These condos are empty because they are quite often bad investments and above all poor homes. Not all developments are the same, but a lot are tiny often requiring external storage to function as year round homes and totally unsuitable for families! 2 will need to become 1 to work as family housing.

It has to come everyone talks about the benefits of AI, but left to themselves it will only lead to more unemployment bigger welfare bills and huge profits for the billionaires. Politicians need to wake up tax and regulate tech properly and think about people's welfare.

It's the tech platforms that need to be cracked down on not youths. It's the duty of the platforms to ensure only appropriate material appears on their sites, they should not be allowed to profit from peddling dangerous materials. But I guess its easier to tackle non voting youths than billionaires

Unfortunately this is likely to be one of many embarrassments. I watch your BC coverage & its clear there is little comprehension that the World Cup is the biggest sporting event in the world, bigger than the Olympics and certainly bigger than Hockey,Grid Iron,Baseball & Basketball put together

If this World Cup is a success it will be a miracle not just because of the Trump factor. I am currently in Canada and the general atmosphere seems to be one of simply not comprehending that they are about to host the world's biggest sporting event in its biggest incarnation yet, fingers crossed 🤞

Farage 'the victim' but don't mention the £5,000,000 he trousered!

This is a 'dead cat' ploy by Smith to try and distract from her failing/flying administration, which she hopes will put her rebels in their place. It may however just give rise to Canadian nationalism that will demand more power at a national level and only subservient power at provincial level.

Sadly where I live Thrifty is my only real option without a significant drive, but for a couple of months now I have had the feeling that US products are becoming more prevalent as the weeks pass.

Has someone been whispering in his ear and flattering his ego? If so we should find out who's paying them, because Burnham is a proven loser with thin skin. Remember last time he lost he picked up his ball and ran away! If Farage is worth £5m, how much to neuter a Labour Government?

It's the media, the 24hr news cycle and the limited ownership of it in the UK, The Guardian only partly excused. Traditional media has taken to 'shock jock' tactics to stay visible in the new media world, which ironically new media then steals, echoes and amplifies. Regulation is needed #Levenson2

Why are the Israelis even there? Arguably their actions in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran are at least as bad as Russia in Ukraine if not worse! Also I am perplexed as to how their mediocre song did so well? Should there be an investigation into possible manipulation of the Contests voting system?

All very well but when your Party's policy usually amounts to knee jerk 3 word slogans you won't have much to say!

No sh1t Sherlock! Since Thatcher's mass council house sales and ban on re-investing the proceeds into replacement affordable housing stock, supply has not met demand forcing prices up. In fact most Gov help has served to increase demand. Devepers only build to max out profits not meet demand!

Work from home would be a good first step. Plus if the reports about the UK and aviation fuel are correct then a restrictions on private jets and internal UK flights especially where train services are available would be a good plan.

I don't disagree with the proposition, but I do think all media have a duty to remind the world that the only time NATO has been called to arms was by the US and all answered the call. By failing to point out such things the media affectively collaborate with Trump's lies and distortions of reality.

I have no truck with acts of violence but it would appear that BC Conservatives have a fluid view of the doctrine of innocent until proved guilty! Surely suspension would have been a more considered sanction.

The big con since Thatcher has been that we can have low taxes and all the social services we want. Tories have sold UK assets (quite often to their mates) to balance the books, there is nothing left to sell. Taxes must rise. But look at Scandinavia high taxes, high services but happiest people!

Why isn't there legislation stopping price rip offs, the price rises now are on petrol that isn't in anyway impacted by what's happening in the Gulf. Prices will rise but the increases so far and for the immediate future are just rampant profiteering.

Really, its very simple his policies and popularity are tanking almost everywhere,Epstien will get him in the end,this is a callous 'dead cat' distraction to save his Presidency by creating a huge 'state of emergency' to give a pretext to halt the mid term elections and to hell with the loss of life

mrpdh.bsky.social @mrpdh.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
Agreed he should throw off the chains imposed by the media (who were never going to like him or Labour). Good things have and are being done but they are slow burn and the suffering is now. Homes need to be built, Levenson 2 must be inacted, Customs Union joined and PR included in electoral reforms.

Politicians world over need to regulate new media and impose social responsibilities as they do for old media. But Open AIs error shouldnt make them a scapegoat, gun control has to be at the top of the list, nobody under 18 should have a license & no guns at an address with mental health issues.

Are any UK #politicians actually considering whether 'dangerous' material should be freely available on #socialmedia platforms. Social media platforms are #publishers nothing gets onto them without the owners permission they rather than young people must be regulated and obliged to be #responsible

All countries need to do is apply the publishing rules that most already apply to TV, radio stations and the press to the online companies. It is a complete and utter nonsense that they aren't regarded as #publishers nothing gets online without them agreeing to publish it.

