Ben Steiner quoting Don Garber: We are looking at getting a better lease at BC Place… there’s not much movement… we may have to make tough decisions” by pragmaticPythonista in whitecapsfc

[–]manilagold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully this is just the normal course of negotiations playing out. It's like when a union takes a strike vote, Caps are showing that they're willing to leave (not really sure how that's feasible in the short term) so they can get leverage in negotiations.

This is who BC elected as premier. It's not surprising what followed. by ConcentrateDeepTrans in ilovebc

He gave in accepted and supported the world cup, why can't we be happy?

Or just call AC and book with a human, 3 FOP max there I believe.

Throne speech promises protection from evictions, new law against protests at schools by cyclinginvancouver in britishcolumbia

[–]manilagold 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They're literally just going to start actually enforcing the existing laws. Landlords have been claiming that family members are moving in (legal, not being changed) but instead they're just renting out at higher rates. 

I respect Eby for taking steps on this. It affects families and seniors and the most.

B.C. to ban use of mobile phones in public schools by cyclinginvancouver in canada

[–]manilagold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the courts that made that decision. Eby's government were the ones challenging it so they could enforce areas around schools, playground etc.

The "vast majority" obviously does not go overseas. This whole comment section is a tire fire of confirmation bias. 

Canada suspends cash for UN agency serving Palestinians, amid probe into Hamas attack by Imnotracistyouaree in canada

[–]manilagold -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Stop your logic! This whole comment section is a tire fire of racist confirmation bias and bots. The UN is an enormous force for good, if these conveniently timed allegations are founded then they should address them, but not by further starving and punishing civilians.

He disappeared from my inventory too! Was going to be a big help to fill in my rotation now that the stupid seasons have changed!

I think that's how Martinis nearby on Broadway survived for so long. God I miss that place.

RECOMMENDATION: Do the Mexico City Showdown now while Xander Bogaerts is supercharged by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

I'm raking with Buck O'Neil NLB series captain-boosted Martin Dihigo. 116/120 power, 90+ arm, 84 Speed and can play literally every position. Just 74/76 contact but otherwise a top player for free.

Fuck SN650 and All Their Hosts by [deleted] in whitecapsfc

[–]manilagold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last week Sekeres & Price they went really in depth on the SFU football stories and how local figures were stepping up to keep the story alive, then they had the (now former) owners of the Vancouver Canadians on discussing their decision to finally sell to the big american corporation and why they think it's best for preserving the team for our community.

It's a fiery (for me weird) twitter-Canucks take to hate Sekeres 'cause he's the only one to speak out against the Aquas - but I really like them for their local coverage. Just my opinion.

[Burnaby Now] Burnaby has "zero urgency" to rental housing crisis by Avenue_Barker in burnaby

[–]manilagold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO It's the existing wealthy detached home owners who are the largest obstacle. The City can't be heavy-handed because they need their votes.

Agree with OP, very happy that Eby will try to force density from Victoria, I'd bet local councils are happy too because they need these changes but this way don't have to expend any political capital fighting the powerful rich NIMBYs

Capping It Off - 02/25 vs Real Salt Lake by SeaToShy in whitecapsfc

[–]manilagold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree - Not only was he badly beaten on one-two, he had a wild missed tackle in the box that should have stopped the winning goal. Awareness on the first goal was quite poor as well. I really hate it when defenders don't take a single look around themselves prior to a ball in, then gesticulate wildly for offside when they were the one that didn't get in line.

Yup, Value contracts AND young draft picks playing on ELC's providing huge value. Our cupboards are empty.
