Heard a really enlightening interview with Sgt Steve Addison @vancouverpd.bsky.social just now.
If people listened, they might have heard his defence of, and empathy for, DES residents. His assessment of situation seemed reasonable. Good work, VPD. 👍
"I don't think we can let funding sources shape, control, and restrict the content and cultural institutions because cultural institutions lose their integrity, they lose their credibility, they lose their purpose when they are censored and sanctioned." ~Bryan Stevenson @eji_org on federal funding.
Thankful for quick-thinking by passerby and child's family to stop the suspect from getting away with the child.🤲🙏

Happy #Thanksgiving!

The fun family traditions: the gaggle of #turkeys come out, as do the #UBCM glasses (Pepsi in mine😉), and of course a knife cut.🙄🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ Thankfully no sutures required.🤲🙏👍

Hope you had a relaxed dinner with yours!🍂🧡🍁🤎
Heard this couple on CBC this morning. A raw and vulnerable interview. ☹️😥

Ugh. Brutal how life can change in a split second. No matter how carefully we plan, sometimes things go horribly wrong.

Wishing Nikki a full, complete, and quick recovery.🫂

Yowza. A panhandler on the centre divider on Saanich Rd, is arguing and yelling at stopped motorists who aren't giving her money.

Pretty sure she's on thin ice... considering she is in contravention of the #SafeStreetsAct... then again, that would require action.😕🤷🏼‍♀️ #yyjtraffic

Sounds like there needs to be more arrests today.
Obstruction is one thing, but arson is seriously criminal.
Claiming you don't condone arson, after you have deliberately riled people up for months, just doesn't wash.
Gaol for bale(s of hay set on fire).
Saddened to learn of the medical emergency and sudden passing of the person on the @bcgeu.bsky.social line this week. My thoughts and hugs to the colleagues on scene, and condolences to the family.🫂💔
Sports team: publicly comments that City “has been not exactly simple to work with” since the departure of former Mayor.

City responds with facts….

Sports team: “direct dialogue and not public exchanges” would be the best way to move forward.

You think?

#OTD 50 years ago, #FawltyTowers debuted!

I agree with @gregorcraigie.bsky.social - definitely up there in being one of the best sitcoms of all time. 🤣😂

@kennbskysocial.bsky.social Nice to see your weather photo featured on the @globalnews.ca latecast tonight - and to hear you get a shout-out! 👍😁😍
Feel-good story on @cheknews.ca tonight, with #PeninsulaCoop raising funds for #HelpFillADream.

TIL that #HelpFillADream provides more than trips! A lovely "dream" was granted to a young teen who only wanted a junior membership at the #VictoriaGolfClub. 🥹

Wish him the best in his pursuits.🏌️‍♂️⛳
Some days this is all I need to clear my head and get a fresh start. 🙂

My @thewalrus.ca has arrived, and I love this cover.

It's not just marriages, tho. I'm finding more & more friendships & other relationships expect someone else to remind them, putting responsibility on others.🤨

Her response is 🏆.

I'm not anyone's project/calendar manager, or personal assistant!
