- I’m disappointed to hear Commissioner Haer’s comments challenging the use of land acknowledgements. These acknowledgements are not performative to me. They are one small daily practice that flows from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and from the principles of UNDRIP. 1/2

- “The optics are, oh, the police get everything they want.” Here’s my story on the Vancouver Police Department asking for a $50 million increase to their 2026 budget while others city departments are facing challenges — and how at least one board member seemed aware of the conflict it would create.

- 🚨 Important call to action! (1/5) 🚨 A vote on Stanley Park is coming to the Park Board on Sept 15. The staff report calls for working with TransLink to bring bus service around the park (great!!) but no bike lane, despite it being the favourite option among respondents. Report linked here:
- (2/5) The good news is @tomdigby1.bsky.social is calling for a bike lane around prospect point and down the hill, for the safety of cyclists, active mobility and micromobility users. To help this pass, we really need people to email in support and call in to the meeting.

- No one should dispute the National Energy Program’s devastating impact on Alberta’s conventional oil and gas sector 40 years ago. But the oilsands, not conventional oil, propelled Canada to its position as the world’s fourth-largest oil producer. @ianurquhart.bsky.social writes.
