I was thrilled to discover while canvassing that the little convenience store restored by builder @rwittstock at 34/Nanaimo as part of a small townhouse project has finally got a cafe, La Tasca, opened by the operators of Granville Island Stock Market. Small but cool lunch menu

What a mess and completely preventable. A publicly funded health system should have more authority around vaccines - they are not polite suggestions. And who gets to fund this mess? Canadian Taxpayers. Who benefits? Those who don’t think vaccines work, despite the science.

@UPS_Canada I am unable to find a way to contact a human, but at approx 19:50h on August 19 one of your trucks drove at highly excessive speed in our 30kmh neighborhood. 7400 Carrington St in Vancouver. We have kids, horses, dogs and wildlife here. Please do better.

Actually.
Councils' *literal job description* is good governance and accountability.
We abstained (an affirmative vote predicated by a lack of compelling information) after ABC caucus refused articulation of trade-offs for their facile resolve to a 0% tax increase #transparency
18 Jun 2025
We just voted to keep property taxes low with the major affordability challenges residents and small biz are facing in our City.
ABC have asked staff to report on three property tax increase scenarios for 2026:
2.5%, 1.5% or 0%.
Once again, three Councillors wouldn’t take a position and vote. Voting is literally a Councillor’s job description.

Honoured to be named Head of Surgery @UBC. I look forward to working with our incredible faculty, staff & learners to advance surgery.
This wouldnt be possible without my @ubcgensurg family & @Providence_Hlth Colorectal Surgery team. They are my true inspiration.

No real mystery - it was announced to coincide with the civic by-election and reported on with dedicated press announcements during the campaign period. “Vancouver mayor can’t answer how $5M for ‘Task Force Barrage’ was approved – CTVNews” ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article…

There is some irony that Premier Eby’s political website espouses his ‘award-winning’ human rights legal background yet he needs to be reminded of human rights by @CBA_News & provides judgement & decision in the @BCLegislature. #bcpoli

With a needed election expected to be announced this wkd, could @liberal_party please get a candidate sorted for @VanQuadraLibs. Not like we haven’t had 12 months to figure this out. Other riding are printing signs, we don’t even have a candidate!

Why did Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Volodymyr Zelensky in front of cameras rather than do the hard work of seeking peace that protects the sovereignty of Ukraine?
A journey through the tormented mind of the worst president in modern, American history...

Where is Mayor @KenSimCity in this Council Meeting. All of these speakers are here to discuss a motion that he has already publicly announced and he isn’t around to hear public input prior to voting. @PeterMeiszner is chairing Council.

So in case you think this platform continues to accept vetted ads and adhere to any standards, here is what happens when you try to report a political ad that doesn’t reflect #TruthInAdvertising.
Bye bye X. You have become a bottom feeder of #socials.
