Today is World Bee Day.
There are around 20,000 species of bees in the world, yet honey bees gets most of the fanfare.
Here’s to the sweat bees, the leafcutter bees, the mason bees, the longhorn bees, the bumble bees, the carpenter bees, the squash bees, and all the rest of our unsung bee heroes!

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.
