Two weeks ago I asked the Vancouver Police Department and Downtown Business Improvement Association for a breakdown of the $1.4 and $1.25 million that city council gave them for seven more weeks of a car free Granville strip. Today, one of those groups got back to me. Can you guess who?

If the Vancouver police can’t explain why they need an extra $200,000 a week on top of their $497 million budget to police five blocks of car free activities, then I can make videos pointing out how much that works out to every hour for every block. We’ll update if they provide more information.

US-funded and other foreign-based troll and bot networks exploiting a Canadian mass-casualty event makes it clear there is an urgent need for Canada, and allied governments, to legislate and enforce meaningful penalties against this form of hybrid-terrorism. #CdnPoli

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

In 2022, Ken Sim said line item budget comparisons were the cornerstone of his budget policy if he got elected mayor. In 2025, he voted against it happening for a budget presentation with potentially $100 million in cuts because his newly appointed city manager told him no.

a thing about Pack Journalism Dynamics is that in this press conference it's pretty clear trump wants to cool the temperature on the current dynamic and once that became clear the American journalists cared less about asking questions about Canada because that's less interesting

This is leadership. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in his final days in office asks Canadians to ask WHY. Why does the leader of Canada’s conservatives REFUSE to get security clearance? Why does he REFUSE to put Canadians first? It isn’t a slogan when it’s not backed up. It’s a lie. #cdnpoli

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

WHO comments on United States announcement of intent to withdraw

The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization.
WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people, including Americans, by addressing the root causes of disease, building stronger health systems, and detecting, preventing and responding to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, often in dangerous places where others cannot go.

The United States was a founding member of WHO in 1948 and has participated in shaping and governing WHO’s work ever since, alongside 193 other Member States, including through its active participation in the World Health Assembly and Executive Board. For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives and protected Americans and all people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication. American institutions have contributed to and benefited from membership in WHO.

With the participation of the United States and other Member States, WHO has over the past 7 years implemented the largest set of reforms in its history, to transform our accountability, cost-effectiveness, and impact in countries. This work continues.

We hope the United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit of the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe.
