At Yonge & Dundas Jays fans are obeying the pedestrian scramble, as is the custom & returning to sidewalk each light cycle.

BC is also making its ban on power for crypto mining permanent and restricting access for AI and data centres

Projects can apply for a limited amount of power every 2 years, starting in Jan 2026

300 megawatts for AI centres, 100MW for data centres

The bill will also enable First Nations to be part owners of the North Coast transmission line

Dix describes the project as a joint venture with First Nations (no info on which Nations are buying in) #bcpoli

To ensure the project proceeds as quickly as possible, the BC gov plans to order the BC Utilities Commission to deem it in the public interest

This will save BC Hydro going through the application process for a certificate. It also removes a layer of oversight and public accountability #bcpoli

Energy Minister Adrian Dix introduces Bill 31, Energy Statutes Amendment Act

The plan is to create an electricity allocation framework to prioritize power for natural resource projects like LNG and mines. It will also set rules for AI and data centres seeking to connect to BC's grid

A BC Supreme Court judge has strong words for BC and Canada — and their failure to settle outstanding land claims with the Wet’suwet’en — as he suspended the sentences of three land defenders Friday.

Good. The BC Supreme Court judge's strong words addressed racist & dehumanizing comments made by RCMP, lack of consultation with some Hereditary Chiefs re the project, & a MOU that committed to further negotiations that was not meaningfully implemented in the more than 5 years since its execution.

He was so butthurt by millions protesting his authoritarian regime, he posted an AI clip of him in a fighter jet dumping crap on people exercising their constitutional rights.

It’s the kind of reaction you would expect from a mentally unhinged lunatic or a petulant child.

Not a President.

His Al video demeans himself & the presidency. He's admitting, loud & clear, that he gets off on dumping crap on anyone he feels is not kowtowing to him, though.

It's fantastic news that the Canada Leads program is enticing scientists like Wes Wilson to come to Canada. Really hoping the letter signed by 2700+ researchers entices PM Carney to fund scientific research in the Nov. budget.

ZERO arrests at No Kings in NYC. (And the NYPD isn’t notorious for being sympathetic with people anti-Trump.)

This proves what shameless liars Speaker Mike Johnson & Karoline Leavitt are to slander the participants as violent anarchists.
