Thank god. Permanent daylight savings is one of the most universally popular policies and yet everyone refused to move on it. Now the rest of the country needs to follow suit!

Excellent episode of The Hatchet with @arshy.bsky.social. The recent police scandal is not “a few bad apples,” the Toronto Police have been operating like organized crime for generations. They act with impunity, refuse reform, and target and punish their critics: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

Whole lot of Conservative MLA's apparently not on side with this, and apparently it's not quite clear what "professionally incapacitated" here means.
Their bylaws reference "incapacitation:, but in legal terms, that's generally a specific thing.
I'm sure this is going to get even more spicy.

I am not a lawyer, but it sure seems like the BC Conservatives are trying to get rid of Rustad by using a clause in their constitution meant for a situation where the leader is, you know, in a coma or something

The BC Conservative Party just announced they have removed John Rustad as their party leader.
Comes hours after Rustad said he was staying on despite 20 MLAs calling for his removal, arguing there was no mechanism for the party to turf him as leader after winning his leadership review.

No surprise, but Carney's Liberals are down *fifteen points* in Metro Vancouver in just the last month. Alongside Quebec, the Lower Mainland is what led Carney to victory in the last election. angusreid.org/carney-smith...

A few weeks ago, we put out an episode with @jmcelroy.bsky.social where we talked a lot about how the Rest of Canada tends to ignore or misunderstand BC. And the last few weeks of federal politics seem like a perfect encapsulation of that. hatchetmedia.substack.com/p/visions-of...
