8 yrs ago, I was evicted by landlord who said son moved in. It was renovated (I had bldg permit/photos) and then rented after 6 mos. I still lost at RTB. West Vancouver landlord ordered to pay tenant $38,000 for wrongful eviction www.timescolonist.com/local-news/w... via @timescolonist.bsky.social

This seems painfully obvious but I'm glad the evidence proves it for the remaining doubters. BC would struggle to contain oil spill off north coast www.timescolonist.com/islander/bc-...

Hey @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social - I went to see the New Pornographers a few years ago in Vancouver - and was underwhelmed. Great music but no interaction with the audience in between songs, no hype or excitement - very business like on stage. In short - better to listen to them on the radio ;)

I am proud of our prime minister. This speech meets the moment. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... #cdnpoli

I moved this week after several months both buying and selling condos in Victoria, BC. I am reading so many new year's stories (including one just now) about us living in "the worst home sales market in 30 years". I know I'm just one person, but that hasn't been my experience. 🧵 1/5

Another "open today" alert in #Victoria: Routine Coffee on Fort btwn Cook and Vancouver. This locally owned hipster haven is my post-workout go-to for coffee - so happy it was open. Grab a coffee and then hit Masala Mart on same block for authentic South Asian groceries (opened a few weeks ago).

Hey Victoria! If you don’t feel like making breakfast at home this morning, the Avalon Cafe on Fort is open today from 9 to 2 pm!

What I find interesting about @bcpolicy.bsky.social's Alex Hemingway's commentary is that his research notes that municipal exclusionary zoning remains one of the greatest barriers to solving the housing crisis.

Right. Tariffs and inflation aren't driving up food prices - it's price fixing (OK, it might be that too, but you know what I mean...)

So BC Coast is Canada’s coast says premier Moe of Saskatchewan. I guess that makes oil in Alberta Canada’s oil. And uranium and potash in Saskatchewan is Canada’s. And of course that means that Ottawa and the other provinces have a say as to how these resources are managed.

I would be DELIGHTED to have all of my online orders and parcel mail through Canada Post - and would pay more for it. It's the only service with a secure lock box in my building (everything else gets stolen), and it is a million times more reliable than these "last-mile carriers". Make it possible!
