Older map of BC time zones (not including the Northern Rockies zone).
East Kootenay is in the southeast. Peace is in the northeast.

BC's Peace & Northern Rockies regions have had their own time zones.

Peace has had Mountain Time since 1974 (same as BC's PST in summer and Alberta's MST in winter), with no time changes.

Northern Rockies has been on Alberta time (MST) since 2015, with time changes.

B.C. or Alberta time for the Kootenays?
B.C. or Alberta time for the Kootenays? YouTube video by CBC British Columbia

CBC, please, you're a news organisation: be accurate.

The EAST Kootenay has the same time zone as Alberta. NOT the Kootenays (West Kootenay is on Pacific time).

Showing a map of the time zone boundary would've been helpful.

Also...

That's not the two options.

Firstly, Republicans are doing everything possible to prevent Dems winning the House (people removed from voter rolls, redistricting, using ICE to intimidate people to not vote).

Secondly, overthrowing the gov't to then hold free & fair elections doesn't mean communism.

And/or naive enough to believe Americans will realize democracy isn't only about voting and actually do what needs to be done to overthrow the regime.

The positive here is that soon most Americans will be unemployed and won't be able to use the "I can't protest because I have to work" excuse.

Is Nepal's ex-rapper mayor on track to be new PM? Votes counted so far show Balendra Shah and his Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) are on track to win the general election.

This is only inspiration for countries that have functioning democracies, like Brasil or South Korea.

Americans need to look to Nepal for inspiration:

Overthrow the government. Then hold free & fair elections and elect their version of Mamdani as the country's leader.

Ah yes, if only responsibilities in a democracy were limited to voting day.

Sadly, it seems most Americans believe that is the case - that democracy only happens 1 day every 4 years.

The 1% of Americans who have been protesting and fighting back get it. Everyone else needs to learn from them.

Counterpoint: Lowering the speed limit for all towns in Manitoba would be a great thing.

Also, why isn't Wab or the Manitoba NDP on Bluesky? It's baffling that all these so-called progressives are still on Twitter.

It's rare that urban planning is chosen as the career for characters in film or TV. As opposed to architects, for example, who are very over represented. Hollywood really needs to highlight planners more.

Tomorrow is Saturday. A day when most Americans don't work. Americans could use your collective day off to end this. If you actually wanted to end it.

Instead, most Americans will continue to do nothing.

Of course they expected it. The US is the largest oil producer in the world AND they have taken control of Venezuela's oil reserves.

The US regime benefits from higher oil prices.

Always follow the money.

As an outsider looking in it's bizarre for two reasons:

1. It was obvious what Trump & Co were going to do. They even published a manifesto (Project2025).

2. Dwelling on hypothetical "Kamala wouldn't have..." arguments is not going to fix the problem. Americans need to actually FIX THE PROBLEM.

Canada Plans New Pathway to Permanent Residence for 33,000 Temporary Workers Canadian & US Immigration Lawyers

Canada has soft-launched a promised program to transition current work permit holders to permanent residence. But it will only be for 33,000 people.

2.1 million temporary resident permits expired in 2025. Another 2 million are expiring in 2026.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could vote for politicians who aren't total trash?

Absolutely disgusting from @intermiamicf.bsky.social and @mls.bsky.social to accept the invitation from Trump.

What an embarrassment all of these Latino players are to the Americas. Shame on them all.

This is similar to the recent action in MΓ©xico. The US forced Ecuador to team up, with the threat of US invasion as an "or else."

The irony of the most famous Argentino standing by while the US President talks about overthrowing the Cuban government.

Very interesting read.

And Canada's recent budget cut funding for environmental projects. Poor economic decision.
