This was a fun segment to work on. A bunch of kids from Vancouver’s School of Rock got to play Sum 41 songs WITH the band’s drummer. I had the chance to go see it. The kids were very excited!

If you’re a senior, pregnant, have a disability, you can get priority access for voting. If you don’t see the sign for it, ask a staffer. #vanpoli

Hello Vancouver quadrant of the internet: anyone know where the shortest voting lineups are right now? Strathcona is about an hour or less. Kits is still 2 hours. Champlain Heights is not busy but far for many. Anyone have any other info? #vanpoli #byelection
Holy by-election voter turnout, Vancouver!
A bigger turnout at my polling station than I've EVER seen here in 20+ yrs of general civic, BC & federal elections. Possibly a record.
A @COPEVancouver organizer was in the line so I got a chance to congratulate them on a perfect campaign #vanpoli

Judge orders sweeping rehiring of fired workers at 18 federal agencies
The order by U.S. District Judge James Bredar was even more broad than a similar ruling earlier in the day from a different federal judge.

In this current harsh world, let's warm a few hearts remembering the events of 7-8 March 1991, when the 90,000 people of Brindisi woke up to find 25,000 Albanians roaming the streets of their town. For perspective, that's roughly equivalent to 25k people suddenly landing in Hastings [Thread] >> 1
