I 100% agree with Justin. Current affairs globally demands that the Canadian press stay focused on core issues like affordability, housing, infrastructure, and national security.

Also, with measles making a comeback and the avian flu, and stock market volatility, who cares about crowd numbers?

America has no allies in this trade war. Not the EU. Not Japan. Not Canada, not Mexico, not Australia. Not even Russia. OK, maybe El Salvador. MAGA wanted America alone. It got its wish.

Younger Democrats Don’t Plan to Wait Their Turn A new crop of Democrats are announcing runs for office — sometimes against incumbents — in an expression of frustration with the establishment.

Wrote about a trio of young Democrats -- @katmabu.bsky.social , @georgehornedo.bsky.social and Deja Foxx -- and how their bids for office signify rising frustration among young voters with the status quo.

It’s a fairly substantial proposed increase to bus service (5% - it’s the largest increase in service since 2018).

Sadly, there is only so much space. But if you want to more about my story, especially within the city of Burnaby, British Coumbia: there is lots to read on my campaign bio! www.greenparty.ca/en/candidate...

Yes, I am indeed! I have called Canada home since 1998 and I have been a Canadian citizen since 2008. And only Canadian citizens can stand as candidates for a federal election.

Sadly, BSky won't let me post my videos, so I will be posting them on my IG: instagram.com/elie.lubendo. Follow for more. #votelubendoforburnabycentral #voteoutjagmeetsingh #jagmeetsingh #burnaby #burnabyvotes #elxn2025

P.S: The RCMP officers handled things really went well.

Given the lack of due process and general interference and corruption against my candidacy, if I am not on the ballot for the Greens in Burnaby Central on April 28, 2025: one of the largest federal election lawsuits in Canadian history will be launched.

The BurnabyNOW has blocked an op-ed I submitted, twice, sent on March 31st at 9PM, nine days ago. My legal counsel will also be looking into whether Lara Graham, Regional Publisher at the BurnabyNOW and Glacier Media, has ties to the Federal NDP and or its leader Jagmeet Singh.

Also, Elections Canada HQ has an employee called Zainab Alsahiliy, who ran for Ottawa City Council in 2022, who interfered in my candidacy. Pending review, my legal counsel will look into if Mrs. Alsahiliy has connections to the Federal NDP and/or its leader Jagmeet Singh.

In short, the Returning Officer and Assistant Returning Officer of Elections Canada in Burnaby Central have forged and tampered with official government documents to disqualify me. Due diligence and process were not followed, and the RCMP was used unlawfully to cover fraud.

Press Statement: drive.google.com/file/d/18y5q.... Today, six RCMP officers were called by Elections Canada, after I asked for my "Receipt of Nomination Paper" and inquired about my signatures being illegal thrown out, and being wrongfully rejected as a candidate in Burnaby Central.

B.C. legislation lacks safeguards, allowing vulnerable people to be detained against their will A report from B.C.’s Human Rights Commissioner highlights concerns about how the Adult Guardianship Act is being used

BC legislation intended to protect vulnerable adults from abuse and neglect lacks transparency, oversight and safeguards, allowing some health agencies to detain ppl without legal authority or due regard to procedural rights, says BC Human Rights Commissioner

War protests @ the McGill Admin office have happened for decades. It's congested, lots of bystanders & the protestors aren't armed & in small numbers. The police showed force but they shouldn't have semi-automatic weapons. A bad apple = constitutional crisis. Who watches the watchmen? #freepalestine

I'm again calling on the @liberalca.bsky.social to drop Wade Chang as a candidate for Burnaby Central. He is using self-printed, non-approved campaign literature with the Liberals logo during the writ period. A clear campaign violation that is subject of an investigation by Elections Canada. Enough!

Liberal Housing Plan must align with Canada’s climate commitments - Stand.earth Ottawa (TRADITIONAL, UNCEDED TERRITORY OF THE ALGONQUIN ANISHNAABEG PEOPLE) – Any housing plans released by Federal Parties must include commitments to build homes that use non-emitting heating system...

The Liberal Party of Canada released a decent housing plan yesterday. But there was one obvious omission:

A commitment to build new homes in a green way.

Public funds should not be spent on installing oil/gas heating systems which cause pollution.

Fired Victoria school trustees launch court challenge against B.C. government The Greater Victoria school trustees fired by the B.C. government earlier this year have launched a court challenge, arguing their termination was beyond the jurisdiction of B.C.'s education minister.

I hope they’re successful. @lisabeare.bsky.social’s firing of the democratically elected Greater Victoria school board over a policy disagreement set an alarming and dangerous precedent. #bced #bcpoli cheknews.ca/fired-victor...

On national crises, Mike makes sure our community’s priorities aren’t lost in the shuffle.

PRESS RELEASE: Calling for Replacement of Liberals Burnaby Central Candidate. Wade Chang was acclaimed on February 21, despite having lived in Burnaby for two years. Is it fair for a Canadian that did not live here during the pandemic to be able to govern others? No. Canadians deserve better.

I have thrown my hat into the ring! I am the Green Party candidate for the beautiful riding of Burnaby Central, that I have called home for twenty years. I am here to fight the good fight with you in these troubling times! Join me in this race and let's start making the world a better place! ✊🏿
