New West leading where Vancouver is failing
No dunk on our western suburb, but #NewWest is ramping up its support for arts, culture, & festivals in the City at a time when grant funding is harder to get. This starts with a 50% increase in our Community Grants program that supports many of the events that make #NewWest fun...
Here’s my feature on the fireworks being cancelled, how it links back to the origins of “No Fun City” a quarter century ago, and why other festival groups in Vancouver are worried

Weird, I didn’t know Nenshi jumped ship to the Conservatives. Did I miss a news story? Because saying digging up tarsands and burning them overseas is a “clear measure to reduce emissions” is anti-climate doublespeak I’d expect from them, not the NDP.
The new Canada-Alberta MOU is a positive step for our energy future.
Meaningful investments in Pathways, clear measures to reduce emissions, and a stronger industrial carbon price give Albertans the certainty we need to move forward. /1

A pipeline that private companies aren't asking for, that BC & indigenous nations along the route oppose, that requires breaching the tanker ban to sell oil to countries that aren't interested in buying it, negotiated with the scandal-plagued premier who paused trampling rights for this.

There's a persistent reflex to assume that projects like this are liberally coded, only popular in progressive enclaves. But the actual evidence goes the other way. Liberals aren't the only ones who like to cross the street safely. Conservatives also ride bikes and like to do so without dying.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
