I brought my e-bike onto an elevator with a few older ladies. One of them looked at my bike and said “my son thinks e-bikes are cheating.” (To a round of laughter from the other ladies) I responded “if he thinks e-bikes are cheating, what does he think of cars?” #awkwardsilence
I’m surprised Loblaws hasn’t started offering the option to tip at their grocery stores.

"It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them."

“In a #ClimateEmergency, the status quo is a failure of leadership.”
The same can be said for @LangleyTownship’s road design standards.
@MayorFroese @ClrBobLong @ericwoodward @KimAnneRichter
I know parking fees aren’t easy. But our current transportation system is failing, on climate, equity, safety. The status quo is unsafe roads & sidewalks, poor air quality, slow buses, & missed climate targets.
In a #ClimateEmergency, the status quo is a failure of leadership.

Hey @LangleySchools any chance we can have School Streets in Langley? The amount of vehicle traffic at most schools is a hazard.
@LangleyTownship
It’s official! Vancouver’s School Streets program is being extended right through this school year at Hastings, Van Horne & Lord Roberts! Volunteers needed at all 3 schools. vancouver.ca/people-programs…

Kids think their heads are 10 feet wide when putting on sunglasses but think their heads end at their eye balls when they walk under countertops.

Shouldn’t drivers be told to look both ways before crossing a crosswalk?

This is 95% of the parents I see on my walk to the school everyday.

“Make eye contact with the driver.
Dress to be seen. Always obey traffic signal devices, remove your headphones and never talk, text or use electronic devices in an intersection or while crossing”

As a veteran I always held the view that people had the right to choose to wear a poppy or not. Just like people can protest, have freedom of expression, and the right to vote. Whole Foods was taking this right away from people. At least they did an about turn. #RemembranceDay
My beer isn’t big enough. On the plus side at least my “Friends” list will be a little smaller on Facebook.
