me, to my 7yo: “you look so beautiful today.” her: “and I have an extraordinary brain.”

So does this mean Taylor’s not getting engaged anymore?

@fabulavancouver Let me know next time you’re in town! We’ll have you for a visit!

I was in Chilliwack in the pre-Christmas season and, I've gotta say, I quite liked it. Beautiful scenery in the countryside. Reasonably healthy historic main street (with two fabulous bookstores). And a very cute area built like an English mews just off the main intersection.

@MomCampLife I asked for someone in charge to call me back. At least it is worth a conversation.

@adaslivinski Can you report them?!

On the phone with @TELUS troubleshooting my home security - rep says “is there anyone there who can help you, like a man.” How is this an ok thing to say?!

@melissa_godbout @TELUS Nope. Tried to explain why I needed a man to climb a ladder. Truly a horrible experience.

@adaslivinski @TELUS Wow. Did they immediately start back pedaling?

Call was on speakerphone and both of my daughters heard. I’m appalled.

When I said “excuse me?” Rep said “it’s not a girl thing to do.”

What has changed in this #bcelxn? All the sudden “conservative” isn’t a word you say in hushed tones. For many people I talked to this was the first time they’ve ever voted conservative - and their reason was they felt they had no other option. #bcpoli

What exactly is @saveonfoods promoting?

.@vanmag_com Power 50 event was one of the absolute best nights of celebration of those who make our city great. Thank you @RyanDBenn for bringing your energy and vision and for trusting @TalkShopMedia to power the night.

And while we’re at it, S2IZFA for @Wealthsimple - best for investing and long term planning IMO!

For those of us who are household budget conscious (and let’s be honest - who isn’t right now) and mourning the loss of Mint, @GetKoho is a GREAT alternative. They’ve added in a bucket budget option that I’m really excited about. NG7KC4KN is my promo code!

my girl @ainscruickshank takes home the Webster for her story on invasive European green crabs. She asks "what if we ate them instead" #soproud @JackWebsterFdn thenarwhal.ca/invasive-europ…

Catch @TalkShopMedia at @SAASNORTH this week! If you’re here make sure to come say hi!

8yo - playing charades, gets “Curious George” starts acting out George Costanza.

I thought we weren’t gonna do daylight savings anymore.

Let’s Talk Vancouver w/ @KenSimCity @addyinvest @TalkShopMedia

“How can Google say, ‘we’ll give you all the worlds information, but we don’t have the news? That’s like cutting off a limb.” @Hermida

“One of the biggest lessons that I try to give to our staff is ‘be open, be agile.” @DailyHive’s @darcynews on how to pivot re: C-18

“Regardless of the platform, regardless of where it’s going to go, what kind of journalism do we want to do?” @BhupinderHundal on where @globalnews is focusing in light of C-18 @TalkShopMedia
