This Saturday (June 27th) at 1pm come join our protest march from the Vancouver Art Gallery to City Hall, and let our government know what we think about short-sighted tech developments.
This earth is worth infinitely more than a few dollars in the pockets of corporations

We’ve got all our emergency workers living away from their emergency medical facilities whenever a disaster happens in #Vancouver
And no tech jobs as an excuse. It’s all just sleazy real estate speculation here
Our province’s primary industry
AI will probably drive our housing prices up as people seek cheaper places to invest their loot
#Somalia’s very first World Cup ref Artan was interrogated for 11 hrs in #Florida as he arrived for his FIFA orientation.
He is considered Africa’s top soccer referee.
The #Trump admin announced he is probably connected to terrorists in Somalia and has barred him.
The Premier of #BC Enby has stated he would be welcomed to referee matches in #Vancouver. #Toronto mayor Olivia Chow has stated he should come ref the matches in #Ontario.
FIFA said he won’t be able to.

“The study found that, of the 14 World Cups between 1966 and 2018, 11 ran deficits – meaning overall event costs exceeded revenues – and one (Russia 2018) posted a profit.
For two (England 1966 and Mexico 1986) there was insufficient data.”

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.

Hosting World Cup games will cost Canadian taxpayers $1B: watchdog report
“Hosting will cost govts per game $82 million, according to a new report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
The estimated $1.066 billion price tag to host games in #Vancouver and #Toronto will see the federal govt cover $473 million with the rest covered by other levels of government.
In all, #Canada is hosting 13 of the 104 games.”
This one is a bit of a long shot #getfedihired but here we go. I'm writing up a job description for an experienced (4+ years mgmt please) software engineering manager for a backend team (services, APIs, infrastructure).
We'd like to hire locally for this one, but the role is fully wfh remote. Looking in #Victoria (ideal), on the island, or #Vancouver (BC, Canada). #yyj #yvr
If you like #edm (or music in general) and live in the area... DM me to get a head start.... the role will be posted live in a couple weeks.

“Being too tall to see the signage on public transit” is about the only time I already complain in this direction
And my somewhat big feet beginning to make me stumble on stairs
So I already sympathize with fashion travesties like heals and short skirts on cold days 🥶
The world is designed mostly to cater to (mid sized) men. And punishes or ignores women in so many ways
And #Vancouver Skytrain signage sucks
