For a Mayor that has talked so much about getting Vancouver's "swagger back" and shaking the no fun city moniker, it's sad to see no fan zone or tay-gating opportunity. Traffic pattern changes all seem to be about accommodating car pickups and drop offs.

We reversed 6 overdoses yesterday.

Biden should go all out on climate for the next 75 days. Declare a climate emergency. Get all the IRA money out the door. Permit new transmission lines. Stop new LNG exports. Ban drilling on public lands. Make a mountain of progress for Trump to try and undo.

By the Numbers: What are the chances B.C.'s election results could change after the final count? chadskelton.com/2024/10/by-num… #bcpoli @vb_jens @richardzussman @katiederosayyj @VaughnPalmer @RobShaw_BC @keithbaldrey

...annnddd it didn't fit. Well, I was able to make it work with holding the back of the bike 3 ft in the air. Pretty disappointing for the 2nd busiest transit station in the region

Quiet Sunday on the trains seemed like a good time to test out SkyTrain elevator at Commercial - Broadway. @TransLink Moment of truth...

I came from a Communist country, and the only people who had houses and wealth like this were very high-ranking members of the Communist party itself. What is Chip trying to tell us?

@uglyblender Oh is this Chip or David Cheriton?

pilgrimage to the stupidest place on earth

@IRPlawyer Disturbing to see people commending the security guard in a video that shows no shoplifting, only face shots and the person being dragged. A provocative few seconds of video. Little context. This is social media in its purest most toxic form.

This is assault.

If there are going to be climate-justified subsidies for owning electric cars, there should be subsidies for not owning cars at all.

@graciemacdonal9 @KahlonRav Ok sure but how do they get a downpayment if they don't get huge wack of cash from family?

@KahlonRav People who can afford those rents qualify for a mortgage.

We need to find innovative ways to get housing online. Housing hub gives loans for projects at Gov rates in return for savings to go some below market units. All loans paid back with interest. Rents: Studio $1,223 1 br $1,429 2 br $1,969 3 br $2,395 theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/va…

@Andercot Vexing plot twist Andrew! I fear you've been disinformed. Open borders? Child abuse? DT, a "patriot"? Keep feeding me informed physics tweets 🙏 🥄🌌

@jwhiteyvr Apparently all the rage here in the 20s and 30s evelazarus.com/vancouvers-mon…

Really feels like a waste of staff time and distraction from addressing jobs/housing creation across the vast majority of areas not impacted by view cones. Sure, relax some, but It would be incredibly disappointing to largely privatize what have been protected public views.

@RhiFaux @CityofVancouver @christineeboyle @PtFry @AdrianeCarr @PeterMeiszner @LisaDominato @rebeccaleebligh @LennyNanZhou @MikeKlassen @VisionZeroYVR Thanks for your advocacy Rhi. Based on my daily travels around east van, it definitely feels like things have gotten more reckless on the roads. My favourite is the no signal right turn on red. Feels like those that signal are in the minority.

@christineeboyle Would love to replace our gas stove. I had thought there may be some grants/rebates for this but can't seem to find any. Cc @SwitchItUpBC @bchydro . @FortisBC will you take it?

Well this is concerning. 😮‍💨👀 "Gas stoves in several #Vancouver, BC, homes have been found to produce the most toxic benzene emissions of 17 North American cities analyzed." I'm going to ask City Staff & VCH why this is, and what can be done. #VanPoli vancouverisawesome.com/highlights/van…

We’re increasing the max rebate cap on heat pumps from $9,500 to $16,000 for eligible, income qualified British Columbians – bringing affordable, efficient, clean heating to people who need it most… AND we’ll top Northern folks up to another $3,000. shorturl.at/tBER0 (2/2)

@PeterMeiszner @gastown Appreciate the pilot though confused with how you can support advancing this while also actively rolling back/uninstalling (at significant cost) other active travel initiatives that have contributed to a safe, vibrant and fun community?

“Well-designed car-free streets are the norm in great cities all over the world,” said ABC Councillor Peter Meiszner. “Vancouverites are craving spaces where they can enjoy a meal or drink on a patio, or walk and shop in a fun, vibrant, car-free environment.” #vanpoli @gastown

This would be easier to take had @Vote4ABC supported a car-free family-friendly option to get west by bike, like a dedicated bike lane on Broadway.

@TorranceCoste @TransLink 😂 yup. It's as if it was made in Jordan P*tersons laboratory for the sole purpose of enraging and generating clown face emojis

@_DanWard @TransLink Christ’s testicles they really went and found a course of action that would make the anti-woke dorks and the rest of us both be like wtf and then they took it lol

Well @TransLink, you really served one up for the "anti-woke" police with this one
