One of life’s big mysteries, the use of quotation marks on instructions.
We get that your boss gave you the copy, Lance, but why quote the first line instructions in the sign. (If you did, why not quote ALL of the instructions?!!) #grammar #punctuation #handwashing #hospital

What a huge loss. I envision a just and equitable world where Alice, Stella and Arley are thinking and writing great things together. www.cbc.ca/news/world/a...

The more US healthcare workers I talk to the more I feel that we 🇨🇦 must urgently ensure we are not relying on governance norms (not laws) as guardrails. Even mostly normal politicians in Canada can't be trusted with the power of the Notwithstanding Clause, and then there's Danielle Smith.

I propose a new version of murphy’s law that me and my #disabled friends can really relate to, let’s call it Gimpy’s law: as soon as you’ve seen the specialist, you waited months to see you will develop a new troubling symptom that you should tell them about the very next day.

Dear 🇨🇦dairy industry: what do you have against egg nog lovers? Have we hurt you somehow? Why do you give us eggnog three days before Thanksgiving and then take it away again until Christmas?

Thanks @bcgeu.bsky.social for all you do in the public service and also to one of you who helped scoop me back up and into my wheelchair when I bit it right in front of your picket line at Canada Place today. I barely even had a chance to see who it was. ❤️ #solidarity #kindness

@carnivalcruise.bsky.social so far your accessible stateroom on #carnivalencounter has been great but do you see any issues with putting life jackets on the highest shelf in the wheelchair accessible stateroom? 🤔🧐

Attention CIA, if you ever want to torture a migraineur to do what you want, trap them in a public bathroom with a 4 year old playing with the air hand dryer. 😥

Every day I see how people with spinal cord injuries re-learn their bodies & rebuild their lives. The community of peer support and information resources SCI BC offers is about lifting that load, helping us help each other to adjust, adapt and thrive. Help me fund our work: b.link/sci

I just took this survey about primary care in Canada. If you live in Canada, I hope you will too! www.ourcare.ca
What Primary Care Needs — OurCare
People across Canada have defined a new standard of primary care. Read the final report. Take the quiz. Become an advocate. Help make their vision a reality.

The OO leader has no reason to have an official residence, esp if their riding is Ottawa. The PM & GG have diplomatic roles & thus need official residences to host. Stornoway should become the PM residence henceforth & Sussex Drive should be renovated as guesthouse & OO can get a housing allowance.

Way to go @permobilamericas.bsky.social for the worst product recall on the SmartDrive SpeedController. The "field action portal" (form) requires a US Zip code. The toll free line is only for US customers. Permobil Canada doesn't deal with customers. My vendor hadn't heard of the recall!

2/2 We vacuumed it up and sealed it in & we are waiting for it to die among all of the dirt and dust in the cannister of our vacuum cleaner. It’s pretty hard to get a photo of it. Alas, it is still alive. It’s about an inch long & chonky. Advice pls #hornet #wasp #bc

A huge flying insect followed Tod in last night, and scared the shit out of the dog. It looks like a fluffy bumble bee attached to a hornet. It doesn’t look like an Asian #murderhornet, more like a European hornet. Interwebs say they aren’t known on #vancouverIsland. Any ideas? 1/2 #invasivespecies

I can't believe it's taken me this long to understand how Mandarin and Cantonese are related but totally different. They are more different than English is from Russian as spoken languages but share a written system bridges the languages, making it even more similar than English and German!

What are we doing, Nanaimo? I’m feeling pretty fraught - 3 way centre left split, an NDP incumbent and a former Green MP and a 3rd time Liberal candidate. @smartvoting.ca says vote Lib despite incumbent NDP, Lib & Greens matched 21-22%. How do they pick? /1 #canpoli #elxn2025

I just want @bioware.bsky.social and the Dragon Age Veilguard team that I loved it. I’m sorry no DLC will be released (I know there’s a cosmetics dlc for PC, that doesn’t count) and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for all your hard work. ❤️ #dragonageveilguard #dragonage #teamvarric
