People who didn't live through that 98-99 team will never know what it was like to sit through game after game of Mike Keenan chewing on ice chips behind the bench for the first half of that season. #Canucks

@jabo_vancouver I went back to bed, and woke up hoping it was a bad dream. Nope. Damn.

The only positive to come out of this game is it is still only 8am. I am going back to bed. Goodnight.

@jabo_vancouver "He'll play on crutches!" Talking about Trevor Linden after Game 6 SCF 1994. BTW f*ck Messier.

Where do you begin with Jim Robson? So many of our lives, childhoods were made better just by hearing his voice. #Canucks nation is that much less now that he has passed. Gone but certainly never forgotten. #RIP 😢

@AmyTrask @MeanJoeSteele Toughness with style! I would love to negotiate like her! And hi Amy! #princessofdarkness

Me - on game day - thank you @MeanJoeSteele - and if you're gonna be yelling at an official, nice to do it with pearl earrings.

Seattle through and through‼️

@mortimer_1 If workers can show they can be just as (or more) productive without hours of commute and other costs, with benefits of easing traffic congestion and emissions, why shouldn't that continue? The trope of the spoiled govt employee is a bit overdone.

Any worker complaining about whether they have to return to office should read their employment agreements. And if they don’t like it, they are more than free to find another job. Seems like a simple solution if they are so unhappy.

@MarksGonePublic No class. Where are the iconic Roots outfits?

Lululemon makes me laugh. They dressed our Canadian athletes in clown clothing so they could go viral. Marketing Bastards #Olympics 🇨🇦

@WeAreInvictus I was there as a volunteer. The triumph of each of those athletes just to be there was awe inspiring! 💛🖤

One year on from the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025, one thing stands out above all else. The smiling faces of the competitors. The pride of friends and families. Lives saved and changed for the better through sport, community, and shared experience. A year later, those moments still remind us why the #InvictusGames matter - and the impact they continue to have long after the closing ceremony. #IAMHere

@KristinRaworth I'm the daughter of a cancer survivor, and have seen the impact of "successful" treatment. I wish you continued health, and best of luck in your job search.

Today is #WorldCancerDay . I am a cancer survivor but the impacts of treatment have robbed me of a lot, including ever being able to have children. Six months ago cancer robbed me of my father. I pray every day a cure will be found and this disease won’t rob anyone else.

@jabo_vancouver From early days at SCTV to Schitt's Creek, I loved her!

I am absolutely gutted to see that Catherine O'Hara has passed away. A Canadian icon. A fantastic actress. Let's hope she has been reunited with John Candy and they are doing their greatest improv. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

46 years ago today Canada saved 6 American diplomats in Iran.

@jabo_vancouver And then she praised the 12's and deferred to the football folks. Great owner!

How often have you heard the name Jody Allen? That's what great owners do. They hire the best people and get out of the way and let them do their jobs. The only time you see them is when they are on stage to accept the hardware. #Seahawks

@jabo_vancouver Absolutely undisciplined. Shut your mouth and play between the whistles.

Speechless for what Woolen did. If they lose this game, he needs to be sent packing tomorrow. #Seahawks

"They opposed republicanism and what they called American domination." "They decided to build a Canada here. First, foremost, and always." "I say in this Canada, one and undivided, a Canadian I was born, a Canadian I will die."

Canada’s response on 9/11 became one of the most remarkable civilian‑led humanitarian efforts in modern history. When the United States closed its airspace after the attacks, Transport Canada immediately activated Operation Yellow Ribbon, directing incoming international flights away from potential US targets and safely onto Canadian runways. Airports in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and British Columbia suddenly became global crossroads, receiving aircraft that had been mid‑ocean only minutes earlier. Gander alone took in thirty‑eight planes carrying more than six thousand passengers and crew, a staggering number for a town of barely ten thousand people. What followed was an extraordinary display of community action. More than two hundred diverted flights brought over thirty thousand stranded travelers into Canada within hours. Schools, churches, gyms, and community centers were transformed into temporary shelters. Local bus drivers, who had been on strike, ended their walkout on the spot to help transport passengers. Pharmacies filled prescriptions for free, restaurants cooked nonstop, and families opened their homes to complete strangers. In Gander, Lewisporte, Halifax, Vancouver, and dozens of smaller towns, Canadians improvised a nationwide hospitality network that lasted for days. The impact of Operation Yellow Ribbon went far beyond logistics. Many passengers later described it as the moment they regained a sense of safety and humanity after the terror of 9/11. The kindness they received became the basis for lifelong friendships, annual reunions, and even charitable foundations.

@EliMcCann Paging @AmyTrask!

I placed a cheese stick on my child's highchair and then turned around to pick up the kid to put him in the highchair and by the time I turned back around the cheese stick was gone and we cannot figure out where it went.

@jabo_vancouver Happy New Year Brendan!

Happy New Year! I love you all!

@MarksGonePublic Happy New Year Mark

Look at the MOON Right NOW. #HappyNewYear :) Stepped outside to return some New Year’s shouts to the neighbours and looked up. That ring around the moon is a 22° lunar halo. It forms when moonlight passes through tiny hexagonal ice crystals in high, thin cirrus clouds. The light bends at a fixed angle, creating a perfect circle around the moon. Cold air, calm night, just the right conditions. #MoonHalo #NightSky #NewYears The ice crystals are hexagonal. When moonlight enters one face of the crystal and exits another, it bends (refracts) by a minimum angle of ~22 degrees. That angle is fixed by: the 60° internal angles of a hexagon the refractive index of ice Light can bend more than 22°, but not less, so the brightness piles up right there, forming a sharp ring. That’s why: it’s always a circle it’s always the same size and it’s called a 22° halo, not 21 or 25 Physics doing its thing, quietly, at midnight.
