@michellecyca@mcguirewood When I moved from Calgary, I was taken by surprise trying to make it up Oak from 6th to Broadway. THAT was a true test of winter driving skills.
A reality show where smug Canadians who live in cities east of the Rockies and make fun of Vancouver drivers have to get behind the wheel and navigate our unplowed slush/black ice-laden side streets.
@bcwestmind@cogno Also no corp pensions means retired senior homeowners on fixed incomes can't afford to cash out because, even a $1.6 mill property won't net them enough income to live on for the next 20 years. Old ladies have been renting out rooms for generations.
@cogno Obviously, yes. Houses are not for corporate profit.
I read a while back how older couples meet many travelers and it improves their social lives immensely. Mom and pops are ok, corporate Airbnbs are not and should be illegal.

@rochellepauls By comparison, ride San Francisco's MUNI for 1 day to see just how much capacity the 99B still has. LRT is a good compromise in my opinion. Works in a lot of other cities.
Floyd Norman became Disney's first Black cartoonist in 1957. He's still there at 86 with a stunning filmography behind him, including Sleeping Beauty, The Sword in the Stone, The Jungle Book, The Hunch Back of Notre Dame, Mulan, Toy Story II, and Monsters Inc. #BlackHistoryMonth
Posts falsely claim Canadian law enforcement reported over 100,000 trucks and millions of people were in Ottawa last weekend to protest vaccine mandates. The agencies never issued those estimates. @AP has the facts. apne.ws/BbSXoRz
Some social media posts have claimed that the number of truckers participating in the “Freedom Convoy” protesting a vaccine mandate in Canada is as many as 250,000, but available evidence suggests otherwise. bit.ly/3o4CFyT
All available evidence suggests that the so-called “freedom convoy” to protest COVID-19 vaccinations consists of a few thousand trucks, at most. bit.ly/3IKKjqm

@iamrachel Have you seen your smile?! Always lifts my spirits when I see your joyful smile. 😁 It's tough, but we will get through this and feel grounded again. ❤
Right now my spirit is at its lowest since the height of the pandemic and all of the normal things that usually make me happy aren't working. I am empty.
