Today is the last day for members of the #BCCons party to vote in the party's leadership #election.
Which raises a question: political parties in #Canada, to increase participation, have online voting. They also oppose online voting for #Canadians at all levels of government. Is this hypocritical?

| Yes | |
| No | |
| No answer, just wanna see results. |
So sick and tired of this, has to be stopped - decent weather and all the no muffler motorbikes, jacked up trucks and super cars are blithely racing around making noise
It's not just annoying, but dangerous. I could not hear an ambulance with sirens approaching behind me because 2 idiots on Harleys were mass revving engines at a stop light - also, they did not get out of the way
Needs to be a mass provincial intervention - huge fines, driver suspensions, vehicles crushed
A rare instance of sanity prevailing at the Supreme Court of Canada. I just hope no one's lives have been financially ruined by the horrible Cowichan decision before today's ruling.
The judge in the New Brunswick case said it best: "In the New Brunswick decision, an Appeal Court judge said in December that a declaration of Aboriginal title over privately owned lands “would sound the death knell of reconciliation with the interests of non-Aboriginal Canadians.”"
And they were right.
Now, aboriginals who say they don't want title over private property but have done nothing legally binding to renounce it can no longer weaponize that threat to livelihoods.
Thank you, Supreme Court!

She knows shit about fucking things up!
#Nanaimo #vancouver #kamloops #merritt: stop the AI surveillance anti-human fascist "data" centres!
Alexa/Siri/etc are all called smart speakers, but they're smart MICROPHONES: data centres are actually destroying water, electricity, safe healthy communities, and low noise and light pollution.

Within a week of launching a self-reporting map, more than 1,600 community reports have been filed regarding data centers, highlighting widespread concern. https://brockovichdatacenter.com/ Key findings include: Public Awareness & Transparency: 8% of respondents reported that Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) hid projects from the public until it was too late or secretly made a deal with the company, leaving communities feeling ignored in decision-making processes. This is a recurring pattern: residents learning about projects only after non-disclosure agreements were signed, planning processes conducted "behind closed doors," or local officials prevented from sharing information with constituents. Project Status: The majority of reports concerned projected or planned AI data centers with a significant number also addressing facilities currently under construction or already operational. Core Concerns: Recurring complaints focused on higher utility bills, failing infrastructure, extreme noise pollution from generators, potential health impacts, and water shortages/depletion. Key Trends: The reports indicate that concerns are split between immediate operational issues (noise, water) and long-term infrastructure/transparency issues. Information is power! Keep reporting and I’ll keep the updates coming.
Any time some fascist in the c/a/n/a/d/a project introduces legislation to nuke the human rights act or other white patriarchy neofeudalism fuckery, remember #mairikkka:
The game plan seems to be:
1. Say you support civil rights.
2. Defund the office that enforces them.
3. Trust that no one is paying close enough attention to notice.

@ericdoherty.bsky.social why does it cost 4 to 5 times more in Canada vs Australia, even with our provincial subsidies and tax breaks to install solar and battery systems? And impossible to get balcony solar, not allowed in most rental buildings and condos
