Hey #bcploi, one industry has never received government support, and it's still crushing it.
"Countries like Germany, Portugal, and Australia received most of these exports. Canadian companies exported more than 92,000 kg of cannabis to Germany in the first seven months of 2026."

Vancouverites prefer weed smokers over beer chuggers.

Been living through a five-year project for six years with one more to go. #Politicians keep talking about the subway extension, and no one is talking about the collateral damage.

@Alex4VPG as you’re running in the riding. What or how would you support our neighborhood and its small business community during the Broadway Subway extension project, if approved and funded?

What is @Dave_Eby plan for his riding when the broadway extension is approved? How will he protect and support our community, neighborhood, and small business?
Asking as both a constituent and a survivor of the much delayed @broadwaysubway_ who asked @christineeboyle, @mikefarnworthbc and the Premier already and got nothing.

The government keeps over-taxing and regulating our industry. Meanwhile, the ones that can grow good #cannabis have found the #medical #export market and are #crushing it.
Kudos to my #farmer friends with empty vaults. Hopefully I'll get you on the @itsupinsmoke shelf soon!

Eby’s handlers said “cut his mic” - that’s why my subsequent questions were off mic.

I've never heard of a governing party planning and calling an early election but then being unable to fill all the ridings w/ candidates. I'll defer to @VaughnPalmer tho.
Especially when NDP justification was to win a stronger majority -- but can't field a full slate.
Heeeey, This is a great article!

We live in a tragedy.
BCgov execs and NDP political staff quietly got 2.5% "performance-based" pay bonuses during a year where BC ran the largest deficit in history, eliminated jobs and cut services.
@BCConservCaucus had no comment on the issue.
@PeterMilobar said it's outrageous.

This is awesome! I am so thankful for Neil, he is a rockstar
WATCH: The BC NDP pounded the table (in opposition) for Cambie merchants to be compensated for rapid transit construction.
But now (in government) compensation for Broadway businesses is off the table.

Opening a 2nd #cannabis retail location in #Vancouver has involved multiple levels of government and subcontractors.
Needless to say, I'll be happy when I no longer have to deal with any of the former and can focus on selling the residents of #Strathcona the very best Cannabis I can legally find in #BC

LOL #Province of BC and #Federal goverment on Canada cannot seem to agree on anything right now. Sheesh.
Grouse Mountain's big Canada flag has officially broken a record, according to Guinness World Records.
But is it facing the wrong way?
According to the federal government, the flag in the vertical orientation should have the leaf stem on the right. 🇨🇦
