Changed pads on my front Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes. Brakes originally installed January & pad replacement was months overdue. Been riding on back canti brakes alone for weeks! Hope I haven't screwed up pad replacement. My 1st time & I found it quite finicky. #Vancouver #homeless #bike

Guess what? Reuseable flameless catalytic hand warmers (from my childhood) are still a thing! Worn on a cord round the neck under your outerwear they effectively warm your core & thus your limbs. Zippo model lasts 12hrs per lighter fluid fill. ❤️ to buy them for all my #Vancouver #homeless peers!

From potholes, parks, and missed garbage pick up. Vancouver deserves better.
Quality city upkeep and great city services start with front-line workers.
On day one a Vancouver Liberal govt will requisition 400 new front-line CUPE workers to get things back on track.

Whether you think they are ghouls or just have poor judgment or somewhere in between, ABC needs to be voted out.

Watching the film "House of Dynamite" I noticed all the time spent talking on cell phones. Then I noticed sameness of the phones. Over first 2/3rds of film everyone seems to use the same model iPhone (16?) except FLOTUS, who has a satellite phone. POTUS' iPhone has presidential seal on bump case.

If things are so desperate that we must slash city expenses by $120M as Mayor Sim says then #Vancouver clearly cannot afford costly luxury of hosting the FIFA World Cup!

Some breaking news: in a special Vancouver Police Board meeting only announced over the weekend, the police board has requested a $50 million increase to their budget for 2026.
This comes as other departments across the city are trying to cut staff to ensure a property tax freeze for next year.
