What does jazz mean to you?


Repost di Derrick Harder

Kicking off Jazz Month with Joni’s own words on making music, a risk she knew she was taking, always pushing boundaries and redefining sound.


I bought a second copy, with this cover, from the Value Village last year

Have a different edition of White Noise so I couldn’t justify picking it up this time but I kinda love this cover.

Dan Coulter was one of the best people I've ever met. He never forgot his working-class roots. He was the underdog. He never let that hold him back. He dedicated his life to standing up for underdogs. The world is a much poorer place without him.

We knew this was going to be a close election, but we’ve been here before. BCers support our fair election process and the people at Elections BC making sure every vote gets counted. Thanks to candidates, volunteers & election workers who make democracy work.

Once again, John Rustad cannot seem to step up to the leadership that this moment demands of him. The abhorrent remarks made by this BCCP candidate perpetuate racist tropes and stereotypes that have no place in our political and democratic institutions - much less our society.

NEW: A B.C. Conservative candidate awaiting the results of a recount that could determine who forms the provincial government used a racist slur to describe Indigenous Peoples, among other comments, during an election-night interview. vancouversun.com/news/local-new…



“it’s not a bug; it’s a feature” This is what this party is and this is what they want to enable and embolden in public life. Rustad will make brief and pathetic disclaimers and then proceed to encourage them further. Shame on them all.

My BC Con candidate refused to debate me. The Green candidate hasn’t set foot in the riding. It is anti-democratic to hide from voters. I went ahead and showed up alone at two debates to answer the tough questions. That is the job - show up for your people. Be accountable.

John Rustad has repeatedly said he doesn't tell his candidates to avoid debates. But @Bryan4Langara says "my party doesn't want us to go to debates." How many times has Rustad been caught saying one thing behind closed doors and the opposite in public? #bcpoli

Yup

John Rustad would get rid of rent control – letting landlords raise rents as high as they want. This would force seniors and many others out on to the street. He is a risk we can't afford

I've worked on a lot of election platforms over the years. It honestly never occurred to me to just increase the GDP growth figure into fantasy territory until the budget balanced - because it's not a serious way to cost a platform. #bcpoli

The BC Conservatives’ education plan avoids any of the actual needs in #bced & instead distracts with harmful rhetoric targeting 2SLGBTQIA+ students, IBPOC communities & students with disabilities. And it clearly signals an attack on teachers, in a bargaining year no less.

The BC Conservative Party has released an education platform that shows a deep misunderstanding of public schools and what students in them need. #BCElection2024 #ITeachIVote #bcpoli #bced 1/9
