WA's elevator bill SB 5156 passed the Senate today, 41 - 7.

I listened to an interview with Jeffrey Rath (Alberta Separatist group) and I thought he should get more airtime. It was very illuminating.

It's just objectively silly — and, I would argue, very counter-productive — that housing has come to be seen as a *federal* issue.

I forgot to mention it…Tuesday was the 20yr anniversary of me moving to Vancouver.

The sad part is there are a lot of rich voters who don’t care he’s an idiot, as long as he’s being cruel to the poor.
The city just laid off 300 people. "Zero means zero" etc. But ok let's have a $2 million one-night show.

I love my profession deeply, but some of them are not covering themselves in glory these days. If a mob boss draws a sharp blade languidly across your palm and says it would be a real shame for you to lose your pinky, your headline isn't "Godfather rules out hacking off finger to settle debt."
