Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

Vancouver deserves better than Sim’s lies The readiness of Mayor Ken Sim and Coun. Lenny Zhou to slander a colleague is far worse than any harebrained policy they might propose or past controversial decisions they have made.

Politicians like Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim and Coun. Lenny Zhou who spread lies about a colleague for political gain undermine trust in our political system. They don't deserve our respect or votes, @adriennetanner.bsky.social writes.

yeah it is crazy on fb marketplace. i hate seeing what kind of pianos people are having to get rid of for free.

The Platner pattern of getting caught doing something Nazi-adjacent, huffily disavowing it and then doing another wink-wink nudge-nudge signal to the extreme right is pretty much the Trump 2016 playbook

Several points:
1) Iran's regime is odious. Its citizens deserve support.
2) That does not mean an attack will help.
3) Canada will find it hard to be so selective in its support for international law.
4) Canada does not benefit from a US administration unbound by the US constitution.

This is an explicitly anti-2SLGBTQIA+ & anti-SOGI 123 event/propaganda session. It's unacceptable that a sitting MLA is both promoting hate & collaborating with the far right to shore up support from influencers outside of Vancouver.
