New Town Bakery is a staple of Vancouver’s Chinatown, and for good reason.
This family-run small business has been serving some of the city’s best steamed buns for generations. Thanks to MP Chang and MP Fry for bringing me there this week.

BC gets rid of sick notes if you're off work for five or less days. Stay home when sick! The sick note was dumb to begin with and unecessarily forced sick people out of bed, into community and into doctor's offices. Sleep, rest and recover. news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...
New rules on sick notes eliminate unnecessary paperwork
Effective immediately, new rules limit when employers can ask for sick notes and will allow more time for health-care providers to spend with patients.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
