If there's anyone who can amplify this for my fellow BC folks, that'd be greatly appreciated! Pound-for-pound, I'm confident I can take any of my competition in Maple Ridge East, but rep'ing the BC Greens means I'm playing from behind in the eyes of most. Help out an underdog, if you could.

First past the post not beating the allegations www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Polls have consistently shown that sovereignty is a low priority of Quebecers, with one Léger poll showing that 70 per cent of Quebecers would not support separating from Canada.
But the electoral math told a different story.
In a a remarkable feat made possible by the first-past-the-post electoral system, the PQ formed a minority government with as little as 28 per cent of the popular vote - the lowest voter share to achieve that in Quebec's history, and one that is certain to add fuel to the debate about electoral reform.

If the PQ wins tonight, hopefully they’ll follow through on their promise to enact electoral reform. Unlike the CAQ in Quebec before and Justin Trudeau federally, who both abandoned their promises.

"AI assisted code isn't the same as vibe coding!" While fundamentally true it fails to realize that tons of people are still against the usage of AI due to the actual, real impact it is having on our environments. Pinging an AI to put stuff in a spreadsheet is still using a data center.

Bus lanes work. No debate. If this lane was an "HOV" lane (two people lol) as our transit commissioners think it is appropriate to even CONSIDER as something it's valid to investigate would be just as packed as the others by violators and stupid EVs. Instead the intercity 66 blows by them all.

As I understand, proposal #7916 would provide custom buffers in shaders to allow such a thing which could then be read from a CompositorEffect.

Some more rendering pipeline customization stuff like proposal #7916 and Shader Templates (and maybe a higher level version of shader templates). For 7916, I want to implement a custom glow buffer that uses its own set of values so you can more finely control the color of the glow.

Yet another Democrat has released an ad decrying "boys in girls sports." This Democrat is NY-21's Democratic candidate for congress, Blake Gendebien. You can watch his full ad in our latest story. He joins several other Democrats releasing similar ads this cycle.

This corresponds with a modest, but growing, trend: Democrats are capitalizing on anti-trans hysteria, or otherwise leaning into Republican narratives on so-called culture war issues.
