It’s a fairly quick Uber or Lyft ride away. There’s lots to see on Granville island.

They speak of justice while ruling through fear.
They speak of sovereignty while stealing the vote.
They speak of dignity while condemning their own people.
I learned that those who insist the most on calling themselves "the good ones" are often the ones most afraid to face themselves. The Maduro regime wraps itself in flags, in anti-imperialist rhetoric, in a false epic where any criticism is labeled as betrayal. They claim to defend Venezuela, yet they stole the people's voice when they refused to respect the elections. That act alone strips away any moral authority.
But do not be mistaken. The fact that a tyrant is real does not automatically turn an external aggressor into a savior.
The United States does not act out of love for democracy. It acts out of interest. It always has.
The language changes, the enemy changes, but the method remains the same: pressure, punishment, displays of power. And as always, the blow is not absorbed by those in power, but by ordinary people.

The Venezuelan people are trapped between two narratives that do not represent them. One that oppresses them from within, and another that exploits them from outside. One that claims legitimacy without real elections. Another that claims justice without taking responsibility for the human consequences of its actions.
I do not defend Maduro. I point at him.
But I also refuse to accept that a global power can appoint itself as a moral judge while its history is written in interventions, sanctions, and broken countries.
Pain does not need propaganda. Hunger does not understand geopolitics. Dignity is not imposed with missiles, nor with dictatorships.
While some sell themselves as the good ones to justify repression, and others sell themselves as the good ones to justify aggression, the result is always the same: more suffering, more rage, more generations learning that force replaces justice.
And once again, pain is inherited.

Ken Sim and ABC just gutted the Social Housing Initiative. That's not pro-housing: that's full NIMBY.

Canada should be focused on nation-building. Instead we are getting sucked into a needless pipeline war to appease Moe and Danielle Smith.
If the PM tries to kill the tanker ban without consulting BC premier Eby or First Nations he will be in for the fight of his life.
And he will lose.

Again I am dying not to drive. I don’t want to drive. If you make spaces for all it gets people like me off the roads and less traffic for the people that want to drive.
