Woman on trail this morning: He’s got no back leg!
Me: What???? He must have dropped it somewhere between here and the car.
Nobody laughed.

So.... the cliches are true :) You fall in love with your child at first sight, and fall in love with your husband even more that you ever thought was possible. Here’s our little Evan born this past weekend.
“and nothing. nothing in the history of humankind ever felt more like love than this.” CD A poem I found posted to a pole during a walk to the grocery store today. It felt like an unexpected gift.

and because she leaned on us. She was missing her left front leg. ❤️
Help us give this girl a name 💗. She came into our care with a horribly broken leg and was simply referred to as ‘Dog’ by her previous owners. Let’s give her a fresh start. Visit to enter your name suggestions by Wednesday, Dec 19 at 11:59pm PST.

@GlobalBC
as M-F anchor of Global News at 11 (formerly News Hour Final). So much news happens at night and we have a great team on it! I know the history of this broadcast and I'm thrilled to contribute to its future.
Just finished reading HOLDEN:AFTER AND BEFORE by the lovely

It is a gorgeous, heartbreaking love letter to her son, family & the entire DTES. Told with a compassion everyone needs to carry in their hearts. I can’t imagine how tough it was to write, but it’s a gift.

Hospices and multifamily homes coexist next to each other all over the world - and they can in Shaugnessy. All it takes is a willingness and the respect to work together.
Rental housing. Gentle density. Transit ridership. Climate emergency. Diverse communities. Neighbourly design. And
#gentledensity
& hospices ARE compatible. Watch my pre-recorded presentation to Council for tomorrow night’s Granville Street Public Hearing.

You are full of grace, loveliness and passion! Can't wait to hear where you'll be landing. Congratulations on a tough, tough decision...

Brothers. Brothers would do that. Except it would be a real snake and he'd whip it at your head and it would curl around your neck while you're riding bikes and you'd scream and he'd laugh.
I spent the coldest (and the best) 364 days of my life in Brandon at CKX-TV. I did news, hog reports, mopped the floor and generally learned everything I could about journalism!
My hometown of Brandon, Manitoba hit -41 this morning. I am pretty sure my name is on a list of deserters somewhere. If I am caught it means 30 days tongue-on-fencepost.
Hey Vancouver🇨🇦!
One last look at you from my rooftop (while it’s still mine)!
You were so good to me. The most beautiful place I’ve lived & most complicated & worthwhile place to serve as your Fire Chief. And incredible people to serve with!
Thank you! I will always love you!
Excited to welcome
@TerrySchintz
to
@NEWS1130
. Terry will bring his wealth of experience to our team as Morning Anchor & Managing Editor. He’s one of the best anchors & newsroom leaders in Canada, and has guided a generation of journalists (myself included.) Congrats, Schintzy!
Santa delivered our newest family member, Abby the bernedoodle. She has all the boys in our house wrapped around her finger. Our old guy wasn't sure at first but now he is teaching her all his tricks. Trick 1: Sit and beg.
This is Mike, a fixture outside Church’s Chicken & Donalds’s Market on E Hastings. On Thursday someone stole his best friend, his little dog Mishah, while he was in the bathroom. He’s heartbroken and wants her back. Who does that?
Also, I had a great book interview today with someone I first met in June 2008 when he helped me after a sketchy encounter with Jamie Bacon's dad David in Abbotsford.

I don’t think incredibly cross is accurate. I think it was more of a “I care for your future happiness and success and whatever is growing above your lip won’t help you get there so rub it off now”. Like a loving nudge.
Now I need to know - what did you do??? I served meals at an army camp, worked at a glass plant, was a student customs officer at YVR and came away with $30k in student loans.
That's why, at EVERY news conference, Dr. Bonnie Henry reminds people to "be kind, be calm and be safe." Don't judge others. Don't shame strangers. We're all in this together. Those reminders are as important as physical distancing, washing your hands & not touching your face.
The thing about the next phase of
#COVID19
is that even though the government will work to ensure collective activity doesn't surge past the "60% of normal" level, each individual will have their own comfort level — both for themselves, and for others.
There's gonna be tension.
A very proud & emotional time at the South Surrey/White Rock Learning Centre graduation ceremony last night, to see the inaugural Matthew Madryga Humanities Scholarship awarded. Congratulations Maya Senger! And thank you
