amen @doniveson.bsky.social
I’ll go further. The effective message here to our kids (and it’s a crying shame that Canadian young people are preoccupied with worry about finding housing when they grow up) is this: protecting current homeowners’ position by upending valid municipal laws, freezing Neighbourhoods in time, and dictating the ‘character’ of adjacent private property (good luck, that word ‘character’ is next to impossible to usefully define in law, we’ve tried) — all these factors take precedence over your future housing needs, kiddos, and by the way these factors are more important than your future cost of living.

Next time Ukraine hits a refinery, Trump will say the deal is off as a direct result. Trump will halt all aid to Ukraine and formally align with Russia, in conjunction with vacating the midterms.

The UCP has deliberately corrupted the system so that they (the party under the cover of useful idiot "official" separatists) can appeal to MAGA after the vote as an oppressed minority, just like white South Africans.

They preach "Alberta First" while promising the Americans our water, oil, and land. I joined Edmonton's Mayor Andrew Knack on CBC's Power & Politics to call out the hypocrisy of the Alberta separatist movement. You don’t defend Alberta by putting our province up for sale to the United States.

It strikes me that one separatist’s offer to sell water to US in exchange for state recognition makes vanishingly little sense in Alberta, a land that’s so water scarce, especially within several hundred km of the border.

MEANWHILE, in Canada, meet Brady Rogers, the reluctant politician who's fed up and thinks he can do better. His sign says "I barely want to do this." His website says, "I guess I'm running for Kelowna city council." His business? Recycling plastic into cool things.
lawn sign with a grumpy man in a "DADLIFE" sweatshirt and the sign says "I barely want to do this" with his name and campaignHi, I’m Brady.
Do I enjoy politics? No.

Do I know what I’m doing? No.

But am I qualified? Also no. 

I was born in Williams Lake and raised in Kelowna since I was 10. These are the streets I biked every day, the cars I threw crab apples at (sorry), and the parks I played in. Seeing this city grow has been cool, but with growth has come a whole new spectrum of challenges. Running for council is the last thing I saw myself doing this year. I don’t like meetings, I don’t like having to be certain places at certain times, and I’m allergic to stuffy offices. But unfortunately, I happen to like Kelowna, and think I can help do some good.I guess I’m running for Kelowna city council.
Support the campaignI graduated from UBCO in 2015ish (long story) and worked for 4 years as a robotic automation engineer. As cool as the job was, it was soulless, and I wanted to use my abilities for more than just helping huge companies save money. 

Since 2019, I’ve been building The Rogerie.
Starting as a farmers market booth beside the mall, my wife and I began turning plastic waste into new products in our laundry room. Seven painful years later, and we have a pretty awesome shop downtown by Sprout (come check it out!) where you’ll find me just about every day.

Whatcha lookin at buddy? Beaver active in broad daylight is unusual for me. Multiple beaver in the colony were crossing a path to harvest an aspen and take it to their cache. I was watching one drag a branch about 10m away when this one came out of the water less than 2m away.
Close view of a beaver. It is standing up on its hind legs. It's fur is wet and shades of brown.it is directly facing g the camera.  It has small round ears, tiny black eyes, a big black nose abd prominent orange teeth. It holds its front paws in front of its chest, with long pink/brown claws showing.
The background is a variety of green vegetation
