A big loss for the B.C. NDP and @eby-david.bsky.social , no longer having John Rustad to kick around….#bcpoli

No masks, no swapped out plates, no badgeless enforcement. ICE and CBP: stop being the Gestapo.

Who hasn’t been there?
He'll be back
A raccoon entered a liquor store the other day and drank his fill: rum, moonshine, even peanut butter whiskey. Then he passed out on the floor of the bathroom. Don’t worry, he’s OK, and was safely released back into the wild.

Bad teams cough up goals in the final minute of a period…#Canucks have done it twice tonight….Quinn Hughes looks burdened

We lost the great #JimmyCliff this week…the soundtrack to The HarderThey Come, in which he starred and wrote most of the songs, remains one of my all-time favourite albums…it introduced us all to #reggae before #BobMarley…every track a classic…playing now on my #Vinyl Saturday #RIP

Was fortunate to have seen his superb play, The Real Thing, during its first run in London…so good, and it echoes still….Tom Stoppard was such a brilliant and imaginative playwright RIP
Oof. He was truly a master, from Rosenkrantz & Guildenstern to Arcadia to Leopoldstadt—just a lifetime of tremendous, thought-provoking, hilarious work. RIP. www.bbc.com/news/article...

what the heck…it’s still November, so time for one more #NeilYoung album on my #Vinyl Saturday to mark his 80th birthday…..Trans, with its electro-pop and weird sci-fi sound, was one of his most controversial records…I kind of like it…but not sure emission-conscious Neil would like its cover today

We can’t expect govt to do everything…it’s up to us, too #BuyCanadian #BuyLocal Sad to see people heading south to help the US economy, rather than our own economy, which is suffering #BlackFriday

#Canucks deserved better…but when you’re 0 for 6 on the power play, you have no one but yourself to blame…only in the last desperate minute, did they start to shoot the puck

Lousy officiating nullifies solid #Canucks 2nd period…ugh
