As a self-proclaimed Eccles Cake connoiseur, I had my mind blown after having an Eccles Cake Record pastry from Stuart's Bakery at Granville Market in Vancouver. It's the size of a 33 record - as if an eccles cake got ran over. www.instagram.com/reel/DaY-8ii...

Can men please stop using the word "bitch" in their slang talk? It doesn't make you sound cool, but instead comes across as abusive. Words matter.

Thank you, Beaches-East York.

B.C. Conservatives celebrate election win by burning down old growth forest

The UCP might make Edmonton pay up to $170M to rip out its own bike lanes. I've heard reports that the UCP has been asking for costs of full network removals. City numbers put that at $150-170M This is the same gov't that just spent $130M on a glorified opinion poll.

Meet Will, the Cambridge plumber who gets to many of his jobs by e-cargo bike. Will founded Veloplumb in 2023, with a simple idea: many plumbing jobs don’t need a van full of equipment. 'I really believe in it, it boosts mental health to be outdoors, exercising and of course doing some plumbing!

Record low NDP voter turnout caused this. 275,000 fewer NDP votes. Congratulations to the #BCGreens the only party to actually gain votes. I never want to hear about "strategic voting" again. The NDP couldn't even be bothered to vote "strategically" for their own party. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

The FRENCH don’t play when it comes to a REVOLUTION

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Denmark, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands plan to build four artificial islands to quadruple offshore wind in the North Sea – the equivalent of 30 nuclear reactors. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #climate #energy #tech #GreenNewDeal

A new Israeli government could enjoy the benefits of a diplomatic reset while leaving the occupation substantially intact. Canada should judge any incoming government by what it does to dismantle these structures. Replacing Netanyahu alone cannot justify a restoration of normal diplomatic relations.

From 1968 to 1975, Rochdale College was a student-run alternative education and co-operative living experiment operated in an 18-storey tower in Toronto. It started with promise and high ideals but eventually crime and drugs took over. This is the story. 📸 Don Dutton 🧵 1/12

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Alberta’s Minister of Health/Hospitals wants Albertans to know that the government is building everything they can to manage the incoming flu season… Except mention vaccines. In fact, the last time she tweeted about vaccines? Last year. But it was measles, not the flu.

80% of Canadian energy is derived from fossil fuels. This is the urgent issue we need to address in the next decade (or now).
