Transit in BC. Frustrating! A route that used to be 1h 13m in 2011 is now 1h:46m compared to 37 minutes by car.
How can transit planners expect riders to take a bus for 3hrs and 19m when the same journey could be done in 1h 10m in a car?
That's the reality in the Nanaimo transit system. They serve a vast area, with over 100,000 people. But In 25 years, the time to get from the edge of that area, to the middle, has grown.
And don't get me started on using the railway.

Do you take the bus from Port Alberni to Nanaimo?
In Metro Vancouver we have a dedicated bus that picks up people from a few cities and then travels directly to UBC - the 99 or Bee Bus, as it is know locally. I wonder if that would work for your location?
@ElleAdam oh I WISH! :)
I've been advocating for something like that for most of the past 20 years. Unfortunately, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Courtenay, and Duncan are all their own regional districts with their own transit systems. Getting them to do “inter-city” transit is crazy hard.
So I drive to the nearest practical bus stop. It used to be Qualicum (only 30 minutes), then it was Parksville (40min), now it's 50min to Woodgrove Mall… basically just to avoid the cost of parking at VIU :(

Seeing Straight people who think threatening violence towards Trans people on a global platform to millions of people, some of whom WILL take that advice as "no reason to arrest him"
Just swallow the Transphobic society's lies why don't you, it's easier than giving a shit about us 'dirty' Queers....after all, we're after your children, aren't we?
Maybe if you were a victim of this mans hatred towards Queers like I have been you would understand.

I got down to about four months to pay on my car payments, and I started to get emails from the bank about refinancing deals.
Dude. I'm short. I'm almost there. I am NOT going to stretch it out!
Just one month now, and I got another one today. 🤭

Parents must confirm sex at birth for students in girls' sports in Edmonton Public Schools | CBC News
Will parents comply?
Surely there will be protests about this, even on the grounds that all girls suddenly face a barrier to the sports they have a right to play, that boys don't,.
Even if they don't care about trans girls' rights.

> It comes as the Fairness and Safety in Sport Act sets new rules prohibiting transgender athletes from competing in amateur female sports divisions.
"Fairness"? Certainly unfair to trans girls.
"Safety"? How many injuries are caused by trans girls, compared with overall injuries in school sports? Where's the evidence?
Nothing but transphobia, though not really fear, just hate.

I lived there for 10 years, left 35 years ago. I miss my friends who are still there, and the mountains.
Not much else.

Ableism is, at its core, rooted in capitalist exploitation of labor.
If your labor cannot be exploited, you are labeled disabled and discarded by society.

Healthcare extra...
One of the areas in healthcare that most sharply highlights the difference between those who can afford private healthcare and those who cannot: dental care.
Thousands are suffering constant pain and related health issues because dental care is simply unaffordable.
Metro prices.
Basic filling, $200-450; root canal, $1.7k - $2.5k; crown - $2k plus; oral hygienist - $120-200.
And specialist services such as endodontics, periodontics or orthodontics are double-triple these prices.
There's a desperate need to provide free dental care for low income and disadvantaged NZers for key dental procedures.

I think there are two things necessary for positive change:
1) A collapse of faith in the bourgeois social order;
2) The growth of a network of directly democratic institutions that involve large numbers of people.
The second is, materially, more work. But people try all the time. Their work is co-opted, and that's where the lack of the first is most painfully felt.
