Online backlash over asking rental prices at the Indigenous-led SenΓšḵw development in Vancouver may reflect a disconnect between market rental prices and what renters can actually afford, experts say.
The prices — posted online by Vancouver real estate journalist Howard Chai and others — included $9,070 per month for a three-bedroom, two-bathroom unit.
SenΓšḵw's largest units, the 1,570-square-foot four-bedroom, four-bathroom units, were listed at $12,500 per month.

False Creek Ferries on Instagram: "This was meant for May the 4th, but who has time to edit instagram videos? A long time ago, in a harbour not so far away... It is a restless time on FALSE CREEK. For decades, a brave flotilla of LITTLE BLUE FERRIES has carried locals, wanderers, and the occasionally lost tourist through the waters of Vancouver. But now, from the far eastern reaches of the inlet, there rises a strange and gleaming SPHERE, vast, mysterious, and impossible to ignore. Whispers spread from dock to dock. Could this polished orb signal the end for the humble captains of the creek? Undaunted, the little blue boats gather once more, setting course on a daring voyage to defend their waters, their passengers, and their modest but dependable fares.... Please note: No pedal boats, ferries, Science Worlds, or crew members were harmed in the making of this adventure. False Creek Ferries and @goeasyvancouver are pleased to share the creek in peace. 😊. Tune in next time for the exciting conclusion..."

Hey Seattle/Portland friends.
Look out for information about this missing person. She was found, nearly dead, in the water near Vancouver BC in 2022. She died the next day, unidentified.
New analysis of pollen on her clothing indicates she might have just arrived to BC from the Seattle or Portland areas.
Apparently BC RCMP will be doing a news conference in the USA in the near future to try to find anyone who might recognize her.

Excited to have grabbed 4 tickets to see the Vancouver Canadians (Single-A affiliate of MLB Toronto Blue Jays). ⚾️🧢
Tickets are cheap! $35ea!
The scary part is travel on August long weekend, and we're making it a day trip from #PortAlberni so busy ferries and other crossing modes are in our future!
Here's the price breakdown for the various transportation modes from #Nanaimo to #Vancouver, return, for 4 adults.
Results are predictable. The spread is wide between walking onto BC Ferries and flying 4 people on a sea plane! The Horseshoe Bay route on BC Ferries has a premium right now because of construction but it's actually shorter transit time to/from Vancouver from Tsawassen anyway.
My only worry about walking on the ferry is there might not be day parking at the terminal in the middle of a long weekend!

making a script to backup the postgresql and redis docker containers... so I can have this run everyday to ensure I don't lose anything if/when docker collapses.
I also noticed that the docker containers all use UTC time, which is annoying, and who knows maybe that has something to do with the instability? so i synced it to America/Vancouver
Also... I know "America" is the continent, not the country in this context. But there is more than one Vancouver on the American continent. Canada/Vancouver would be better, no?

these two major fires happened nine days apart. Either one could have come into town with the right conditions. We are having a community meeting on Wednesday to go over what happened last year. It's going to be interesting and probably pretty emotional. Rightly so.
I honestly think a big reason why most of the Liberal Party just doesn't get it is because they are centered in urban and sub urban Ontario and don't have to worry about their homes burning down every year.
And allow me to just stop you right there before you say this is normal for our neck of the woods.
Fires? sure. Fires that threaten towns on Vancouver Island. No. Never. Not in my lifetime. Nor anyone elses.

it's rainy on Vancouver Island which is great... but now our firefighters need to go help try to extinguish giant fires in the rest of the province. again.
it is almost every year now.
my kids have never known anything different.
but I have. And it fills me with guilt that I got to experience a better world that was ruined and continues to be ruined by people who knew better and CHOSE this.

Carney
Trudeau Jr
Harper

Trudeau Sr
..... all of them had choices they could have made.
But it is the most recent ones that are the most culpable...
because every day, every year, that passes, the losses
mount, the path gets harder, the damage grows. "Evidence" at this point is irrelevant because every damn person knows it in their soul regardless what words come out of their mouth.
Every politician that continues this is complicit and should have done more. That includes every level of government including my brief moment.
So we fight on. So our kids might know something other than it always getting worse.

The summer is heating up! #Edmonton and #Montreal are flooded by historic rains, Lytton BC is under threat again by wildfire, and Vancouver Island is in a historic drought.
Does Environment Canada have the ability to warn us and track the changes in our climate? The government is cutting ECCC services and capabilities at a time that we need it more than ever.
Here's our petition to tell them to restore Environment Canada!
#e7465! We're hoping for many more before the summer ends so Government can't ignore this issue.
Here’s what we, citizens and residents of Canada, are asking from the #Carney Government:
1. Reverse cuts to Environment and Climate Change Canada that impact weather forecasting, meteorological research and climate science;
2. Restore and maintain Weatheradio and other accessible public alert systems;
3. Protect and expand weather observation and climate monitoring stations across Canada;
4. Ensure adequate staffing and long-term funding for ECCC programs, scientists, meteorologists and technical experts; and
5. Recognize weather forecasting and climate monitoring as essential public safety infrastructure.
The petition ends August 26th in time for the new session in the fall. We have the summer to get it done!

I am glad that the Qatar player, Assim Madibo, who broke Koné’s leg, sought out Kone immediately in the dressing room to apologize before Kone was taken to hospital.
He seemed genuinely distraught and upset after the tackle.
Some of the people on the Qatar bench need a good slap for their reactions... but on the whole, Madibo reacted in the right way, and that goes a long way to making what happened truly a tragic accident that can happen at any time in professional sports.
I wish Madibo well, and I hope Koné's recovery can be as quick, and complete as possible over the next few months.
And of course, I hope this gives Canada at least some added motivation and drive to get to the knockout stage and really make some noise in this thing!
