Orange Shirt Day today: National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. We face the past with open eyes, and celebrate the victories when they come. History is being made today and we can still choose to be on the right side of it.
The Kits Point Residents Association court challenge vs. City of Vancouver to try and stop the Sen̓áḵw Development by Squamish Nation was dismissed. No relief given. Case closed.
Elon Musk just fired half of the Election Integrity Team at X.
Allowing election misinformation to fester on this platform opens our democracy up to further attack and disinformation.
But Elon seems fine with that.
