Squamish Nation sets the record straight on the real cost of reclaiming #Senakw reserve land in Vancouver.

"We are back, once again, living, managing and developing our own lands. But make no mistake, this land has cost us a lot." #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanre

Why are Toronto’s streetcars slow?

Because we let 12 people in 12 automobiles block 200 people in one streetcar.

Streetcar. Priority. Now.

One day I will tell my grandchildren how there used to be a single, lovely grocery store with magnificent setbacks, surrounded by an amazing abundance of parking.

Vancouver is not a bonsai plant, so just let it grow organically, including the Broadway Plan area.

If we want to live in a great city, we must let it grow. #vanpoli #vanre #vancre

@iamkennethchan @DailyHiveVan Love the way they have broken this one out and provided design details that add to the neighborhood character. Props to @PCIDevelopments on another great looking project in Vancouver! #vanpoli

I had AI summarize this article:

People shouldn't be able to organize people to support more housing. Organizing people to oppose it is fine though.

Rustad’s conservatives continue to say the deficit is too big just weeks after they admitted their plan would make it much bigger #bcpoli

@dinahbrand2 @bcndp Straight cismen identify with the gender assigned to them at birth & are generally comfortable in their bodies as such. Trans women are assigned male @ birth but identify & live authentically as women. This is about individuals embracing their truth & shouldn’t impact anyone else

[Nickolas @ncollinet]

@dinahbrand2 @MaryDon55894508 @bcndp The Toronto Sun’s claim about 45% of trans women inmates being sex offenders lacks context. Where’s the comparison to cis inmates? What about systemic bias in convictions? Without proper data, this stat fuels stigma, not understanding. Always question the narrative.

[Nickolas @ncollinet]

@dinahbrand2 @MaryDon55894508 @bcndp Respectfully, advocating for marginalized communities isn’t ‘educating women, it’s standing against harmful rhetoric. The wellbeing of all people should matter, and dismissing that as male intrusion diminishes real allyship.

[Nickolas @ncollinet]

@MaryDon55894508 @dinahbrand2 @bcndp Actually many ppl in society don’t share your views. That’s why people like you have started yelling so loudly and as a result stopped listening or caring about ppl that are different than you. It’s very sad.

[Nickolas @ncollinet]

@dinahbrand2 @MaryDon55894508 @bcndp 🙄

[Nickolas @ncollinet]

@womanxxf @bcndp Reducing complex social issues to blanket statements about any group is unproductive and divisive. Violence and discrimination affect people across all demographics, and perpetuating stereotypes does nothing to address the root causes or create safer communities for anyone.

[Nickolas @ncollinet]

@MaryDon55894508 @dinahbrand2 @bcndp I’m not trying to be hip I’m trying to respectfully educate you. Many of my closest friends are trans and I am deeply troubled by the impact of your rhetoric on their wellbeing.

[Nickolas @ncollinet]

@MaryDon55894508 @dinahbrand2 @bcndp They need society to stop vilifying them and start accepting them as they are.

@VancouverThorn Bold words defending the only elected park board in Canada lol

Excited to host this event at the Vancouver Public Library next week! I promise it'll be more fun than your typical public hearing... Sign up to attend here: https://t.co/NGtZaB1X0X

@womanxxf @bcndp Trans women aren’t a threat to women’s safety. Straight cis men are. Trans women face higher rates of violence and discrimination than most people. Let’s focus on real issues affecting women’s safety, not fear-mongering or spreading division.

[Nickolas @ncollinet]

@dinahbrand2 @bcndp Telling me about a case where a trans individual commits a crime doesn’t mean that all trans people commit crimes. Straight cid gender men are constantly committing disgusting crimes against women.
