Vancouver’s new mayor!
I saw this back in August but didn't post it, because Pete didn't get to choose what his posters appeared next to. He got my vote and won the election.

My cup overflows with anger toward these lying, deceiving, murderous, oil and gas companies. So this morning, I did something I've never done before in hopes the people coming home from their long weekends in Tofino and Ucluelet get the message.
Please Boost.

Yes. We are official!
This instance is run by the Society of Open Social Servers of British Columbia!
We'll have a website soon for the Society where you'll be able to see our Constitution and Bylaws.
Basically, we are here to provide or support open, federated #opensocialweb spaces to people in BC!
If this is something you would like to help build, please get in touch! Directors, helpers, anything you think might help is appreciated!

Dear Mark Carney - in the light of Trump's new tariff letter threatening 35% on basically everything, tell him to fuck off and bring back the digital service tax
Be like Brazil, stand up to the orange asshole - appeasement doesn't work, cut off the potash and watch US farmers freak out

Carney is making an historic mistake by welcoming the likes of Gladu into the Liberal caucus, she's an on the record anti-science, anti-vaxx, anti -LGBTQ idiot
Everytime a party tries a 'big tent' approach that includes anti-social religious nuts it eventually fails
Just look at Christy Clark and the former BC Libs, or current BC Cons
It’s time to build affordable homes, a national network of public grocery stores, electric buses and an east-west clean energy grid. Not massive corporate AI data centres unleashed without any democratic debate.
There's also no real data sovereignty in an AI ecosystem dominated by U.S. tech giants. Telus may be Canadian-owned, but it has already transferred 14 petabytes of Canadian data onto Google Cloud as part of its AI strategy.
This is a technology that will bring sweeping changes at a scale and speed never seen before. Canadians deserve real oversight and a robust regulatory framework before we rush ahead.
That’s why we’re calling for an immediate pause on the construction of any new AI data centres until strong federal guardrails are in place.
We can’t sit back and let Big Tech billionaires decide our future for us.

One of the most effective, organic, long lasting boycotts in recent history
Not one group really organized this, no advertising (except stores doing buy Canadian, and they mostly flubbed that)
This is ongoing collective fury and disdain
Well done Canada

Big news!
I'm running for nomination as one of COPE's candidates for Vancouver's Park Board in the October elections. I've spent a lot of time photographing nature in city's parks, and I want to ensure our nature is well taken care of.
The nomination requires fundraising, so I'm asking any BC residents who want progressive, nature-minded politics in Vancouver to please donate to my run through this link!
Regardless of how you feel about this snap-election or who you support, it’s important to participate. You can use this site to make sure you’re registered, to find out about where & when you can vote, or to request a mail-in ballot if that’s your jam.
“Anything else you’re interested in is not going to happen if you can’t breathe the air and drink the water. Don’t sit this one out. Do something. You are by accident of fate alive at an absolutely critical moment in the history of our planet.”

“Eby says this election is about the future of the province, and not the small differences between New Democrats and Greens, who share a common vision in many areas.”
The NDP and the Conservatives share a version for a future built around LNG extraction and export. LNG is mostly methane, an extremely pernicious greenhouse gas. If you’re an environmentalist and worry about the future your children have to live in, the #bcgreens are the only sane choice
