Well guys, I’m leaving Twitter. It is a sacrifice I must make for my principles, and because everyone else is. You can find me at better Twitter. You know the one. bsky.app/profile/harrisonmoo…
Christine Boyle’s official last day on Council is Dec. 12, which is also Christine Sinclair Day in BC. It will be a very Christine-focused Thursday. Anyway after that there will be a by-election. Have Vancouver progressives learned from the last one? thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/11/…

“Did Vancouver invent trick-or-treating? I wouldn’t go that far. But even if we didn’t do it first, we do it best.”
@HarrisonMooney on why, in Vancouver, Halloween is special. 🎃

First recorded instance of trick-or-treating in North America: The Vancouver Daily World, 1898.
"The habit, if properly followed out and observed, is a harmless one." thetyee.ca/Culture/2024/10/3…
By 1917, the Daily World's Halloween story was a guide to enduring another year of the Small Boy's "devilish ingenuity." Let the doorbell ring twice. If he tricks you, say nothing. Do not reach for your gun. Do not shoot the Small Boy.
Happy Halloween! Fun fact: while the holiday itself was imported from Europe, the trick-or-treating part of it appears to have originated here, in Vancouver. My latest in @TheTyee:
