From SPEC
We are writing today to share some difficult news. #Vancouver City Council has eliminated funding for the citywide Repair Café program in its newly approved 2026 budget. Because Repair Cafés operate through a City contract, the loss of this funding will significantly erode SPEC’s ability to deliver these events at their current scale.

I only noticed after getting home from Stereolab that the song Laetitia introduced as "Capitalism is a Wound" is called, on the album, "Melodie is a Wound." Did the label censor it?! She introduced it that way in Vancouver too apparently https://exclaim.ca/music/a…

Good Morning #Canada
In July 1871, the City of Victoria officially became the capital of British Columbia, when the province joined the rest of Canada. At the time, the city was larger than Vancouver and had served as the most important settlement in the area for decades. The Colony of Vancouver Island also stamped their little feet and demanded that Victoria be designated as the capital in return for the island to join with the mainland to become part of Canada. Captain James Cook was the first British person to set foot on Vancouver Island in 1778, and in 1843, Fort Victoria was established by the Hudson's Bay Company. There is a long history of Vancouver Island serving as a naval base, and today, Victoria is the home of Canada’s Pacific Coast naval and military headquarters in nearby Esquimalt. Victoria is a top tourist destination and is regularly rated top 5 worldwide as an awesome place to live.
