@nicoslobinsky @PuShFestival Shameful of Push to silence meaningful conversation through art.

I am very concerned with @PuShFestival's decision, and you should be too if you support the arts, and the debate of ideas. The Festival is going to have to win back the trust of those who praised their original decision to continue with their presentation of The Runner 6/6

Today @PuShFestival made the news for capitulating to artistic blackmail and cancelling the award-winning Canadian-made play #TheRunner. I find the festival's decision disappointing. Earlier this week, I reached out to the PuSh hoping to engage in.. 1/6 pushfestival.ca/joint-statemen…

Ballet BC's one-of-a-kind gala, MOMENTUM, returns to Vancouver’s Rocky Mountaineer Station on Saturday, June 24! The evening will feature all-new performances, live music, exquisite cuisine, and more exciting surprises. We hope to see you there! balletbc.com/momentum

At the end of May, we welcomed nearly 1000 of you into our new home on Granville Island in celebration of its official opening! Thank you to everyone who joined us to commemorate this remarkable milestone for Ballet BC.

@JuddApatow If they mean greatest scumbag of all time then yes.

@uytaelee @CitizenYan Hey @CBCVancouver Why whitewash this important detail?

Also a fun fact that CBC wouldn't let me publish - one of Shaughnessy's mansions (now Canuck's Place) was once the headquarters of Canada's Ku Klux Klan 🙃

Shaughnessy's heritage policies encourage hedges and gates to be built around its historic mansions and limits traffic in the area. What's the point in protecting heritage if we hide it from public view?

Dance review: @BalletBC adeptly shifts moods from dark eco horror to playful rebellion against conformity at HORIZON/S — continues tonight at the Queen E. @Vancivictheatre createastir.ca/articles/balle…

@AmanLoodu The old Honda dealership is being redeveloped. The new building should include a public parkade to make it easier for people to walk onto the island. That and cars should be restricted from the island except for vehicles serving the local businesses.

Surely we can design a better way to get people into Granville island

@theVHEC @coasthotels 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

A wow experience! Thank you to the wonderful folks @coasthotels who raised funds via their 20th Annual Coast Hotels Shuhachi Naito Golf Classic in July. We received a $20,000 cheque. Your support warms our hearts & inspires us to make even more impact. #grateful #givingback #golf

@christineeboyle They clearly appreciate how busy you are!

My parents just sent an email to my sisters and I confirming the time and location for family Christmas dinner. 😂😭😂

@JewishVancouver @eshanken @vttschool Beeeeeautiful!

That door tho! Yesterday @eshanken joined @vttschool's Emily Greenberg at the ribbon cutting of the restoration of VTT's original door as part of their latest enhancements - which also includes security fence upgrades.

@ianhanomansing You’re sadistic in the best kind of way!

A gentle warning for the fake "Visa security" people: if you call me when I'm doing boring chores at home, I will invent hapless characters, to keep you on the line as long as possible. Current record: 35 mins. (A weird "hobby", I realize, but kind of fun.)

@AmigoJor motorcycles and muscle cars too while you're at it, please!

There’s a growing movement of people who recognize we not only need to build more homes, but that they must be high quality & lovely as well. We can do both, if only common sense is legalized Join us, we don’t bite! We just want everyone to have a lovely neighborhood to live in!

@michaelasachs @bcndp @jjhorgan Thanks for the call! Way better to discuss in person than over this digital telegraph machine. You're a mensch.

@MSchwartz6 @bcndp @jjhorgan Kinda surprised with your response, it’s a little condescending to be honest.I know how government works and have actually been asked to run multiple times… the issue is that you also are voting for the party and the leaders vision.

Not sure if I’m alone in this belief but, when @bcndp choose their next leader (becoming the defacto Premier), I feel they should call an election. The mandate was given to @jjhorgan… they need to establish that the new Premier will get the mandate from the voters #bcpoli

@ICromwell4Van If only we had someone with a mind so well-tuned to rigorous scientific analysis! Where oh where could we find such a person and persuade them to run for council!? 🧐

There's been a lot of confusion about what the scientific evidence says about the proposed housing at 8th/Arbutus. I tried to get to the bottom of the claims to see if I could make sense of it all (Thread) #vanpoli

@vb_jens I'm sure the cool air is nice, but the craving for oreos these vents elicit would be torture while sitting through a lecture.

At the Urban Law conference at UBC, can’t help but notice the new Law building (built around 2010) has ventilation vents built in under every seat that pushes out fresh air. 👍👍👍

@michlschwrtz Two Michael Schwartzes agree.

The US doesn’t have nearly enough plazas
