Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 3hGimme a green balance of power plz, along with a different NDP leader. 020
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 6hI’d imagine it’s the same reason Sean Orr didn’t run for COPE, in that they want to play it safe when a current councilor and ally of theirs had already announced. I don’t know if that’s true for either party but maybe 110
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 12/10/2026He was an unlikable wonk. OneCity should try running someone with even a shred of charisma (and name recognition) next time. 220
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 12/10/2026These are the OneCity dorks who have too much hubris and feel entitled to power and angry that their mayoral choice didn’t click with normal people. l voted for OC but their supporters online need to get over themselves. 020
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 09/10/2026You are an insincere hack or a real dumbass if you think Sean is an antisemite 110
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Those messages are internet nihilism and a reflection of the time, probably considered unfunny and perhaps in poor taste but nowhere near the vile trash his cynical opponents have actually done. Which is why a racist pig like Selina is the one pushing it out 120
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Selina Robinson is a disgraced bloodthirsty psycho. She has no credibility among any sane people in politics and she’s spiteful towards Sean because he outed her disgusting, vile, racist statements. Even the milquetoast BCNDP found her to be too racist and correctly dumped her. 120
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Well that’s not very polite of them. I am a typical MAMIL type and I love seeing people, especially with their families, on cargo bikes. Guys like this give us all a bad name, but more importantly sorry that happened to you! 140
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Why would a left wing journalist carry water for a decidedly right wing politician doing right wing things such as enabling the destruction of our environment for the benefit of private capital? If you want to read right wing arguments defending a right wing PM, there are many other options online 110
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Crockett is a rizzless sore loser that used AI in her ads. Being crooked is just one more reason she was a giant loser with no chance of winning. 120
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I never had to pay out of pocket so that might explain why I don't hate it. I've never heard of those things, I will check them out thank you for the advice. Sorry for being adversarial at the start. 100
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Most of Toronto does too! I am a huge car hater so we’re aligned on that front. The UP express absolutely rocks though. If Toronto hadn’t amalgamated and we’re talking only downtown core areas, Toronto moves up the list. 200
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Yes and I’ve been to every city in Canada many times. I spend a lot of time in Toronto for work, and have a lot of downtime there. I feel qualified to say Toronto is super mid. It’s still better than 95% of American cities fwiw 000
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I don’t know a single other person in Canada who would choose Toronto over Victoria, Halifax, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary or even Saskatoon if they were building an itinerary of cities to visit in Canada. 100
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I’ve been to both. Toronto is not worth visiting. It’s like a much much shittier New York 100
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Go to Montreal instead of Toronto. It’s a much much much much better city. Toronto is mid. 220
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I understand it might not be politically wise to put in a platform when you need to appeal to everyone but boy an audit of the VPD sure would be nice. 030
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Fantastic stuff here. Super glad to see the Broadway Bike lane mentioned, I likely wouldn’t use it much but there is SO MUCH space on Broadway for it and the delivery drivers alone make it worthwhile to have it for. 230
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Extremely tempted to ignore other candidates and just plump ballot for COPE. OC is pretty good but COPE is on another level of good stuff, if their their other candidates are half as cool and good as Sean then we’re in for a good opportunity here. 000
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 23/09/2026This went out the same day if it’s the same poll I was sent (I think it is) 000
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Daily hive is a right wing reactionary shitrag run by a completely VPD-captured dullard. Don’t give them clicks, folks 022

Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 17/09/2026what other cool stuff are you using it for? I set mine up for Plex with all the arrs a year or so ago but haven't done much else! 120
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Everyone deserves a little bit of easy to make trash food as a treat 160
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Most of the substitutes are ultra-processed trash too. During my few years into veganism, it was a lot more successful when I was just eating food that was not built around replacing meat 190
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 16/09/2026It’s real annoying. Anything I use it for goes in the trash too. Admittedly I’m not a dev 060
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I work in tech, but same. I use Claude once a month to stay off the bad employee list but otherwise it has zero effect on my day to day except showing me which of my coworkers are lazy and stupid 1140
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The kind of person who believes this garbage believes in nothing 001
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Looks to be good based on this. Good to see OneCity has wised up as well and realized this is an 80/20 issue. 011
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 10/09/2026CBC loves to give a spotlight to reactionaries and landlords 050
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 08/09/2026some of these people don't believe in anything except West Bank making money. it's why they are so cowardly on AI Data Centers despite being absolutely overwhelmingly unpopular, especially among progressive voters. 100
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I really hope you’re right and I’m optimistic you are. The loudest voices on here are a bit concerning but the COPE / OC co voters in the by election were a good sign Vancouverites aren’t developer apologist single issue voters like some of the weirdos on here 100
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Nothing says "urbanist" like nominating for council.... John Coupar and Trish Barker Anyone in One City who lands on Van Liberals as their mayoral candidate of choice is an ideological nightmare 1130
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I have some fear many of you will land on voting for Kareem, who with John Coupar and Trish Barker as nominees, is NPA 3.0 after Ken Sim has been NPA 2.0 020
Brian @nairb.bsky.social · 08/09/2026what's the point of a people's primary if you OC folks are acting like this? COPE managed their dropout a lot better than OC has. this petty crap isn't going to resonate well with ppl who have 10 candidates to fill in and a lot more than 10 options for candidates who call themselves progressive 310
