thetyee.caWhat Really Happened to Tatyanna Harrison? | The TyeeA belated coroner’s inquest was supposed to provide answers. Instead, it raised troubling questions.

10 July

An inquest heard that police and coroners dismissed injuries to a young woman's body that an independent pathologist said would have prompted him to do a forensic sexual assault test. #mmiwg And that's just one of the disturbing points from this case. Full story here: thetyee.ca/News/2026/07...

One Chart That Explains The 2026 B.C. Election

I've reported a lot on OneBC and Dallas Brodie, the party that did its best to promote residential school denialism and attack Indigenous rights in this province. Tonight she lost her riding of Vancouver-Quilchena about as hard as you can lose.

“if I had a million dollars” plays at BC NDP HQ as news networks project a Conservative majority #bcpoli

So far it looks like David Eby is holding onto his seat in Vancouver-Point Gray. MAYBE. My guess is that we'll see his resignation tonight.

David Eby has given his concession speech and also resigned, "obviously" he said.

Notable LGBTQ2S+ results for Vancouver city council: ✨ Solomon Yi-Kieran is non-binary uses they/them pronouns. ✨ Devyani Singh is queer. ✨ And not for nothing, Sean Orr is regularly seen in a "protect trans kids hat," and I can report he was LOUDLY leading chants at the Trans March this year.

Because BC is going through 2 elections at the same time, I flippantly told a political comms person I'd be "working all weekend" but that's not quite true I'm going to the Elizabeth Holmes documentary this afternoon and I definitely do not want to be disturbed from 12-3 thank you in advance

A couple little slides I made this morning showing just HOW MUCH Vancouver voters came out to vote. Turnout was dramatically higher than in 2022: in 2026 there were 209,214 ballots cast compared to 171,494 in 2022. #vanpoli
