Not only is he The Worst President Ever, he's The Worst President Imaginable.

Question: Is it worth the risk? I changed vacation plans for this month because I didn't want to catch a border guard having a bad day. Heading to Mexico instead (and bypassing any U.S. airports). If I absolutely HAD to go, I'd definitely be using a burner flip phone.

I hope they've kept the old motel sign and will incorporate it into the design.

When people willingly tell you what type of person they are, listen.

Jam packed first session at #UBCM on Climate Change & Housing!

So much political grandstanding. What did they expect BC Ferries to do? There were ZERO Canadian shipyards who bid on the project. If BCF had gone its typical route (Euro shipyards) it would have cost hundreds of millions more. And what of the Atlantic ferries built in the same Chinese shipyard?

It should be possible to think two things: that political violence is horrible and it's terribly sad that a widow and two children are now living without their husband/father; AND that the person assassinated said terrible things that have created hatred and division in his country.

Also, blanket zoning avoids the problem of creating an artificial shortage of desirable property development opportunities, which can place upward speculative pressure on land values. Blanket zoning essentially creates an unlimited supply of potential building sites (within the relevant range).

Good grief! Putting more people in places that people really like to live? What an outrageous idea!

When planning for schools, and looking 20 years into the future, can we stop listening to NIMBYs who won't even be there in 20 years? And since when did a 4 storey building become "out of character" in a mid-rise neighbourhood? Yeesh!

Can you imagine the MAGA War Room (that term seems way too literal now) when they found out? "What?? Dammit! He's one of us?? I should have known that a lefty would never be able to make that shot from 200 yards!"

Is there another episode about the Tale of Two North Vancouvers?

Taking the word of a habitual liar at face value is the exact opposite of oversight.

Douglas Todd... (sigh)..🙄

I don't understand why solar PV panels aren't incentivized on all major commercial/industrial roof areas. Costco, warehouses, parkades, etc.

'It’s our pleasure': Small acts of kindness at B.C. Ferries soothe weary travellers Opinion: A very late night at Langdale ferry terminal turns into something special for passengers and crew alike.

BC Ferries is a lightning rod. But it can't be easy to run an operation with so many routes, ships, personnel, a lot of aging equipment and challenging weather. And when you read stories like this, it shows that this is an organization with a heart, as well. vancouversun.com/news/kindnes...

I think the impact of Trump's policies have to start inflicting pain on the MAGA base, who then need to connect the dots, for that collapse to occur.

Even if Trump is all over those files, will it really make a difference? Is there really A Bridge Too Far for MAGA when it comes to Trump? Convicted felon, adulterer, fraudster, sociopath, narcissist -- none of it matters. What's adding pedophile going to do?

Interesting. I use both a bicycle and my small motorcycle as my main modes of non-walking transportation, and my wife is always seeking clarification when I tell her "I'm off for a ride". So, I try to use specific terms for each by saying "I'm cycling" (bicycle) or "I'm riding" (motorcycle).

If it weren't so tragic, the entire story of this administration would make a hilarious comedy.

When I was a kid, one of my favourite reasons to go to the PNE was to view the Challenger Relief Map of the province.

There's no 'silver bullet'. We need multiplex zoning, with streamlined approval processes. We need standardized templates for pre-fabricated multiplex construction. We need more and faster non-market housing. More support for co-ops. More rental housing. More investment. All of it.

Everything he says is a lie.

But on the other hand, it would be quite impressive to see an aircraft carrier on a trailer being towed down Pennsylvania Avenue. 😜

I think they're afraid to change the policy, because they'll be outdoors again next year at the new amphitheatre.

Always an issue with PNE concerts -- the very tight (and apparently inflexible) time window.

Well, you've got Vancouver, then West Vancouver (which isn't really to the west of Vancouver), and North Vancouver (which is to the north, but there are two of them). And we used to have South Vancouver, but now it's just the south part of Vancouver, and then there's Vancouver Island.

I don't think that there are any hard and fast rules about "business people make bad political leaders", just like you can't say that "lifelong politicians make the best political leaders". It's all about character, integrity, empathy, ability to listen, and critical thinking/analytical skills.
