC! I hope they can continue stocking it. I’d love it regularly.

Voted today in the Abby-Mission by-election. Upside: voting was quick and easy, poll workers were friendly and kind. Downside: I was the only voter there. I know it was mid-day on a work day but still… doesn’t bode well for election turnout.

No expert here… but Findlay remains on the ballot in the Abby-Mission by-election. She has not left the party, she just left it without a leader. As for your first question, my personal preference is that the NDP focus on governing. They don’t need an election which is just a costly distraction.
