The report going to the Park Board 'suggests' increasing the parking rate at Spanish Banks to $1.50/hr. That's been the rate for weeks. @CKNW @TriciaBarker49

Very excited to see @rickygervais this evening at the Hollywood Bowl. And anyone who takes issue with me being in the US can sod off. I flew a Canadian airline to a blue state to see a British genius.

How asking for info from the BC gov went from $0, to $10, to now an outrageous $280. For this, you can entirely thank the NDP gov and its slow-motion destruction of FOI. My latest in Glacier/Orca. buff.ly/3WNK3jO

Over the past few weeks many people have thanked me for speaking out about the Broadway Plan's negative impacts on quiet residential streets five blocks away from Broadway. They've also told me many friends have already decided to sell and move to Victoria. They are considering doing so too. vancouversun.com/opinion/column…

Holly joined me on the show @CKNW Friday to talk about George, her missing dog. She's offering up her Taylor Swift tickets to anyone who can help her find him and bring him home. He was last seen on the Matsqui Trail in Abbotsford two weeks ago.

@ParkBoard @CityofVancouver @CKNW Thank you for this update. I guess I misinterpreted ‘opened as planned’ as when I drove the entire length of the beach at 10:15am today the gates to at least three lots at Spanish Banks West were still locked.

@jillreports @CityofVancouver @CKNW Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Jill. This morning, all gates to the Spanish Banks parking lots were opened as planned, except for one in the western section. Our crews are on their way to open that section. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Hey @CityofVancouver and @ParkBoard it’s 10:20am on a Friday and all of the gates at the Spanish Banks parking lots are locked. The only vehicles getting in are ones that can hop the curb. Is this what the new pay parking model looks like? @CKNW

Looks like the gates are open now. The signs say the park opens at 7am.

NEW - BC Jewish community blasts @selinarobinson ouster from cabinet. “It is shameful that @Dave_Eby has bowed to pressure from a loud minority whose campaign to discredit MLA Robinson was centred in anti-Jewish bias and lacked the offer of grace they demand when others falter."

Interesting comments from the mayor. Except that the BC government does literally have the legal right to run roughshod on local governments.

Glad to be back with ⁦@jillreports⁩ ⁦@CKNW⁩ to discuss the ban on retractable leashes. Spoiler: I’m not a fan of this ban. Tune in today at 12:30. globalnews.ca/news/10064932/…

Well this is really positive news! I’ll be talking about this on @jillreports today at 12:07 Super positive to see this might actually happen. We need PAs. Now. news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2023H…
