Omar Mosleh The first piece, by Adrienne (she/her) of #Calgary 'seeks to show the dichotomy between plant vs synthetic drugs, the harmful view that synthetically-made drugs are worse than 'natural' or plant-based drugs'

Alberta has turned its back on people who use drugs.

From supervised consumption site closures to the current prescribing crackdown, it is clear that help for people who don't seek abstinence will not be made available.

We are raising money to build that help. 1/

Hey #yyj , did you know Scott Goodmanson before politics? Get in touch with Zoë Ducklow!

Does Facebook just think the entire world is as dumb as the average Facebook user? They pulled this *exact* same stunt in Australia then had to back down a week later. Nerds. theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

I want to be a baker, but one who gets up at, like, 8

Jimmy Thomson Johnson Street Bridge This is a violation of the rules. Censoring a publicly available link to a publicly available news story is not a valid removal of information under the FOI rules. This is secrecy for secrecy sake and a violation of the trust of taxpayers.

Fun FOI trick: Request the same emails from both the sender and the recipient. Different departments have their own standards and aggressiveness with redactions. It can be faster than appealing.

Well Anjali Appadurai has been disqualified, but Elizabeth Culls report raises more questions than answers. This thread 🧵focuses on her discussion of the integrity of the BC NDP membership list, which IMHO is emblematic of the report’s bias. #bcpoli 1/14

This is a great story about one of my favourite Victoria companies.

I would love to see our civic-owned cultural assets (i.e. Royal & Mac Theatre) aligned to support local artists.

Waking up to news that Anjali Appadurai has been disqualified from #bcndp leadership race after enviro group Dogwood urged members to join NDP & vote for her.David Eby has not been disqualified from race after Steelworkers union urged members to join NDP & vote for him. #bcpoli

they should've announced it on a notes app

What a brutal year for Canadian party leadership machinations:
-Federal Green Party meltdown
-Ongoing AB UCP shenanigans
-BC NDP working as hard as possible to convince their excited new members that they don't belong
What am I missing?

At least the NDP doesn't have to waste all the flower petals they've been gathering for the coronation now

The BC NDP’s Chief Electoral Officer – the very individual recommending the disqualification of a climate activist from their leadership race – is herself a former fossil fuel lobbyist. 5/ #bcpoli

Jimmy Thomson Owe'en Capital Daily You could diversify offerings of Capital Daily too, such as (just off the top of my head) selling camping, fishing, marine, clothing, hardware, housewares, garden shop, BBQs, patio furniture, Garden pots. Again, just random ideas top of mind.

This whole story is bizarre and concerning and raises all kinds of questions: rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
