I know it's not everybody's experience, but after Gwen got abandoned in Dublin by Air Canada and had to make her own way home (which we had anticipated and booked a back-up flight) Air Canada has, without fuss, reimbursed her for her missed flight and the extra flight.

Seems like the postal workers didn't like the government telling Canada Post that it was okay to end home delivery, if they want to. Postal strike in progress! Sigh.

This is a cool observation! Happy Perfect Square Day to those that celebrate! 45^2−3^2−5^2 #iso8601forever

Wow! This will be an interesting change to BC politics. I hope she's able to bring new, youthful energy to the discussion!

What changed for the BC's e-bike rebate participants: · +40 km/week of riding · -17 km/week of driving · -17% in emissions · -12% in travel costs · +13% in physical activity https://news.ubc.ca/2025/09/bc-e-bike-rebates-benefits/ This is a clear win, but the program needs funding. #ubc […]

What's the worst intersection in Metro Vancouver, and why is it Main & East 7th & Kingsway? More importantly: how would you redesign it? My take: like all of Kingsway, it should have protected bike lanes. Also let's make it transit only between Main St and Broadway. And allow pedestrians to cross.

We started with 32, nominated by you. We're down to TWO intersections in the Worst Intersection in Metro Vancouver finals! Main & 7th & Kingsway? Or No. 3 Rd & Sea Island Way & Bridgeport Rd? Only one can emerge victorious. Vote now! visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/09/23/w...

"Montréal is often hailed as the most “biking-friendly” city in North America. But our research has found that only 2.3 per cent of the city’s roadways are allocated to bike infrastructure, with car infrastructure occupying the remaining 97.7 per cent of road space." #yycbike

This was probably a preemptive move. My suspicion is that a number of MLAs are going to express non-confidence in him and threaten to jump ship if he doesn't step down. Any guesses who the ringleader might be? 🤔

Apparently tomorrow is The Rapture, previously rescheduled? Is it a pot luck? Do I need to bake some ascension cookies?

aka they lost 4 billion dollars.

Your regular reminder not to use Google Maps for cycling in Vancouver. Try, well, anything else. Komoot is pretty good. #bikeyvr

I think there's a word for that

I guess @pwaldkirch.bsky.social will need to write a few more verses to his city council accordion piece. dailyhive.com/vancouver/19...

It's your last chance to vote in the Worst Intersection in Metro Vancouver semifinals! Main & 7th vs Boundary & Grandview. No 3 Road & Bridgeport vs Brunette & Braid. Vote now! visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/09/09/w...

I feel this in my creaking GenX bones.

Currently playing the "wildfire smoke or local structure fire" game.

How much longer until a Department of Information is manifested out of thin air? And an Information Secretary. And Information Police. Or, more likely, a Department of Truth. Along with a Department of Love.

The kid is reading Brave New World for his English 12 class. He says the teacher chose it because "It's one of the banned books in Alberta" 🤣

Bwahaha. /r/VancouverLandlords, huh? Frankly, I'm impressed that it only cost the city $33,500. And, yes. The answer is yes.

Trying this again. On Saturday Oct 4th (not tomorrow) there will be a rally in support of the Olympic Village school at Hinge Park, 10am-11:30am. You still have 2 weeks to make some clever signs. It's stupid we need to rally in support of schools. www.facebook.com/events/78049... #IRegretTheError

For those in Vancouver looking for a co-operative housing option … open house Sun. Sept 21 super close to Joyce Collingwood skytrain! More affordable and secure than renting & best thing you get to help build a community, know your neighbours.

Just took the kid's bike into our LBS (Bikes For All, the friendliest bike shop in the city, I swear) for its fall tune up and damn, bike parts aren't getting any cheaper. Still the best way to get around town, though. #bikeyvr

Vancouver! Look at all the things you can now report on van311.ca and the Van311 app! Obstructions of all sorts! PARKED CARS. #BikeYVR

“I'm down for it" means "I'm up for it.” Sure, why not.

