Powerful piece of public service journalism by my colleague @michellegamage.bsky.social on @thetyee.ca today. Even if you never commit a crime, it's important to know your rights re police.

I'm looking to interview young social media users who would be impacted by Canada's proposed ban for under 16s, for an article in @thetyee.ca . If this is you, or a young person you know, please reach out! FYI: I will need a parent or guardian's permission for the interview.

This is one of those issues that Vancouverites without kids in school don't really see or care much about, but it's a MASSIVE challenge to families, and it impacts people's ability to work, and ultimately to even live here, which really and truly affects everyone in the city.

Bligh has a decent amount of support from the province and feds (more than Sim or Allam at this point), which could help. But her 6 years being a supporter of Ken Sim, and getting elected under both the NPA and ABC banners, means it’ll be difficult to get support from local left-wing parties.
