Today Vancouver council is set to approve a staff recommendation to back away from their push to become a Bitcoin friendly city.
Here's my story about it, along with an extended montage about what Ken Sim has said about Bitcoin on various podcasts in the last two years.
I've always found it ironic that the left came up with postmodernism but the right actually lived it, perfected it.
Maybe i'm a fuddy-duddy, or maybe I'm justified in my jaw agape at this. (Or maybe both!) www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
What books did Alberta schools *actually* pull off the shelves in response to a provincial order? It took a lot of work to find out. We still don't have a complete picture. And some schools are still pulling material.
Free speech advocates say it's ban unmatched in Canadian history. #AbLeg By me.
This oil price shock will obscure what’s increasingly become Alberta’s shaky advantage over everyone else. My latest:

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.
There was no announcement, no ceremony, no news cameras — just two employees on their routine overnight shift working while Washington slept

The Tyee is proud to have published this important investigation by @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. We condemn this egregious harassment of a journalist for doing her job, and have offered support as she deals with this disturbing situation.
Congrats to @themartlet.bsky.social for convincing UVic students to pay $2 more to support their campus paper — a tiny change that will make a massive difference for the paper and its ability to cover the campus. That's a big achievement, proud of them.
Why not both
Also, would have been ideal for online survey to spell Guthrie's name properly, rather than Gutherie
Other than obvious "Woof, Nenshi NDP" in this new Abacus poll, also:
1) Those AB Liberal votes are going somewhere, and it's not to that barely-there-anymore party.
2) First poll I've seen asking about Guthrie's Progressive Tory (né Alberta) Party, and RUFF RUFF RUFF. abacusdata.ca/alberta-poll...
Canada created more jobs in 2025 (! year of the economic attack!) than the U.S., tho the U.S. job market is 7.5 times bigger.
"Health" generated 41% of the new jobs. "Care" (incl educ) almost 1/2.
Demographics guarantees that this job juggernaut will continue to dominate. Demand>supply everywhere.
The Pete Hegseth-to-Transformerers-to-Deadpool jump cut we never knew we needed.
CDS: Stating a negative on Eric Fury twice.
Bluesky: Per se?!
It implies that we are visitors in someone else’s country.
This is a profound continental divide. Canadians overwhelmingly view other Canadians, even those unlike them, as being good people. Americans, more than any other country, view their neighbours and fellow citizens as bad people. Anti-Americanism flourishes in the United States
“There’s a distinction between the offensive actions that were taken, and are being taken, by the United States and Israel…We’re not party to those actions. But we will always defend Canadians. We will always stand by and defend our allies when called upon.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Alberta ‘excessively vulnerable’ to foreign interference, experts warn. Referendum on Alberta's independence from Canada could take place in October www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I must shamelessly suggest that British Columbians should read this.
gavin newsom talking about israel as an apartheid state highlights just how dramatically american public opinion on israel has changed in the last couple years.
A BC court found an Alberta separatist movement leader misappropriated $1.3 million of his elderly aunt and uncle’s money. Their niece says Dennis Modry hasn’t paid it back.
Ah, yes, the invaluable wisdom of the markets.
Remaining on daylight saving time would mean sunrise in mid-January would happen at roughly 9:30am. That seems like it would not be great.
Was not ready for this.
I would prefer not to have darkness at 9am in January, thankyou
“If war-level panic and Strait of Hormuz shuts down for a whole year” is one big if.
When Danielle Smith claimed 80% of federally picked judges had donated to Liberals, that was way higher than any figure I'd researched.
I dug into it. Could confidently write here:
"It is not true. The single media source Smith got that fact from has since corrected it."

I'm addicted to these videos from a bakery in Uzbekistan
