As always, @nolore.bsky.social has an accurate (and hilarious) description of Mark Carney's continued destruction: noraloreto.substack.com/p/icymi-this...

"He’s gutted environmental legislation, pushed through and fast tracked highly stupid projects that he needs us to believe are in the national interest, and now, he’s welcoming the vultures of global capitalism to come in and buy whatever they’d like. A move ostensibly done to solidify ourselves against the Americans, it will likely attract even more American investment in Canada and he will be laughing all the way to the bank (or wherever he sleeps at night)."

It makes sense that the organizers of an Onanism festival would invite Stew Young! #yyjpoli #crd #bcpoli

Picture of former Langford mayor Stew Young with two others in an indoor space at some kind of event.

The text reads: "This weekend, Brandy Gordon and I were invited to the Onan Festival with the Victoria Titans Club. Thank you for the warm welcome and a wonderful celebration."

Presumably, this post is trying to refer to "Onam", but "Onan" has *very* different connotations.

Who could forget when Chretien choked protestors, or when he introduced the infamous White Paper in 1969 that attempted to assimilate First Nations?

Famous picture of Chretien choking a protestor.

Also:

"...Chrétien introduced the 1969 White Paper, a proposal to abolish treaties between Canada and First Nations and related legislation including the Indian Act. Critics charged that the goal was to assimilate First Nations people into the general Canadian population. First Nations groups widely opposed the White Paper, and it was later abandoned. It was the 1969 White Paper that first brought Chrétien to widespread public attention in English Canada. At a press conference announcing the White Paper, Chrétien openly clashed with Indian activists with one First Nations woman asking Chrétien, "When did we lose our identity?", to which he replied: "When you signed the treaties", which prompted boos and jeers. Another woman from the Iroquois reserve at Brantford asked Chrétien, "How can you come here and ask us to become citizens, when we were here long before you?", noting the Crown had granted the Grand River valley to Joseph Brant in 1784, to which Chrétien had no reply. Cree activist Harold Cardinal attacked Chrétien and Trudeau for the White Paper in his bestselling 1969 book The Unjust Society, accusing them of "cultural genocide" against the First Nations. To counteract such criticism, Chrétien adopted an Inuk boy from a local orphanage during a 1970 visit to the Northwest Territories."

Conspiracy theorist Lia Fraser of Victoria BC deposited the following mental diarrhea in the Times Colonist Letter to the Editor section. Mentions Orwell's 1984, 'living in a prison', 'dystopia', and vague fear-mongering about elected officials becoming dictators, all due to 15-minute cities.

Conspiracy theorist Lia Fraser of Victoria BC deposited the following mental diarrhea in the Times Colonist Letter to the Editor section.

Title: Pushing us toward 15-minute cities

Letter text: "Re: 'Enough is enough, Saanich is ruined,' letter, April 2.

The letter asks: 'Did Saanich council give any thought to this (construction) when they allowed it all to happen at the same time?'

I think they knew exactly what they were doing. It’s happening in Victoria as well. We live in a sea of orange, made up of construction barricades, orange cones and ditches.

So what’s really going on?

I believe they are busy creating the infrastructure for their '15-minute cities' initiative, in which we will be controlled and watched. Big time.

Here’s a definition of infrastructure:

1. 'An underlying base or foundation, especially for an organization or system.

2. The basic facilities, services and installations needed for the functioning of a community or society, such as transportation and communications systems, water and power lines, and public institutions including schools, post offices and prisons.'

Yes, we will feel like we are in a prison. A dystopian one.

And it’s not just happening in Victoria and Saanich. It’s happening all over in cities in North America.

George Orwell’s 1984 comes to mind.

We, the citizens, are not powerless. Indeed, collectively we are powerful.

Write your elected officials, whether locally, provincially or federally, and give them your opinion on 15-minute cities.

Remember, they need us to get elected.

At least that’s the way it is now."

"We make our ravioli the way we made BC summers – hot and dry" I spent several hours on this roughly three years ago. Time well spent.

Satirical food label for a can of ravioli – "Ravi-oli" – featuring a picture of Ravi Parmar with a white chef's hat. Filled with humorous text:
• The label is "PC – Premier's Choice"
• The colour scheme is NDP orange and a light blue
• Tagline: "We make our ravioli the way we made BC summers – hot and dry"
• "New Flavour! Kinda..." "Baloney + Spin-nach"
• "try our other flavours – Irish Coddle, Deep-fried Tofu, & Brown Pablum"
• "Instructions: open can, let contents dry in the sun for a few months. Heat in over at 260º for 10 hours, or util it catches fire, at which point it's a part of life, you're on your own, and we are under no legal obligation to help you."
• Includes French translation of instructions for authenticity
• Includes Nutrition Facts table. Product is extremely high in trans fats, cholesterol, sodium, and contains very little vitamins.
• Includes ingredients in both French and English: "bovine faecal excretions, 'natural' gas, lies, mucin proteins, food-grade grease, disdain for the poor"

“I think this puts the final nail in the coffin of CleanBC.” I made this image almost exactly three years ago. Things have only gotten worse since then.

