I wish more Early Founders knew this one trick.☝️ In Business it’s Kaizen. Emergency Management it’s a Hot Wash. Politics it’s a Campaign Post Mortem. 3 simple questions, asked 2 different ways: • What worked, what didn’t & what needs to change? • What should we stop, start & keep doing?

The Romans made January the New Year as an election work around… 🗳️ You can afford to go low & slow in order to get things done & then get them right. My only advice for how to get the year started—just ask: 1/2

Single stair code changes coming to @cityofvancouver.bsky.social council today. It’s been several years of work getting to this point. It’s not everything that I’d want but it’s a good first step, with external single stairs and low/mid rise scissor stairs as entirely new housing options.

50 years ago today, Nov. 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the waves of Lake Superior during a massive storm. The sinking took the lives of all 29 men on the ship, and became immortalized in Gordon Lightfoot's song. This is the story of this terrible tragedy. 🧵1/20

Vancouver’s urban tree canopy, and the “kissing canopies” over the streets the mature trees create, are one of our city’s most important assets.

Wait… do I now also care about the White Caps MLS run? What the hell is happening?

I can’t believe this World Series made me care about baseball. Incredible season, incredible series Jays. 🙏

The jays having one good inning and then spending three hours holding everyone hostage while they waste any and all goodwill is the energy Toronto brings to this nation, I just want Americans to know this
