After almost waiting a year, I finally received a copy of my FOI request to the provincial government of British Columbia about plans for passenger railway service along the Sea to Sky Corridor plus details about intercity bus service.
It's 2,000+ pages so this is going to be an ongoing thread.

I’m at a Seattle city club event, and local FOX anchor Hana Kim just demanded that Mayor Katie Wilson respond to Spencer Pratt’s claim that people are flooding into Seattle to be homeless because they love the lenient access to drugs here. People are clapping for Spencer Pratt.

It's come to my attention that some people still don't know the history of the Fraser Institute, and why they shouldn't be trusted.

I know someone who was hit by a driver running a stop sign and had considerable injuries and the ICBC ghouls tried to bill him for damage to the car. No fault is basically a victim punishment scam and it should be abolished.
This is absolutely unbelievable and unacceptable. No fault must cover damages, and the idea that ICBC will just up and deny them immediately shows how it serves only to protect ICBC and not provide for Canadians who have been struck.

Aaron Gunn is the same MP who wants to ban land acknowledgments because they personally offend him as a colonizer.
Gunn is a Canadian trying incredibly hard to be a MAGA American. He was part of BC Proud, which brought MAGA style politicking to BC. He can not be allowed into government.

To my mind, the most interesting thing about OneCity's council primary is you have two of the most "build more housing" advocates in the city in Peter Waldkirch and Russil Wvong running for the "build more housing" party
And a lot of the establishment is supporting a group that sidelines them
