idk man the Wikipedia page seems to say this happened “after the invasion”. I’m pretty sure it’s all above board to sink enemy, fascist naval vessels after they invade and occupy your country.
They also let you add a speaker for $150 or $250. The whole point is that its customizable. This is a really cool concept, and I could see these being good fleet vehicles too. I love how small they are, its a size of truck I could see buying one day.
Vancouver's rental vacancy rate has fairly consistently been below 3% for the last 30 years, though its been ticking upwards recently with reduced demand (complicated reasons why, about immigration/temporary residents). This recent increase in the vacancy rate is fantastic as its pushing rent down.
a lot of people and progressives in BC haven’t clocked at all yet just how horrific the new BC Conservative leader is. She won her leadership in part by attacking Peter Milobar because his wife is indigenous. www.meetkerrylynne.ca
In 2026 he got a total of 11k from clearly pro-israel PACS. Even including previous years he only got $31k before. I don't know where they got their numbers at all, because they don't share their methodology or give any citations.
I know what you’re getting at, but an Albertan’s vote absolutely does not count as much as any other Canadian’s. An Albertan vote is worth significantly less than a Maritimer’s, a Manitoban, or a Saskatchewansr, and about 1/3 that of someone from PEI. Its worth a bit more than a BCer or Ontarian.
The data gets even more granular. We can know that the Thompson Cariboo Shuswap region has a MVI death rate 13X South Vancouver Island/Vancouver, and like 20X that of Richmond (the safest area thats tracked in this document)
Discourse about if young or older drivers are worse is now over. The new discourse is about how GOOD GOD what is happening up north
This is an instagram screenshot, where their account has 19k followers, including two of mutuals with me who I considered to be quite reasonable, both Jewish.
Like I know they have to go through PACs to do spending or whatever but that’s just a legal abstraction to deal with the law. It’s functionally the same and it’s still about campaign finance
??? Yes it is? It’s the landmark case that got rid of restrictions on corporations donating to political campaigns? That’s literally what it’s about. Are you talking about a different case by a similar name?
See: literally every leftist on this site who decided to try and defend Susan Abulhawa
www.mainstreetresearch.ca/post/can-avi... I gotta say this poll was a real shock to me. I think there’s a good number of places that he has real potential in, as a local candidate and as leader.
Have you genuinely just not seen the posts she’s sharing? She’s promoting Australian Neo-Nazis, doing Holocaust denial, and spreading 4-chan esque groyper memes. She’s fully just an antisemite. Idgaf about whatever book or essays she wrote.
I watched it. It’s just some groyper trying to handwave how she’s fallen down a neonazi rabbithole over the last months. I’m calling you out. You are doing racism and bigotry by reflexively defending her. You are disgracing the whole pro-Palestine movement and the far left.
Would her spreading conspiracy theories about Israel killing Charlie Kirk do it for you?
I’m gonna be keeping this one bookmarked for when people try to tell me there’s not problems with antisemitism on the left, it helps that this person is from the Island too. Straight up neo-Nazi talking points.
The starting salary for a full time teacher is $67k in Victoria BC, that’s significantly above the average income of ~ $43-48k (struggling to find stats can numbers that are more recent). They start already in the top half, and a decade in they’re solidly in the top 20% of income earners here.
And this is fairly typical. A few provinces don’t pay them as well, but 10 years in most are making quite good money.
If you look at the actual markets, not your theoretical inventories and your theoretical demands, we see clear shortages in supply of rentals and for sale homes, and we see when those shortages get worse the rents and prices spike nearly perfectly alongside them.
This is almost funny. I was really waiting for the actual economic analysis, and it just never came. No mention of Months of Inventory. No mention of vacancy rates. Just pure vibes, and a single statistic he thinks backs him up.
I tried to go into this with open eyes, but this article’s central claim is really bad. It’s arguing that since total dwellings per capita have increased that there cannot be a supply shortage. But: - Desired household size has declined. - 4 bedroom houses from 1970 =/= studios from 2010
The crisis is a shortage of housing. This is crystal clear in the data; rents go up when there are fewer empty homes on the market, and rents go down when landlords can’t find tenants for their rentals.
These two images are the madness runes that have done the most damage to my psyche over my lifetime:
