Complex industrial firefighting at Hfx Grain Elevator. The fire is located about 135 feet above ground within the facility’s dust management system, presenting significant access and tactical considerations. Crew are operating deliberately and aggressively, supported by aerial and drone operations.

Oh no. Two Wheel Gear, the Vancouver makers of excellent commuting panniers is closing. #bikeyvr

I suppose the one good thing about such a large BCCP majority is that Lorne Doerkson can expel a good handful of "misbehaving" MLAs without running the risk of losing government.

Photo from Reddit. White nationalists just outside the BC Legislature this morning after a BC Cons supermajority. This group is Loyalist Pioneers, a white nationalist organization virtually identical to Second Sons. They've been active around Victoria for about a year & a half.

Day 1 after the Conservatives won a super majority: white nationalists gathering across the street from the BC legislature. Gonna be a long and hard 4 years. Take care of each other, friends. Don't stop fighting back and standing up for what's right, but take care of yourselves and each other first.

Vancouver-Yaletown? Bad week for the Kirby-Yungs

Woke up mad.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

So Premier Eby resigns, and presumably the BCNDP will appoint an interim leader. The BCCP just won an election with an interim leader. BC politics is off the scale.

An important voice, one faint hope in the coming 4 years in BC.

Arachne, Creon, Napoleon, and now Eby: history's examples of ultimate hubris.

Trans kids in peril? Thank @davidebybc.bsky.social. Massive backlash against indigenous rights? Thank @davidebybc.bsky.social. On going climate crisis? You guessed it. Housing crisis? That too. Anti-vaxxers in your schools? @davidebybc.bsky.social is the gift that keeps on giving.

You fools. You absolute morons. Related: all 3 news orgs have called a BC Conservative majority.

The one week of political optimism was nice.

Congratulations, Jens, this is a superb dashboard.

Polls are about to close, trying my hand on a pre-generated web page that dynamically updates as results come in. Wish me luck. doodles.mountainmath.ca/posts/2026-1...

Trans rights organizations are sounding the alarm over what they say is anti-trans rhetoric coming from the Conservative Party of BC. @michellegamage.bsky.social reports. #BCPoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...

I am somewhat annoyed about having a snap election, but time to put that aside and go vote. Voting matters, elections have consequences.

@staciebee.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy HBD Stacie! I hope you have a great day.

Let's do this again, shall we? Polls are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. PT today. Check wheretovote.elections.bc.ca for voting locations near you. See you at the polls! 🚲 #IBikeIVote #BCPoli #VoteToBike #BikeToVote

Today's date, 24/10/26 (or 10/24/26 to some), is the last time in our lives that those three numbers will make up a Pythagorean triple! In other words, 24²+10²=26², and that's the last such pattern of this century

Ah yes, the illegal Halloween fireworks have started a week early.

And this election is going to go down as one of the biggest footguns in BC politics.

I have a feeling turnout is going to be low this election; ElectionsBC has not made it easy this time around.

Can people spread the word, this election is being run with 2020 rules? ASSIGNED VOTING PLACE, and an assigned ballot box. If you are NOT at your assigned box, you vote absentee (multi-envelope). BUT bonus, elections BC has no easy way to find out your assigned box number other than your card

Protected bike lanes aren't really for the 10000 km/yr cyclist. They're for the person who wants to ride 500 km/yr but doesn't feel safe or comfortable. There are a lot more of those people than 10000 km/yr avid cyclists.

all of it.

To the people who are still talking about how Canada is "not taking Alberta seriously" -- what on earth are you talking about? The PM is an Albertan. The leader of the opposition is an Albertan. Our national politics revolve around Alberta's interests and concerns. What else do you want?

To everyone who chose *not* to wear rain gear this morning, you're welcome. 😓 #bikeyvr

Because there's not enough going on: Vancouver Coastal Health warns that rabies has been confirmed in Downtown Vancouver. Anyone who may have come in contact w/ "abnormally behaving skunk" downtown, West End or in Stanley Park (map) Sept 22-Oct 17 should call VCH public health ASAP: 604-675-3900

This is how you do it. Frame automatic traffic cameras as a safety solution (which they are), and ignore drivers who get mad that they can no longer break the law with impunity.

So, PHP, huh? :/ github.com/NCSC-NL/php2...

I accidentally voted! Don't need to worry about Saturday now.

Today was a, um, "gloves-forward" ride. Brrrr. #bikeyvr
