The Rogers and Shaw merger has been approved? This will be use in the definition of monopolies. What does our @CompBureau even do? #nomerger #rogers

Deleting this app for a while. Bye!

I’m not fully confident the public understands that we are short THOUSANDS of teachers in #BCPoli. Schools are short teachers on call daily, sometimes 5+ teachers per school in a single day. There are “teachers” teaching with NO experience or training this is a big issue. #bced

Sometimes I abandon sewing projects I've lost interest in or don't like the way they're turning out. So in Textiles Studies I encourage but don't require students to finish their projects. I assess process not product. #HomeEconomics #bced

@helenbnichols My grandmother used to do this for us on Vancouver Island. She was descended from Mennonites.

Please tell me someone else out there has a memory of being at a birthday party in the 80s where the cake had coins baked into it… my husband says he’s never heard of this (but I’m sure I saw the money cake at least once!) Was this an Ontario thing? A figment of my imagination?

I came out in stages, as a bi teen and then a gay adult. None of it was easy or well-received. I'm happy and well-adjusted now, but not everyone has a coming out story they want to share and no one owes you there's. #NationalComingOutDay

So let me get this straight: the Vancouver Food Bank has to pay over $100,000 in annual property taxes but elite, exclusive private schools with the sweeping country-club-like lawns don’t pay anything? That’s messed up. #vanpoli #bcpoli #bced

@goodjobmaya Mark Harmon / Susanne Vega, I don't know how to read that.

Reading national treasure @BillyRayB on my morning commute

@j_mcelroy I think it's funny that La Glace is the top. Even comparing your descriptions, Dolce Amore sounds way better (and it is).

This summer I went to every ice cream place in Vancouver and ranked them all. Here is the final list. justinmcelroy.com/2022/09/28/the…

Created an open playlist for my Textiles class so they could choose music while they work...it's all Taylor Swift. T-Swift all class every day.

A thread on the Families Code and referendum in Cuba. This is a comprehensive piece of legislation, widely described as being one of the most progressive in the world.

Cuba is voting on the most progressive Family Code in the world & over half the population participated in its drafting. Italy is electing a neo-fascist government with members of the Mussolini family. Guess which country our media calls democratic and which is authoritarian.

Today in Vancouver. Support Iranian people fighting for their own liberation. No war. No western intervention #MahsaAmini #JinaAmini #MahsaAmini #iran #IranProtests #IranProtests2022

@Nnedi Then never look into Japanese apartment showers

These hotel showers where the water just spills on the floor…wtf are they about? I detest them so much. I have only seen them in European countries.

"Vegan leather" is usually just plastic FYI. Petroleum product.

@deathbybadger My favourite is hostile opening hours ...gay bars also have a lot of standing around

it haunts me

@wyvernfriend As a Home Economics teacher, I would caution you about the sewing machine. We get our whole set serviced every year and there are usually 2 or 3 that need full repairs. That's with students who are being taught how to use them. Something to keep in mind

If you were to design a Maker Space in a library what would you put in it? 3D printer? Sewing Machine? Lego? Give me your wishes.

@lifelonglit Interested in this too. As someone with hypermobility disorder, sitting on the floor is/was very awkward for me and made it difficult for me to sit still. Wondering what kinds of accommodations are made for students who can't sit on the floor

Lower primary teachers: Please help me understand why you would have children sit on the floor for lessons. Not being facetious; genuinely curious about floor time.
