Apple Music’s autoplay feature has played “Chelsea Dagger” twice in as many weeks on my iPhone. This is the biggest reassurance I’ve ever had Apple is not snooping through my info across other apps to glean personal interests.

Spoke about latest B.C. jobs numbers on Global News right after they were released early today. I took a deeper look and things are not as good as they appear on the surface. Big losses for full-time employment, lower participation rates skewing unemployment rate, etc. www.biv.com/news/economy...

It's not every day a B.C. company makes a US$1B acquisition.
Clio did today, in a deal that shows strength for the city's tech cluster, particularly software and services.

The Abbotsford #Canucks are Calder Cup champions!
The first time in the history of the Vancovuer Canucks franchise that their AHL affiliate has won the Calder Cup and the first Canucks championship since they won the WHL's Lester Patrick Cup in 1970.

Excellent deep dive into Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim’s curious obsession with bitcoin. Breaks it down for those who might not understand cryptocurrencies and why it’s a no-go for municipal governments in B.C.

Just spoke on @globalnews.ca a few moments ago about the latest B.C. jobs numbers. Nothing much to celebrate other than the province didn’t lose jobs when still so many question marks were hovering around tariffs. Real litmus test comes in next month’s StatCan data.

14-year BIV vet Nelson Bennett retires this week. The resources beat is one of the toughest to cover, but he has always managed to distill incredibly complex issues into something everyone could understand. I’ll miss his ability to rattle off story ideas and share yarns about life as a rock drummer.
