There is so much gold in this piece Josh. You are the storyteller we need now, with your ability to bring all the pieces together in such a relatable way. Thank you for sharing your gift to add humour to all of… this.

As always, Josh is brilliant. His gift for weaving the threads of a story together shines in this. And I usually avoid all things written or spoken by the current president, but I would listen to every tweet if Josh would read them aloud.

Always a clear sign of a sincere apology when it starts out as an “unreserved apology”, that is then qualified… sigh.

This plan for redevelopment of the former NFB headquarters sounds promising. I’m glad they’ve included below market housing and creative and cultural space.

I’m still so sad to see him leaving as our MP, but I’m also looking forward to what he will do next in our community. Whatever it is, we can be sure it’ll be for the benefit of all.

So true! That either needs to become a 4-way stop or add a light. Such an unsafe intersection.

Is May 28 the last of this series?

I came to the comments for this. Why in the world didn’t everyone in the crowd also speaking out come together? United we stand. Divided we fall.

I’m heartbroken to lose Peter as our representative. And now it’s time to see if our new inexperienced Liberal MP understands the shoes he has to fill and how much he needs to show up for New West.

#NewWest has enjoyed the dedication of Peter Julian for 20 yrs. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to speak for us in Parliament. I want to ensure the Liberals form government, not the Conservatives, but in our riding we need to vote local to send the best candidate back to Ottawa. Peter Julian.

The Landmark Cinema has done community screenings in the past… not sure if it’s something they’re still interested in, but might be worth an ask. The City also used to screen movies outside in Queens Park, maybe that projector and screen are still kicking around somewhere.

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again

Agreed! I’ve been reading about the trade surplus the US actually has with Canada in the service industry. That’s one that will be harder for us to break, but if we could make a dent it could make a difference. Unfortunately it’s a much harder area for us to make personal purchasing changes.

Maybe he’ll give up some of his tee times to run the Kennedy centre… into the ground.

I love when the mountains are out.

My first brioche project is off the needles. I definitely knit many rows more than twice, but it was a great learning experience and I love the results! Pattern: Faux Braid Brioche Scarf by Mare Allison on Ravelry. Lighter yarn is from All For Yarn, Coquitlam, BC. #knitting #brioche

It is important to take a step back (and up) from time to time to appreciate that it is awfully beautiful here. Despite all our challenges there’s nowhere else I’d rather live.

This might get us through February.

Love the paw lick at the end. “My work here is done…”

It’s a brilliant memo and the last line is the very best of passive aggressive business speak. ❤️

WHO DID THIS!

It’s painful how predictable they are.

Abstract cat here… nice to see you here Lord Sean and so glad to hear you all are safe and your home is okay.
