As I write this, I’m getting ready to leave for my seventh season of tree planting. I’ve had an eye on the weather all winter, watching as the snowpack levels in British Columbia reach lows not recorded since at least 1970, watching as rivers — like the confluence of the Nechako and Fraser rivers in Prince George — run...

While the eviction was upheld at a Residential Tenancy Branch arbitration, the couple have now asked the B.C. Supreme Court to review that decision, and their legal advocate, Robert Patterson, has been able to get a temporary stay of eviction until that appeal can be heard.

Citing privacy concerns, police declined to provide any further information about the incident, including the specific kinds of force they used and how Fagan-Pierre is alleged to have resisted.
Hahaha, Jesus, ‘Citing how bad it would look, we don’t include information on the illegal force usage.’
It’s definitely worrying as I sit here North of my American brothers and sisters, to see the sheer amount of “Yeah but Biden sucks”. Sure 100% agree, but you’re welcoming in Orange Hitler if you don’t vote, or vote Republican.
So definitely worrying sleeping beside this particular elephant.

“Rex Murphy was a Rhodes scholar who could match wits with any intellectual, but he always seemed more comfortable and far happier being around regular Canadians.”
Are we thinking of the same Rex Murphy? Wasn’t he happiest speaking to rich people at posh events he was paid to speak at?
I agree, but honestly, their supporters don’t have to believe. They vote for the C even when they don’t bother to put up platform, and I mean that literally. Their supporters support the C, they don’t care what the people actually do.
Yeah the comment felt like bizarre astroturfing – Why would ‘gaming journalists’ specifically not want Xbox to succeed, but want Playstation to? Like somehow a Sony monopoly is great for… journalists? A very strange take.
XBOX has been underwhelming for a while and journalists will report on that, and they will focus on those bad parts and certainly also sometimes make it sound worse than it really is, because it brings in clicks.
I worked at Microsoft and I can assure you, they deserve every bit of hate they get. And it really is that bad. There was a point with the Xbox One where Sony was beating ‘us’ in every single market we were actively tracking except specific parts of the US. Yet we had directive after directive for clearly nonsensical ideas like targeting Japan for console sales.
I also worked (third party) with Sony and they aren’t much better, but they at least understand how to get their consoles bought. Microsoft hasn’t known how to do that since the 360.

The BC United party is in such a “precarious position” that it could cease to exist after the next provincial election, says the public opinion researcher who worked on former premier Christy Clark’s winning 2013 campaign....
My impression has always been that the bc liberals (now bc united) were between the federal conservatives and the federal liberals, and the BC NDP were just a smidge left of the federal liberals.
Now, where that falls on a “true” political spectrum can be debated but I’m not really interested in a clinical definition because I don’t live in a clinic.
Oh I’m with you, the absolute specifics here aren’t particularly meaningful, and yes it was basically that the BC NDP were slightly left of the Federal Liberals. I’d argue the BC Liberals were basically the (old, like 15 years ago) Federal Conservatives. Basically neo-liberals.