I have driven in different countries & can say that #Canadian roads are some of the most dangerous I have experienced. Signage and lighting are generally substanded. I drive the #Malahat regularly its appalling in terms of safety. It needs lighting, barriers & cats eyes & maybe speed cameras.

Am I being cynical? or could thè Iran resistance have been urged by the #US and possibly #Isreal to rise up now to detract from #Trump's problems at home? If it is the case then I hope any promises of support are kept and we aren't about to witness another Warsaw uprising.

What Trump and his cronies don't realise is that when their time ends, and it will. They have given permission to their successors to not worry about extradition agreements when rounding to answer for their crimes. In short there will be no safe places #JUSTICE

This pipeline is never going to be built! Primarily because of the incompetence of the Alberta Government meeting the pre conditions. Plus they will never get private finance because the world is turning against oil making it financially unviable Carney has called Smith's bluff watch her fail.

This is just so short sighted but typical of #right-wing #populist #regimes who generally lack the ability to see beyond their own publicity. #teachers will leave #alberta or #teaching, teachers do have a high levels of #transferable and #sought-after #skills.

Nothing against Kamala but the Democrat view that they are living in a 'normal' world is just nonsense. It is highly unlikely that the mid terms will happen let alone Presidential elections. The next Democrat 'Leader' will need to be more Zelenskyy than same old same old if they are to beat fascism!

I can't help feeling that the South Island would be better served by just one force serving the whole area, #theSaanichPeninsula, #Victoria #Esqimalt, #Langford and #Sooke. After all in the real world there are tiny distances between all of them and in most cases you can't see the join!

I hope she used the time she was 'on the run' to ensure any incriminating evidence she has is securely stored and available for release in the event of an accident or 'suicide' befalling her should she agree to talk.

This is just a distraction from Alberta domestic problems, teachers strike, health care scandals and the failure to provide Covide vaccinations for most of their residents. Which has the potential to create a Covid hotspot endangering the rest of Canada especially BC and Saskatchewan - one Canada?

What took place was a clear indication that Trump's elite thiñk that there is no need for accountability either now or in the future. Democrats are putting all of their hope on the mid terms. It's now clear they probably won't happen. Buckle up my friends violence is likely coming below the 49th!

Totally agree and fully support pedestrianisation but my concern is that this appears to be a very local (Oxford Street) scheme when really it needs to be an area scheme covering 1/4 to 1/2 mile either side because it is very residential, the area is more than business and tourists.

mrpdh.bsky.social @mrpdh.bsky.social · 06/10/2025
It's all very well pedestrianising Oxford Street but where does the traffic go? What most people don't realise is that the area surrounding it is highly residential with generally much smaller roads. It needs to be an area plan otherwise its a gift to businesses at the detriment of residents!

This is not a comment on Bad Bunny, but this show is well past its sell by date, its just not funny or in any way satirical. Plus a disturbing percentage of the sketches seem to rely on sextist and racist tropes for their 'humour'.

That's good but they should also be looking at beefing up consumer rights, which are quite frankly appalling when compared to Europe. Also why is the shelf price - not the till price? Again quite normal in Europe.

Every morning the media makes the best case for the introduction of Levenson 2, but the Government does nothing! Labour needs to wake up and smell the coffee the billionaire media owners are out to destroy them regardless of what they do!

The CFL should reign in the TV companies. So much is done to benefit the TV companies that it detracts from the game itself. Before TV, games must have been faster and free flowing. Plus if the Canadian women win the rugby World Cup the CFL could have real trouble-its just a more entertaining watch!

But should London as the 'sporting capital of the world' be hosting such a puerile pantomime pretending to be a sport. When this version of a historic sport is really just a trash American TV advertising sales platform.

Mind you, and I am only guessing here I bet it had a pretty clear impact in the bank accounts of some Tory supporters and donors possibly with links to the Government of the time.

The real question is will those elections actually take place and if they do will they be free and fair? If you are holding out for voting day to turn the tide, wake up smell the coffee look what has happened in the last 140 days and think about what could happen in the next 400 days!

One reason Labour is seen to be failing whilst in power is the political bias of the media (old and new). Headlines tend to tell false stories which are echoed elsewhere. Why doesn't Labour pass Levenson 2? It's not perfect but would be a good first step towards press objectivity.

What exactly was it about Trump, that made you think he would make a decent, honest, non corrupt, non racist, competent, intelligent and caring President?
