Hey, all. This seems like a pretty strong consensus.

Here in Canada, the federal government ended funding for public housing in 1994, and the entire system collapsed. Unsurprisingly, we're now in a housing crisis. We need more public housing fast.

@evan

And the BC NDP got elected 8 years ago and i figured we'd have unhoused people housed within like 2 years.

Complete flop

They acquired hundreds of housing units by buying shitty hotels, and still we have thousands on the streets.

Hey are we still spraying glyphosate out of aeroplanes in BC to prevent the growth of fire-retardant trees like aspen bc the forestry industry doesn't like them using up space they want commercially valuable conifers to grow in following forest fires?
Yes. Yes we are. #glyphosate #bcpoli #wildfires

Are farms in BC still spraying #glyphosate on their crops as a dessicant to ripen them faster and to suppress weeds?
Yes. Yes we are. #bcpoli

Why aren't Americans unmasking them and posting their citizen mugshots and pix of their license plates for doxxing?

Why aren't Americans at the very least punching these unarmed Nazis terrorist kidnappers?

Buried the actual lede of the story... so here it is:

""Seeing these salmon runs exceeding estimated pre-season numbers by four and five times is truly a reflection of the hard work we have done to remove fish farms on the approach to the Fraser River," Werk pointed out. "

As a former deckhand on a family commercial salmon troller in 1990s, before the explosion of fish farms on the coast, I think there are more factors than just the closing of open net fish farms that has supported the return of this year's huge run of sockeye. It could be ocean temperatures in the North Pacific rebounding (down), it could be conditions on the Fraser River and the spawning streams... many things.

But do i think fish farms were decimating the health of fish migrating to and from the Fraser River and contributing to low return runs?

You're damn right I do.

Please don't call the cops on homeless folks, who you may see/run into at some parks, if they're not bothering anyone at all & are trying to keep to themselves. I've met several different homeless folks all around this large urban park & never felt scared around them. I sometimes bring them free foods & first aid supplies.

We desperately need more social & transitional supportive housing in #VictoriaBC. All municipalities should be working on this - together. This is a shared social responsibility & it crosses every municipal border. Demonizing & dehumanizing homeless folks hasn't helped at all - it is also very unkind & lacking of humanity.

For all Trump likes to talk about “America First” crypto, his businesses are looking very UAE-first. Trump’s World Liberty Financial has just secured a $100 million investment from the UAE-based Aqua 1 Foundation, which has leapfrogged Justin Sun in Trump’s pay-for-access leaderboard.

Aqua 1 Foundation, a United Arab Emirates-based crypto fund, has spent $100 million to acquire WLFI tokens, the token issued by the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial Project, and cultivate a close relationship with the Trumps. They have just surpassed shady crypto billionaire Justin Sun and his $75 million investment to become the single largest holder of WLFI tokens.1 World Liberty also profited massively last month from a deal in which Emirati investment firm MGX used the company’s USD1 stablecoin to perform a $2 billion investment into Binance [I83]. In a press release, Aqua 1 claimed that they and World Liberty would work closely to “jointly identify and nurture high-potential blockchain projects”, and said that World Liberty “plans to support the launch of Aqua 1’s Aqua Fund — a UAE-domiciled investment fund ... dedicated to accelerating the Middle East’s digital economy transformation”.2 For all Trump likes to talk about “America First” crypto projects, his businesses are looking very UAE-first.

World Liberty also just announced a partnership with London-based Re7 Capital, a decentralized hedge fund backed by the Hong Kong multi-family office VMS Group. The partnership aims to increase USD1 uptake on BNB Chain, the blockchain run by Binance.3 Connections between Binance and Trump have already been controversial, with Democratic Senators Warren, Durbin, and Blumenthal writing a May letter requesting information on Trump’s connections to
