I'm not sure if there's a #SidewalkStamp #Vancouver gang here but today I walked on a sidewalk made in 1909. At Broughton and Burnaby.

If you think Carney 'has this nailed' and so there is no need to vote, please reconsider. Every vote counts so please don't hand this to the Cons. #CdnPoli

1/ You’ve heard that Pope Francis wished to be buried not in St Peters but in a church several miles to the east: the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. There are many notable things about this church -- but I want to talk about an intriguing work of art with a surprising #science angle... 🧵 (cont’d)

This is wonderful. Please forward to any Americans who think Canadians have any interest in becoming the 51st state. ❤️🇨🇦
It seems a lot of Americans can't conceive of why Canadians are not so eager to join the Union.
I'll give you a few reasons:
- We love our country, just like you love yours. Things can always be better, but this will always be our home and native land.

This is kind of terrible: Colin Firth for clickbait, calling sweaters ugly, trying to be seasonal although that has nothing to do with anything. Also they could have done the experiment with something other than a nylon cord. But at least they didn't mention grandmothers! #knitting
