My #FIFA hydration break is the perfect beverage for tonight's USA vs Belgium game. A Belgian-style beer brewed in #Burnaby- @dageraadbeer.bsky.social Go #Belgium 🇧🇪

What a beautiful Canada 🇨🇦 Day afternoon for riding along the West Dyke Trail in Richmond.

Do we really care about #RoadSafety in #Vancouver ? Once again, while riding my eBike at #30kmh in a "park" zone on Victoria Drive, I was passed by a driver. This time between me & the sidewalk. We must do better @visionzerovancouver.ca @hubvancouverubc.bsky.social @cityofvancouver.bsky.social

“Climate change is increasingly acting to reduce productivity, erode living standards and drive up the prices of essentials. Food production and prices are on the front line. This won’t change until we collectively get serious about climate action.” www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

I'm looking forward to hearing my wife and her West End Singers choir colleagues at this performance tomorrow evening.

I never expected to see a "UFO" when riding the SeaBus.

The on again, off again ceasefire with Iran adds to Trump’s collection of FIFA peace prizes.

It's always beautiful walking around Trout Lake.

Happy World Bicycle Day!

My wife and I love having the Commercial St Cafe within walking distance of our home.

Once again, drivers block an intersection because they proceed into it when there are no empty lanes on the other side. Note the 3 drivers on Broadway blocking people crossing on Lakewood Drive. @visionzerovancouver.ca @theicbc.bsky.social @hubvancouverubc.bsky.social @cityofvancouver.bsky.social

'Egregious': Feds race to destroy key organic research fields www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/28/n.... WHY??

www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/15/n... As we face a hot summer & water restrictions why does Mayor Sim want to increase GHG emissions? #Vancouver

Having recently spent a lot of $$ shopping on Broadway I really don't understand why council and businesses want to make it difficult for people to #ShopByBike

You can see BC Place & the decorated cement pillar with a FIFA peace prize logo. If you're attending World Cup games you'll see this view as you'll need to walk from Mainstreet/Science World SkyTrain Station to the stadium since the Beatty St exit at Stadium/Chinatown Station is closed. #FIFAlogic

www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/08/n... And I thought Stephen Harper’s attacks on science were bad and dangerous. Little did I know that Canada’s “new” government would do the same thing.

Remembering the "Four Dead in Ohio" - killed at #KentState by the National Guard on May 4, 1970.

Workplace safety is important.

Ontario municipalities face the consequences of Ford's speed camera ban www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/23/n... Doug Ford loves to talk about "safety" except for #RoadSafety & protecting kids.

This remains the greatest piece of persuasive advertising ever made about electrification. It's insane to me that Nissan dropped it & it's insane that no one on the green left has picked it up to make it a national PSA.

When faced with the death of a loved one, British Columbians can only choose between burial and fire cremation. ​There is another alternative, already offered in other provinces and that is alkaline hydrolysis, aka aqua nation. Please sign the petition on www.aquamationbc.ca

There was a good crowd today at Champlain Square in #Vancouver (Housing Minister Gregor Robertson has his MP office there) to demand an end to subsidies to #LNG polluters and instead to invest in clean, #RenewableEnergy.

The way too common #Vancouver "tradition" of blocking crosswalks at intersections. Main St at 5th Ave

My ride home was beautiful. Looking west at Yaletown from the Cambie St Bridge. #Vancouver

Canada slow-walks PFAS rules amid US trade pressure www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/13/n.... Too bad we can’t sue Republicans for the environmental and health damage they are doing.

Thank you, Sole Food Street Farm, for your informative presentation at our Climate Action event today. Hyperlocal urban farms are great!

🇨🇦 is spending BILLIONS on LNG projects that will lock us into higher prices & delay climate solutions. Canadians are speaking up! Join us: April 15 (Victoria) or April 18 (Vancouver) to demand ❌ no more public $ for fossil fuel giants ✅ invest in clean energy Join us: linktr.ee/NotInOurNati...

If you're wondering how wet it's been in #Vancouver, here are some photos from around Trout Lake in John Hendry Park in East Van. The closest trail to the lake is under water in most locations.

@Hootsuite This 👇 isn't the best advertising for your brand. Cancel your contract with ICE

There's a great crowd with many wonderful signs at today's No Tyrants rally in #Vancouver.

If you're in the Vancouver 🇨🇦 area tomorrow, Saturday, March 28 👇

Don’t let ICE become your travel agent.

Cherry blossoms in the West End. #Vancouver

“Australia could reduce its reliance on foreign fuel by more than 1bn litres a year if we replaced 1m petrol-fuelled cars with electric vehicles, as experts say boosting EV adoption is part of securing the nation’s long-term economic security.” The Guardian March 16, 2026

And tonight’s Oscar winner 🏆 is ….👇

To paraphrase CD Howe - “what’s a billion?” It’s not like the Republicans would “waste” that money by frittering it away on healthcare or schools. #sarcasm
