And with fewer analog smokers there's less front door activity. It's a struggle

I wonder if ABC people hear a phrase like "yeah right" and think it means "yes i believe your statement" It would explain a lot

Well hi there, and happy Thuuursday. Before we learned about Jian Ghomeshi, a frequent guest on his show was the cartoonishly laid-back nice guy David Myles, who is now a Liberal MP. The two would try to out-chill each other. He now votes for Carney's pipelines, data centers, and pesticides.

Distraction is the second leading cause of fatal crashes in our region and province. We hope that all candidates take that seriously, especially those from a party campaigning on public safety. (Video from ABC School Board Candidate Lina Vargas on Instagram)

We are so overdue for NDP MLAs with a conscience to call out this terrible leadership. And if he demotes you, let him isolate himself and force a much-needed shuffle at the top

This Thanksgiving, we need to have a talk with our "i'm sure glad Carney is at the helm" relatives. Have them elaborate on how increased surveillance, more AI data centers, fewer environmental protections, more pipelines, and an end to the gas tax and solar incenyives are what we need right now.

Duncan Martin @duncanmartinbc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
This is strange. I dont think your purpose has been clear for a while now. I wish my MLA Niki Sharma would speak out against this Carney style gas tax holiday pandering. But everything is so lock step with you all. I think I'll vote Green for the first time.

About 50 people crammed into the court room to hear the decision, which took Murray 10 minutes to deliver. Applause broke out as she stood, with people openly crying from relief, from happiness, from feeling like someone in power understood the urgency of the crisis.

You're reposting I guess... Well actually: bsky.app/profile/rach... Also in the news: "Nor is the power confined to so-called “strategic sectors.” Rather, it reaches any lawful strike within federal jurisdiction, from a bank call centre to a grain elevator." www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Mark Carney says he’s protecting Canadian workers. It’s Orwellian doublespeak
Subject to ministerial review, the right to strike is likely to be much weakened by Bill C-39.

In 2023, I was working with a charity & we did this market to serve food/provide clothes/haircuts for ppl on the DTES. Pete Fry and Ken Sim said they'd come. Pete Fry came, Ken Sim didn't. 2 weeks later, Ken Sim had the homeless people in the park rounded up, their possessions put in garbage cans.

In honour of Brent Bambury's upcoming retirement from the CBC, we remember when @nardwuarserviette.bsky.social told Ween in '93 that cheese chimichangas with samosas are even better than Brent Bambury on ice cream." At 14:19 youtube.com/watch?v=9UES...

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

The media has the AI threat all wrong
Generative AI is harming people today. We don’t need to waste time fantasizing about science fictional scenarios.

"In sum, Carney seems to be planning to sell off public infrastructure we need to help fund private infrastructure we don’t—with our money covering the risk, while investors make off with the profits."

I don't know man, someone asked who could do it better and I said who I thought would be better. NDP aren't doing as well in the polls. I don't care, I like them more. I wish they had a few more seats and could keep the Liberals in a minority. And I wish the Libs weren't trying to court Cons.

I don't see how any of this precludes criticizing Carney and saying he's a conservative in everything but name. This "careful what you say about the second worst choice" stuff makes no sense to me. It's absolutely fine for us to disagree on this

Duncan Martin @duncanmartinbc.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
I see we are in a logic puzzle now. That was a response to the other Carneyphile's introducing the hypothetical of NDP holding power and what they would could have done. Again, Rachel Gilmore is critiquing the person with power. Some of us believe he's doing some bad shit with his power.

Duncan Martin @duncanmartinbc.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
The original post was criticism of Carney and somehow it devolved into people saying you have to form Parliament before leveling a critique or comparing him to previous leaders. Seems so arbitrary

I don't think I can do Canada debate with someone who's not acknowledging that oil and gas is the whole plan. Maybe some minerals too. He doesn't impress me sorry

Duncan Martin @duncanmartinbc.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
What has Carney done that the NDP couldn't have done? He said no to a bad deal. If you think his plan to weather the storm with oil and gas is a good one then I guess we can't really go much further here. If you think we shouldn't criticize him, that's a big part of what journalism is.

Duncan Martin @duncanmartinbc.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
He leads a country of 35 million with significant oil production and he is ramming through new oil projects, bowing to to secessionist bullshit, and eliminating environmental review for new extraction. If you're looking for a single culprit you won't find one, because it doesn't work that way.
