These patches of wild abandon are purposefully crafted #habitats and foraging grounds for pollinating insects, part of the city’s Pollinator #Meadows program: an initiative designed to #rewild city boulevards and parks managed by the City of Vancouver’s Parks Board.

It’s a program that, since its conception in 2020, has paid dividends.

British Columbians might be surprised to learn they are among the world’s most aggressive extractors of climate-destabilizing fossil fuels, per capita — and major projects that are already being built aim to make the province’s contribution much worse

The progressive activist lefty #synagogue in #Victoria#BC#Canada defaced with this:

“#Jews are evil! Because #genocide is evil! Stop genocide stop the Jews! Jews are murdering thousands of gentile children In the future #Palestinians will get their revenge against you child-killing #Jew-monsters!”

I've heard that little #antifascist joke about how many #nazis do you have at dinner for decades, and I don't want to hear it anymore.