Political cartoon. A powerplant belches smoke in hills in the background; tree stumps are in the foreground, and the grass changes from green to brown, left to right, as it approaches the area near the powerplant.

On the left, David Eby gestures at the powerplant and says, "Supporting coal is the only logical continuation of the BC NDP's innovative "Clean" BC plan!"

On the right, there is a pile of coal at the end of a rainbow. Sitting atop this pile of coal is John Horgan, dressed as a leprechaun and smiling.

This is surely good news for all of us

The "Two Buttons" meme. Two panels.

On the top panel, a hand with an extended index finger hovers between two red buttons. The button on the left is labelled "Exploit OT"; the button on the right is labelled "Exploit Retirement".

On the bottom panel, a man in a red shirt, labelled VicPD, wipes the sweat from his brow with a white cloth.

The year might change, but you better believe the Times Colonist is the same in 2026 as it was last year. And the year before. And the year before that. Etc. www.timescolonist.com/opinion/edit...

Three-panel comic featuring Dr. Manhattan, a muscular and very blue man, pondering existence as he wanders the surface of Mars aimlessly.

"The year is 2026. The Times Colonist complains about "street disorder" and balancing the budget."

Third panel:
"The year is 2030. The Times Colonist complains about "street disorder" and balancing the budget."

Oh look, it's Ren Louie playing his old card routine. Mr. Louie is attempting to act out a real-life sequel to Lynne Reid Banks' famous children's novel, except the focus shifts from furniture to textiles (pockets).

Stupid opinion letter in the Times Colonist. It reads:

"Re: “Langford returns fire in war of words with Pacific FC,” Sept. 21.

The City of Langford released a combative statement that could damage its relationship to Pacific FC. The correspondence should not have been made public.

Although the city took that opportunity to raise concerns with the content of the agreement and the finances between the two entities, they undermined the charitable work that PFC does for the entire Capital Regional District.

By failing to make mention of the important role that Pacific FC plays in bringing our community together, they could leave Indigenous nations, organizations and advocacy groups out in the cold. Allowing this team be relocated would be tremendously devastating, especially ahead of Truth and Reconciliation Day.

On game day, we all wear our purple and white soccer jerseys and cheer our hearts out for the team we all know and love. The immense platform is not lost on Pacific FC, either.

That is why their alternative 2024 Indigenous resilience jerseys not only brought people together, they also ensured the proceeds went to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society, among other groups.

In the article, “Island’s Pacific FC unveils Resilience jersey benefiting Indigenous groups,” Paul Beirne, managing director of Pacific FC, states: “This jersey represents our commitment to using our platform to work towards a better future for Indigenous youth in our community.”

I encourage the City of Langford to pause and reconsider their stance on this matter.

They should take the time to understand the number of unintended consequences that could impact Indigenous peoples, among others.

Ren Louie

Why bother posting this AP non-news? I don't even think that it will generate that many clicks. I'm genuinely puzzled.

The "is this a bird" meme, but with the butterfly labelled "Non-news" and the man, labelled "Canadian Media Establishment", asking "Is this news?"

Ah, so you ARE still spinning the CleanBC plan as something that exists and is functional, despite all the methane gas investments! This would be high comedy if it wasn't so damaging and infuriating.

020

Devin Dignam @devindignam.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

If the 3rd methane gas project was deemed consistent with the BC NDP's "Clean" BC plan, why wouldn't a 4th?

000

Devin Dignam @devindignam.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

Methane gas extraction is just another facet of your "Clean" BC plan, if that bit of greenwashing is something you're still spinning in this time of imaginary Elbows Up.

This is always how these government surveys go. No matter the results, you can be sure that, according to the BC NDP, the survey data will support whatever plan they have to further weaken climate protections and increase subsidies to oil and gas, mining, and forestry companies.

Remember: all of this oil and gas extraction is totally consistent with the BC NDP "Clean" BC plan! And the BC Conservatives will try to tell you that the BC NDP is a "radical socialist party" 🤔

It's cowardly to repeatedly lose an argument, then leave one final comment and block a user before they are able to respond to or even see your final act of stupidity

Two embarrassing @frannieagain.bsk.social posts after losing an argument. They blocked me before I was able to see them or respond in the app, but I still have my ways.

Don't worry: methane gas, oil, mining, old growth clearcuts, and even coal are all compatible with the BC NDP's "Clean" BC Plan!

See, I knew what I'd seen recently from the Pacers was unprecedented. Without these two Pacers' wins, that would be 1-1640 when trailing by 7+ in the final minute of the 4th/OT!

Tweet from Jamal Collier (@JamalCollier)

"What a stat from ESPN Research: Since 1997-98, teams are 3-1,640 when trailing by 7+ in the final minute of the 4th quarter/OT.

The Pacers, this postseason, have 2 of those wins."