Nerds, you've failed me. No one's talking about the Intel/Nvidia deal?

This is the 14th road fatality in Vancouver this year and the 10th pedestrian killed, not including another 11 at Lapu Lapu. Our leaders are letting us down. There are 41 crashes per year at this intersection, the 4th worst along Victoria Drive. (1/4). vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/09/18/d...

Apparently Jon Stewart is hosting a special edition of the Daily Show tonight. Is it possible to watch this online in Canada tonight, rather than tomorrow?

We got our toddler the MMR the day he was old enough. These people are killers.

The Notwithstanding Clause was a mistake. Politicians did not anticipate weaponizing it against marginalized parts of our society out of malice and hatred. Human rights are human rights; you should not be allowed to override them.

The Canadian constitution, meanwhile, is not looking so healthy itself

thinking, after a pedestrian was killed at 12th and Victoria, about how Vancouver has a 311 app with a million categories and no way to complain about a dangerous intersection

The back-to-school-elementary-school-teacher plague has struck, right on schedule. Friggin germ factories.

And now a quite windy ride home. How many derelict boats are going to wash up on Vancouver's beaches tonight?

Warm, muggy ride this morning. Wildfire smoke in the sky but not so much at ground level. Weird weather for the second half of September. #bikeyvr

Crime! Chaos! Out of control! PP lives in a completely different world and I'm so disappointed in his return to the airwaves.

Tonight, it's political theatre. I'm attending the Park Board meeting where the Stanley Park Mobility Study will be presented. Should I live-post? #vanpoli

Apartments (including rentals and below market homes!) are banned from most of the city's nice side streets. That sucks! @lucymaloney.bsky.social's motion to legalize 6 floor apts by parks and bike routes could help change that. Here's how you can show support: pwaldkirch.ca/2025/09/12/s...

@cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social As an Olympic Village resident living about 80m from the school site: 1) I don't worry at all about loss of green space, 2) I don't worry at all about increased motor vehicle traffic. This is a school that has been needed for the past 15 years.

Mid-video, the NIMBY actually says with a straight face: “It would be a shame to build the school [bigger] in anticipation” [of a growing Vancouver population, steps from Broadway etc.] Parents with kids stacked in portables would like a word.

Tonight, it was "Whose Lineage is it Anyway", improvisational Shakespeare by Vancouver's Spontaneous Shakespeare Company on the last day of the Vancouver Fringe Festival. #theatre #improv #TheatreYVR #YVRArts #VancouverFringe

Scenes from tonight's Bike the Night! @wearehub.bsky.social @hubvancouverubc.bsky.social #bikeyvr

One advocacy ride down (Bring back the Stanley Park Bike Lane!), one fun family advocacy ride to come (Bike the Night). #bikeyvr

But... but... certain politicians are telling us that things have never been worse! Rampant crime everywhere! 😒

There's a ride today in support of cycling in Stanley Park, hosted by @tomdigby1.bsky.social and @ptfry.bsky.social . 2pm, meet at the Park Board office at 2099 Beach Ave. SPLoop after speeching. Treat it as a warm-up ride for Bike the Night (starts at 5pm, first ride at 6:30pm) #bikeyvr

"In DC a pilot (banning right turn on red) at 74 intersections led to a 92% reduction in failure-to-yield incidents and a 97% drop in vehicle conflicts" Why cities like DC, Raleigh, Ann Arbor, Cambridge & Seattle are rethinking right turn on red @schlthss.bsky.social tooledesign.com/insights/202...

Heads up, Vancouver. 2x CF-18 low level pass(es?) over Stanley Park tomorrow, 1pm. dailyhive.com/vancouver/fi...

Another street devastated after being closed to cars.

CORRECTION: Huge events are OPENING UP Metro Vancouver roads this weekend to people from all segments of our society.
