We learn that Howard Lutnick threatened to send US troops across the Canadian border "by sundown" if we didn't back down. The threat was made over the plan to retaliate over arbitrary tariff with an energy surcharge. Canada must be ready for all threats from the USA. youtube.com/shorts/EKjjV...

A post by a political official attacking Muslims and calling for the expulsion of anyone supporting their religion? That should be immediate grounds for firing BC Conservative campaign director Katy Merrifield. #BCPoli #BCLab

The White House has launched a scorched earth war against the International Criminal Court. They are protecting the war criminal regimes of Russia/Israel. Canada and Europe aredefying Trump. This sets the stage for a showdown over the rule of law. charlieangus.substack.com/p/line-in-th...

The BC NDP Govt had only a 1-seat majority The BC Conservatives took advantage of this & repeatedly tried to force an election & almost succeeded several times Had my MLA not voted from hospital hours after giving birth, we'd have had an elxn 18 months ago #SurreyBC www.threads.com/@mourrej/pos...

David Eby explains clearly why he called a BC provincial election now, and doesn't hold back on putting the cause where it belongs: Conservative members constantly obstructing parliamentary progress...

What would James ("It's the economy stupid") Carville say if he was in BC rn? We've debated election timing & culture wars, but eventually the economy will be the deciding issue. And by most metrics, BC's has done very well. My take for @thetyee.ca: thetyee.ca/Analysis/202.... #bcpoli

This is a good day to ponder what an amazing deal B.C. residents have enjoyed thanks to public auto insurance. Avg nominal premiums are no higher than 9 years ago when J.Horgan was elected Premier, vs 45% avg increase in Canada and 119% in next-door Alberta. Data from StatsCan. #bcpoli

The families, and everyone touched by this event, should sue Open AI for what happened here. Not reporting the first account and then allowing the kind of activity that took place in the second account is malpractice at minimum and makes them accessories in my mind.

This contagious claim that under the NDP BC has become 'the highest taxed province' is nonsense. Provincial own-source revenue as share of GDP is 4th lowest among the provinces, and below the Canadian weighted average. #bcpoli /2

North Cowichan municiple council (Vancouver Island) just passed a motion stating data centres are not permitted land use. Special zoning is required which includes public hearings prior to approval. Hope others follow their lead.

Sharing this again because this is a story about an issue impacting communities all over the world making its way to the suburb I grew up in. I'm so happy with how this turned out. Also, the more people that listen, the more likely Rumneek will let me spend time making radio docs. LISTEN NOW.

Econ 101
Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.
