Income Gains at the Top Dwarf Those of Low-and Middle-Income Households Percent change in income after transfers and taxes since 1979 chart
Thank you to Kamloops Mayor Reid Hammer-Jackson for coming to our OneBC rally yesterday in the spirit of Free Speech. While the City of Kamloops administration has been deliberately disruptive to OneBC, Mayor RHJ was supportive to us when the City admin structurally cancelled our event at the Sandman Centre by demanding $7,700 in nonsensical security fees 5 days before the event. We understand Mayor RHJ himself had been dealing with the extremely hostile council and administration in trying to do his own work in Kamloops. We wish him luck in his fight to take Kamloops back from the activist Left.

'A page out of the East Germany playbook' Duncan White, director, of the Alliance of British Drivers said 15-minute cities were an "abomination". He said it was a "perverse" and "Stalinist" approach to social control, adding: "It is an encroachment on civil liberties, and it is a page out of the East Germany playbook. "With the 15-minute city, you will have to, in effect, apply for an internal passport to go and visit your granny. From a civil liberties perspective, it is nonsensical. From an operational point of view, it is bizarre."
Jeet Heer @HeerJeet 22h Bannon constantly links Ukraine and Canada in the same breath, which gives a clue as to the game plan: 1. Promote Alberta separatist movement and referendum. 2. When Alberta separatists defeated in referendum, claim election fraud, "stop the steal." 3. Use election fraud as pretext for sending in troops to restore order, protect northern interests etc. 4. Annex Alberta and perhaps rest of Canada. Not saying this will happen, but it's something percolating in Bannon's rancid mind. Daractenus Daractenus Jan 19 "Alberta is the linchpin [...] They are getting out of the Canadian union, they are going to become an independent state, we're gonna recognize them and put them on the pathway to become the 51 st US state." The US is becoming an existential threat to the entire civilized world.

Valleyview Community Chat (K... •.• X Rhi Favali • 2d • j Valleyview crosswalk Does anyone know who to contact regarding Ralph bell crosswalks? I've emailed countless times and made reports on the app with zero response but after our walk this morning having 4 cars speed past 3 adults, 2 dogs and 2 kids in a stroller waving our arms to get people to stop and our walk the other day having another 3 cars speed through while the opposite side of traffic is stopped waiting, l've really had ENOUGH.
The truth about a city's aspirations isn't found in its vision. It's found in its budget.
app.bchydro.com Connections My generation system is small. ぞ Do I have to apply? Yes, even if it's a small generation system, or one that won't have any outflow to our grid, you need to apply and get approval prior to connecting your system to our grid. This is a requirement from the Canadian Electrical Code, which stipulates that any customer who wants to connect a generating system to the electrical grid must meet their utility's interconnection requirements and receive approval prior to connecting. More importantly, it's important for the safety of our electrical workers.
SUNO r/SunoAl Ja 6h ago ThrowRA1234567788777 Join Sick of having to come up with prompts •• • Discussion Hey y'all, looking for some tips here. I like what I've made so far with Suno but now I'm kind of hitting a wall with ideas for prompts. Why doesn't Suno also have a feature to write prompts for you? Like just hit a button the says "new prompt" and then hit make song when it comes up with something that sounds interesting! Thoughts?
Judge's Choice: Sales Tax Presented by: Kiranjot Kaur Nahal, Khadija Rana, Jasleen Kaur Johal-Takhar and Jalen Bachra This team proposed a 0.5% or 1% increase to the Provincial Sales Tax within the boundaries of Metro Vancouver to fund transit investment. PST is already exempted from many essential items, and charged more heavily on discretionary items like yachts, vapes, and hotel rooms. This is one of the only tools discussed that would target tourists and luxury goods. BC currently has the third-lowest sales tax rate of any province, and a 1% increase would bring us to the median rate, equal to Ontario. Many other places fund transit through a sales tax, and those taxes are often approved by referendum. In 2024, 87% of American transit referendums were successful.
