After almost waiting a year, I finally received a copy of my FOI request to the provincial government of British Columbia about plans for passenger railway service along the Sea to Sky Corridor plus details about intercity bus service. It's 2,000+ pages so this is going to be an ongoing thread.

I’m at a Seattle city club event, and local FOX anchor Hana Kim just demanded that Mayor Katie Wilson respond to Spencer Pratt’s claim that people are flooding into Seattle to be homeless because they love the lenient access to drugs here. People are clapping for Spencer Pratt.

While Canada may be promoting fossil fuels, much of the world and our potential buyers are moving on. Communities and the climate pay a high toll when industry sticks to pollution instead of building renewables for all. Take note, @mark-carney.bsky.social.

New: Health Minister Josie Osborne nixes overdose prevention site planned for 900 Helmcken St. in downtown Vancouver, citing concerns raised. Says province and Vancouver Coastal Health will "fully engage with stakeholders and community ahead of any new site opening."

“Vancouver continues to experience the highest rates of unregulated drug deaths in B.C. During this public health emergency, it is critical that people at risk of overdose have access to timely supports and services that save lives and help prevent serious harms, including brain injury.

“Vancouver Coastal Health is working to establish overdose-prevention services in Vancouver’s downtown core and recognizes the importance of ensuring these services support both vulnerable people in need of care and the businesses, residents and workers in surrounding neighbourhoods.

“Since intentions were announced to open a new overdose-prevention site on 900 Helmcken St., I, along with my colleague, Terry Yung, Minister of State for Community Safety and Integrated Services, and MLA for Vancouver-Yaletown, have heard concerns from the city, local businesses and community partners. We, along with the Ministry of Health and Vancouver Coastal Health, are committed to taking steps to fully engage with stakeholders and community ahead of any new site opening. Vancouver Coastal Health will not proceed with the overdose-prevention site at 900 Helmcken St. at this time, and there is currently no planned date for opening.

“The Province is committed to working collaboratively with the City of Vancouver, local businesses and community partners to ensure people can access life-saving services, while addressing concerns raised by the community and supporting safe, healthy neighbourhoods for everyone. The mobile overdose-prevention site will continue to operate to provide a limited number of services in the area.”

However, by the time that the group started their first convoy to Ottawa, the movement had shifted. It was now explicitly about removing the carbon tax and developing policy to serve the Oil & Gas sector. It would take on the slogan "Make Canada Love a Pipeline". www.youtube.com/watch?v=lehI...

However, the connections don’t stop with these more mainstream groups. In 2018 alt-right groups gathered in Calgary, near the HQs of most of Canada's oil companies, to voice their anger at city and provincial governments. These groups would eventually take on the name the “Yellow Vests”.

I can’t think of another provincial government pushing a study through academic peer review that was so visibly infested with undisclosed conflicts of interest and easily discernible methodological flaws — breaking journal rules. This should be hugely alarming for the academic world.
