WINNIPEG JETS!!!

How well is congestion pricing doing? Very.

Vancouver's by-election was poorly organized with 1/2 the locations & 800% less staff than 2017. As a result there's been extremely long lines. I wrote a quick post about the consequences of this for access & how considering disabled people in design prevents this. open.substack.com/pub/mssineno...

Currently in line at the 3rd voting place I’ve been to today. I couldn’t wait the 1-2 hours earlier so didn’t, but also not sure I’m going to be able to wait long enough to vote right now. It’s beyond infuriating. Completely unacceptable. #vanpoli

I've cracked the code of why byelection lineups are so long in Vancouver today. It's not just a turnout question. Compared to the 2017 byelection, the city decreased the number of election workers by EIGHTY PERCENT. From 1,250 in 2017 to 250 this time around. This was a staff recommendation.

It never occurred to me that I wouldn’t be able to vote in Vancouver’s by-election, but after trying twice for a total of 2.5 hours of my time, it looks like it’s not going to happen. I’m really frustrated and mad.

Pearson talks to five new foundation leaders about the profound changes underway: @miraoreck.bsky.social Arti Freeman, Jane Rabinowicz, Michelle LeDonne and @nadiaduguay.bsky.social #philanthropy #funding #leadership

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Some members of a Vancouver synagogue say they have questions for when Pierre Poilievre visits their community Sunday. But while Poilievre will make a speech and have a photo op, questions won’t be allowed.

This is really important work on school exclusion from BC's ombudsperson. I encourage anyone impacted to fill it out- this kind of exclusion often goes unreported. We experienced this with our son, largely due to a lack of resources to support him. #bcpoli #bced bcombudsperson.ca/school-exclu...
