What impact would this have on Canada?
Are films filmed in #Toronto and #Vancouver are "produced" in the US but filmed in Canada?
Either way, this will just lower the quality and quantity of media the US produces.

"I have a passion for landscape, and I have never seen one improved by a billboard. Where every prospect pleases, man is at his vilest when he erects a billboard." David Ogilvy (1911-1999)

Despite a loud minority on the Metro Vancouver Regional District board (responsible for more than half of B.C.’s population!) calling for climate action cuts, thousands of Metro Vancouver residents and more than 100 business leaders showed up last month and cut through the noise to successfully defend climate action funding and climate regional coordination.

If we can geofence scooters, we should geofence cars.

"The budget projection includes $5 million in overtime costs related to ongoing work for Task Force Barrage. Those funds are to be received from the city before the end of the year, the report says."

Is the mayor and his party fascist?
It's an open question.
The question is how open is the question, wafer thing mint open, or gaping maw open.

@rhymerepartee @nigelsezyarr Totally agree that #proportionalRepresentation is better. #AviLewis agrees, said he. But also, the Cons have not won #VancouverCentre since the Cold War. #NDP consistently comes in 2nd here. So, this is not a riding which demands Strategic Voting. #CdnPoli #vanpoli #elxn45

Christopher Varga, People's Party: He seems like a reasonable person who lives in a different world than I do. It's also kind of funny that he's the son of Hungarian immigrants to Canada, who then moved to the States for a decade, and now he's supporting an anti-immigration party.

Sean Orr, a political freshman who campaigned successfully on a promise to “grill Ken Sim,” had not even been sworn in before he was publicly smeared by the mayor.

How about using #congestion pricing to raise some money instead of raising fares?

I've been involved in activism & political work for a long time, & based on my experience:
The organized social media mob attacks on new Vancouver city councillor Sean Orr are an obvious sign that some powerful interests are scared of him & of his stature & influence in the community.
Their ridiculous accusation of anti-semitism, when he was using sarcasm to attack an anti-semitic troll... We know it's not about anti-semitism. It's about his leftism and opposition to genocide...
