Fun to hang out again with #Canucks legend Trevor Linden, though we didn't work out together as we did pre-pandemic.
We just spoke about his business. Watch for coverage of that later this year in a magazine and in @BIVnews

Exciting to see such a huge night for Vancouver soccer —
MLS’ Vancouver Whitecaps incredibly playing the lower Canadian Premier League’s Vancouver FC in a competitive Voyageurs Cup final.
Great win for the ‘Caps means inclusion in other tournaments.

One question is whether Vancouver Centre residents will vote in someone who in this next term could pass William Anderson Black and become the oldest MP to ever sit in the House of Commons.
You can’t say Hedy is in it for the pension.

Trade tasting happened this afternoon for the Vancouver International Wine Festival.
U.S. is the theme region this year.
News is that France has agreed to be the #VIWF host/theme region next year, slightly later than usual, in March, just before spring break.

Congrats to the Vancouver International Wine Festival, which has been running since 1979 and only missed one year, during the pandemic.
“The 46th,” festival director Harry Hertscheg just said. “Canada’s premier wine show… 43 events.”
Launch event taking place now.

Thanks for reading. The rationale for reinstating visas was always in the story. I just added a sentence to say Quebec wanted the reinstatement. I can’t find a US official demanding the reinstatement, as you suggest.

First time to Nusa Lembongan, a relatively quiet fishing and tourist island, where I just watched the sun set like a ball over southern Bali.
