Since @avilewis and @emilylowan are the first Canadian federal and provincial party leaders respectively to be on the #Fediverse, I wonder if they will have an outsized influence on this place until other parties inevitably join. π€

Goldstream Gazette: Volunteers, students plant 500 trees to rejuvenate B.C. park after 2023 wildfire - https://goldstreamgazette.com/2026/04/11/volunteers-students-plant-500-trees-to-rejuvenate-b-c-park-after-2023-wildfire/
Today Young #BCGreens from #OkanaganCollege and #cyclists of Mountain Bikers of Central Okanagan volunteered to help plant new trees and brush to help Rose Valley Regional Park recover from the 2003 McDougal Creek wildfire.
Yesterday it was students from Rose Valley Regional Elementary doing the same.
If this were #shakespeare, #thiel and #vance would manipulate #rubio and #hegseth to kill each other, maybe in some kind of duel, then the #couchfucker would invoke the #25th and then #BigHands, #47, the #childrapist would die in his sleep in the Lincoln bedroom.

Two First Nations chiefs are calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to apologize for saying he could "outlast" protesters. Chrissy Isaacs, a Grassy Narrows woman suffering from mercury poisoning, was in Toronto on Monday to demand compensation from the provincial government for mercury contamination in her community.
We pay it back with the proceeds of the empty house tax, in Vancouver and the province, in less than 10 years. Like 6-8, now that the 2026 BC budget has increased their empty home rate.
Marc Lee with the CCPA costed this all out in 2016. So we've known how to do it for a decade. We just won't.

Download 1.17 MB48 pages The housing market in Metro Vancouver is broken, and we need more rational planning and management in the interests of local people. This paper proposes a bold affordable housing solutions agenda, including an ambitious program of public re-investment in social and co-op housing, putting the brakes on absentee ownership, and progressive property taxation options.

We can borrow just $1b from the surpluses, and build 24/7 supportive housing for 4,000 people on land that is public already, and staff it with social workers already deployed.

Imagine making the stupidly rich, and only them, pay for housing for the 4,000 unhoused people in BC?
Vancouver and Surrey each have over $10b in their accumulated surplus, only a portion of it is designated for specific things.
Cities, the province and the feds own so much developable land, even just in the lower mainland.
