jon, that's a good statement
gives me a lot to think about, and saying so allows me to flatter the audience (you) without saying anything of substance while i delay, until i think of a way to link this to one of the five approved talking points that i've been instructed to repeat

Justin, as someone who routinely interviews people, i'd love you to do a story/video/snippet or something about how PR education has taught EVERYONE to begin absolutely any response with, "That's a good question." Even five years ago we didn't hear that.

A combined 26-save shutout for Maschmeyer and Fryer, and the #Goldeneyes win their first ever preseason game 3-0 over the Torrent. Tomorrow a rematch to close things out. #PWHL

very impressed by COPE Councillor Orr for reporting summaries of every speaker for this budget, and actually staying until the end unlike most ABC councillors
my crude count is there were less than 10 in favour, roughly 260 opposed, with around 330 more speakers to go.

269: in favour. Tune out noise if fear mongers who say sky is falling. This is not drastic cuts to budget. Wants full budget transparency. Heard about services but don’t know what a necessary sevice is. Scope creep.

It proposes a property tax freeze, a 10% increase to the Police Services budget, a 6% increase to Fire/Rescue Services, and lots of other cuts, including Arts & Culture, Planning & Sustainability, and much more.
Full report here.

running for mayor of translink (a real position) to make this a felony
and if "the courts" tell me that's illegal, i will go on all of the buses (which, as mayor of translink, i now own) with a megaphone and shout at people doing this
this is a shitpost but also i could get elected on this

Nothing is more indicative of why I don’t have any faith in society, nor that people are generally in any way aware of the impact of their actions on others, than people listening to things on their phone on public transit WITHOUT HEADPHONES.

ideally adults on Halloween should give out saran-wrapped rice krispie squares, small clear plastic bags of ju jubes, and similar items that you know full well the parents will confiscate.
It's a way for children to learn things.

imo adults at the door should be as annoying as possible on Halloween.
- Picking the "trick" option to call their bluff
- Many time wasting questions about the costumes
- Candy corn or similar tier treats
It builds character.

The Cowichan Tribes debate is quickly becoming an international culture war issue, which means any attempt by someone to try and clarify facts, timelines or arguments by the people materially involved in the actual discussion will not matter in slightest.
But literally none of this is correct.

vancouver planning in the 21st century is developers and the city patting themselves on the back for a sustainable mixed-used community that pays homage to the industrial past while using modern best practices where a two bedroom condo costs a million dollars and there are no schools
cool, awesome, inspiring, just one question where are the schools or buses or community centres

Absolutely disgusted by the federal jobs minister Patty Hajdu ordering Air Canada flight attendants back to work.
I'm so disgusted with how many unions have been ordered back to work in the past year or two in Canada.
I really hope people remember this in the next election.

Will Hockey Canada publish their internal report now? Their internal investigation was the main impetus for any of this to become public knowledge. Hockey Canada settled with EM out of court before London police even reopened the criminal investigation. This is so much more than the criminal trial!
And when they try to restart their careers in a few weeks, remember, they admitted what they did, they just didnt think they should be punished for it
