Vancouver’s urban tree canopy, and the “kissing canopies” over the streets the mature trees create, are one of our city’s most important assets. Cooling, cleaning, beautifying and strengthening the city while integrating urban life with nature for livability. Great pics via @traffictrish.bsky.social

Striking network of big, mature street trees

The canopy connects with new development that will have a huge urban green park on the roof.

Not even hiding the blatant entitlement anymore.

The Premier's Office continues to remove all checks and balances on its power.

The courts, the legislature, the Auditor General, independent agencies, the federal government, voters and candidates they don't like...

This is getting ridiculous.

There’s a reason hate mongers and disinformationists like #AndrewLawton are so concerned. They want no consequences for their hate entrepreneurship, disinformation spreading and destabilization efforts against 🇨🇦’s civil society. bsky.app/profile/heat... #cdnpoli

Something else I’d like to add about #AndrewLawton, #PierrePoilievre’s handpicked #CPC candidate in London, On. Lawton’s racist misogynist views, weren’t just evident in many years past (which he blamed on mental illness), Lawton continued to dog whistle to white nationalists, much more recently.

18 Months for fomenting insurrection seems a bit light. Hopefully that's the end of hearing from both of them. If they really believe the BS they spouted during the border incidents they can leave Canada, never to return, yes?

Like David Eby said, we do not need a distractions office or a major political office. Danielle Smith’s “pipeline” is not a real project it is just politics. She is still tangled in scandals, flirting with Alberta separation, and last fall she was at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.

PR firms are spreading climate misinformation on behalf of fossil fuel companies. Could Australia stop them?

This week, Australian policymakers heard about the real and growing problem of climate misinformation. Stopping it would mean regulating the PR industry.

Utilities, groceries, health care premiums all going sky high, and he’s blabbering on like he’s Louis XIV in Versailles.

The post from @realDonaldTrump claims that 24 Karat Gold was used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House, impressing foreign leaders and others with its quality and beauty. It describes this as the "Best Oval Office ever" in terms of success and appearance, signed by "President DJT."

The lack of accountability is the point.

It’s easier to pretend you aren’t failing students, teachers, and parents if you stopped collecting evidence showing you’re doing exactly that.

"Although the province stopped tracking class sizes in 2019, educators say anecdotally their classrooms are becoming increasingly jammed."

Honestly wild Alberta stopped tracking this data and we now have to rely on anecdotal evidence when it comes to a key issue holding up a new teachers contract.

Alberta teachers and their employers have reached a tentative agreement that could avert a strike in the province's schools, according to a statement from Finance Minister Nate Horner.

For anyone saying the new PC’s don’t have the potential to be a game changer…

Here’s the voting intentions without them in the mix…

The UCP cruise to another majority

But with the PC’s in the game?

The UCP are quickly relegated to third place.

No wonder Smith is scared!
