Hootsuite dropped an ICE contract in 2020 over backlash. Apparently now they no longer care. AND they're a a Canadian company!! Trash.

The North Shore mountains were so impressive this afternoon as I rode along the Ontario Street Bikeway.

Apparently SW Marine Drive between Knight & Oak Street in #Vancouver is a 60km/h zone. Even in the fog! Who knew. @cityofvancouver.bsky.social @theicbc.bsky.social #sarcasm.
