I asked Premier Kinew if he has concerns about Premier-designate Doerksen's promise to repeal DRIPA in BC:
"The election results in BC should concern every elected politician and every consultant out there... what we're doing is not a game."

We desperately need beds in AB.
We don't need our premier trying to fool us that we have them.
If we could even get back to the bed number we had in 2000 it would be a massive improvement.
GoA: set a goal and then get it done!

Channing Tatum improvised Jenko’s meltdown after discovering Schmidt slept with Captain’s daughter in 22 JUMP STREET (2014). The director loved the idea of him running around the station telling everyone, so they rolled cameras and let him loose. 😂

David Eby’s Big Mistake will be taught in poli sci classes and discussed in political backrooms for generations
The @Conservative_BC actually received 50,000 fewer votes than in 2024 (but won 20 more seats) because the @bcndp vote dropped by 275.000 (29%) while the @BCGreens got 23,000 more votes than last time (+13%) - still some ballots to be counted.

9003 Acute Care Spaces is NOWHERE near a record number for our prov
In the late 1980s we had 17,790 acute care spaces in hospitals (~12,000 acute care beds, +LTC beds)

WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.
Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.
Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.
then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.
This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.

Remember that AI productivity boom they were all promising??
Well, according to Apollo, there are NO signs of this through the broader economy.
The only sector that benefits is tech.
Read that again.
493 out of 500 companies in the S&P 500 saw no benefit from adopting AI...

“I don’t know that anyone is going to want to do a citizen’s initiative after this,” she said. “I put two questions forward that were part of a citizen’s initiative campaign, and everybody blamed me for it.”

Danielle Smith says that schools like the one in her constituency that flies multiple international flags inside the school will be able to get an exemption.
Want to guess what’s not in the new regulations?
An exemption process.
Or even the word “exemption”.
