What impact would this have on Canada?
Are films filmed in #Toronto and #Vancouver are "produced" in the US but filmed in Canada?
Either way, this will just lower the quality and quantity of media the US produces.

If we can geofence scooters, we should geofence cars.
That SUV should've never made it past the barricades.

"The budget projection includes $5 million in overtime costs related to ongoing work for Task Force Barrage. Those funds are to be received from the city before the end of the year, the report says."
Love to see cops blow through their budget to try and fail getting ABC two more city councillors in a pointless by-election stunt

CTVNews · Vancouver Police Department to be over budget by millions: reportThe Vancouver Police Department is expecting to be millions of dollars over budget by the end of year, according to a report.
And in Vancouver by-elections this month, despite rising advance poll usage over time, the city "decided" to reduce such polls by 50%, creating hours-long lineups, and textbook voter suppression.
Is the mayor and his party fascist?
It's an open question.
The question is how open is the question, wafer thing mint open, or gaping maw open.

Christopher Varga, People's Party: He seems like a reasonable person who lives in a different world than I do. It's also kind of funny that he's the son of Hungarian immigrants to Canada, who then moved to the States for a decade, and now he's supporting an anti-immigration party.

Sean Orr, a political freshman who campaigned successfully on a promise to “grill Ken Sim,” had not even been sworn in before he was publicly smeared by the mayor.

C'mon #translink
How about using #congestion pricing to raise some money instead of raising fares?

I've been involved in activism & political work for a long time, & based on my experience:
The organized social media mob attacks on new Vancouver city councillor Sean Orr are an obvious sign that some powerful interests are scared of him & of his stature & influence in the community.
Their ridiculous accusation of anti-semitism, when he was using sarcasm to attack an anti-semitic troll... We know it's not about anti-semitism. It's about his leftism and opposition to genocide...

Quinn: "As one of four voices of non-ABC, opposition on council, what kind of change can you affect?"
Orr: "COPE has a history of keeping other parties honest, routed in our principles and where we stand. Pulling other members of council toward us and based on Vancouver's turnout in huge numbers to support that [at the by-election], maybe a few members will have a change in conscience. But there's a lot of work to do as an advocate for social justice."

Quinn: "On fully-funded and free public transit?"
Orr: "Be an advocate to higher levels of government. Jean Swanson fought for free transit for children under 12. On "fully-funded transit", in 1993, the NDP could've done a vehicle levee ($75?) on brand new cars. If we'd gone through with that, we'd have more money for transit"
