The potential impact of the TransMountain pipeline taxation model change if the BC Finance Minister approves them.
If this goes through it will be devastating to local taxpayers.

Once again, I have to point out how obviously inorganic the entire anti-trans backlash is. A handful of billionaires are astroturfing the whole thing with enormous amounts of cash.

unclear how it would even save money to remove these but the vibe of this budget is really just scraping together the barest public amenities, crushing them into fine powder, and handing the VPD a rolled-up $50 million bill
Listening to Vancouver Council budget discussion in the background this morning. In response to a question from @seanorr.bsky.social about where they'll be retracting from the city just said they're planning to REMOVE baby changing tables and menstrual product dispensers to save costs. Shameful.

I am so goddamn tired of conservatives destroying things that belong to the public. This department doesn't belong to Sim, it's not his, he has no moral right to do this. This is social vandalism.
He just sucks so much. And he's not even a fun mayor who sucks, he's just boring and mid and awful.
