"happy and safe riding" Yeah, it should say "good luck, you're gonna need it" 🙄

This is such BS. I'd maybe be okay cutting oil companies a break if things were such that using TMX wasn't profitable, but the agreement should be "if you're making BANK, then your costs to use TMX go up" so that we get our fair share of that and pay it off. We're getting ROBBED.

Hey @emilylowan.bsky.social, keep yanking at that Overton Window, he's aware the left exists!

The government would need to step in and stop us getting gouged by grocers, landlords, utility companies, banks - the list just goes on and on. It's impossible. This is what Capitalism does and will always do.

This is a great idea! That should be more than enough money to sew the remaining 76 southern resident orcas back together after they're all chopped in half by your oil tankers! You're the right leader for this difficult time, sir.

how many children and old ladies did you wipe out on the way home today, scofflaw? /s

Co-ops are great, but they require a lot of effort to set up and time to run, and that's just a lot to ask from busy people who just want to live their lives. I feel like this is why we have government, for them to run things, so we don't have to. Co-ops are a workaround for their *failure*.

We all need to eat. Why did our society choose a system where we're all forced to buy from someone profiting off that? Where we all have to work 2x, to pay 2x, to line the pockets of some rich corporate shareholders? Sending out a cheque isn't a long-term solution. Selling us food at cost is.

161

How about we talk about how much of the *profit* that Canadian *workers* creating it get? You act like working for the benefit of some rich oligarchy is everyone's ultimate end goal in and of itself.

Yeah, maybe we should think about that. bsky.app/profile/chri...

Thank you for covering this. I moved to Metrotown specifically to switch from a car-oriented lifestyle, and now I feel like a second-class citizen.

I lack faith in adding regulation when they're already all totally ignoring existing copyright law with zero consequences.

That article was at least attempting both sides until the author dropped "The war started with a brutal Hamas attack" - yeah, let's just state "they started it" and not talk about the "open-air prison" for decades. Like, can any western media ever report on this shit honestly? 🙄

Fun facts: 🔥Since 2007, BC’s climate pollution has decreased by 2.3 million tonnes. 🔥Approved LNG export projects will increase BC’s climate pollution by 21.2 million tonnes by 2035. 🔥This is ten times more pollution than we’ve managed to cut in nearly 20 years.

Trends in BC's greenhouse gas pollution from 1990 to 2023, with two projected futures. Approved LNG projects will increase BC's emissions by 21.2 million tonnes. If we meet BC's climate targets emissions will decrease by 80%. From 2007 to 2023 BC has only reduced 2 million tonnes of climate pollution.

I don't know how much debt they can rack up before it all comes crashing down. I bought a GIC with the meager savings in my TFSA. It pays shit, but let the bank gamble, not me.

I'm happy to support anyone leading us out of this mess. bsky.app/profile/chri...

We came SO fucking close. So many people are willing to go there. I do not know how to bring society back and get people to care about each other. This is not my expertise.

My #1 concern was to not go full MAGA fascism/racism with PP, and, well... yeah, I guess we dodged that bullet. That said, I do have a line for compromise, and with the environmental disasters now being planned, and the workers rights rollback - it's now been crossed.

120

My choice to vote strategically was made because: I LIVE IN A SOCIETY WITH MANY OTHER PEOPLE. There will be no revolution without them. And I recognize THEY'RE NOT WITH ME ON THIS. They're way right, willing to vote PP, so I aimed for best compromise I could reasonably hope, given circumstance.

Did you consult any orcas? 🫍

I'm reading this on the TransLink R2 bus, so all this really means is you'll have even less revenue to provide me services 🙄

He's killing two birds with one stone: 1) Federally, PP/Cons live and die via AB ridings, and he's DECIMATING them to his benefit. 2) He's keeping Canada together by decimating AB support for the separatists at a crucial time. That all said, this plan is still shit, and an environmental disaster.

What are you talking about we don't have a west coast pipeline? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_M...

Yeah, I compromised to vote for him, and the deal I *thought* I was making totally isn't the deal I got. We were sold a total lie. A Conservative Trojan Horse.

280

Exactly my thoughts. bsky.app/profile/chri...

SO MANY THINGS we could do with that money besides SUBSIDIZING CARS! How about you cap oil companies and RAISE the gas tax to keep prices the SAME and use that money to PAY FOR SOME DOCTORS? Maybe then people could have a FAMILY DOCTOR and ER wait times wouldn't be measured in CALENDAR DAYS? 🙄

000

You're SUBSIDIZING gasoline? How about MAKE TRANSIT FREE!? All you're doing is encouraging more people to drive when they should take the bus or buy an EV. We need LESS cars on our roads not MORE. You're sacrificing the planet and our cities to PANDER for votes. I'm so voting @bcgreens.bsky.social

In case you didn't know, you can buy their grease injection tool to clean it all out yourself at home - it just snaps in while the BB remains installed on the bike. Taking out the crank to do this is made much easier with pinch-bolt style arms (vs press-fit style), which you luckily have also.

"Prices may have to fall far enough to generate the enormous demand Shell forecasts, but perhaps so far that producing, liquefying and shipping the LNG is no longer profitable"

I feel like this, tell myself "log off. go ride your bike", and then almost get killed by cars five times on the ride and end up *more* angry 🥲

Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

1,000 kids in a single state. Countries like France reported 216,000 kids were abused there. This wasn't a few bad apples, it was fucking *pervasive*. The fact that anyone can look at how widespread this was and remain Catholic, or even Christian, is beyond me.

000

When you see your kids at Christmas and there's no snow and nothing but brown grass out the window, you tell 'em "I did that!" 🙄

It's hard to find a swamp to drain without your racism being overt, all that leaves is bike lanes and... this.

This photo shows a street full of traffic, with, like, 35 cars on the left, and on the right, you can count 35 cyclists before you reach that 40kp/h speed limit sign 😆

000

Thanks. I was thinking more than just yelling in the situations, and extending to the conversations you have with motorists later or online. I'm angry there too - and expect that's where the reputation builds. 😆

030

I mean, after years of having a large percentage of motorists show a complete and total disregard for my life, repeatedly choosing to endanger it just to save a few seconds for their own convenience - yeah, I *am* angry. I deserve to be angry. Anyone in this situation would be angry.

1172

Thank you. The number of sentiments I appreciate, from people I appreciate, who then ruin their message by delivering it with AI slop - it's gonna turn *me* into the Joker.

A multi-use path with a fresh black and white painting of a pedestrian and bicycle with a circle around them both. A worn but larger similar sign can be seen peeking out from under the first.

Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

We need everyone to be like this, and view such situations with empathy, not imagining all the ways that human may have failed to live up to their expectations, but to think "it could be me".

Gosh, it would sure take level of dedication for someone with employment options to choose to work in an environment with people like that yelling nonsensical criticism at you all day.
