A bad day is when your car won’t start and then you spill coffee on yourself. It is not killing eight people because you can’t control your sexual desires.
My dad and my uncle both passed away in the last few days - and despite their condition, they both managed to vote in their respective home elections (dad - BC, uncle - US). I’m so proud of them for doing their civic duty, one last time.

I’ve decided to “identify” as Chinese. Coke will like me, Delta will agree with my “values” and I’ll probably get shoes from Nike & tickets to

Just walked home from Drake show to my condo which, to be honest, I can’t really afford, in really painful high heels and pouring rain because why even bother trying to get a cab in this town. And yet, I still you ❤️ Vancouver. Also, I lost my umbrella.

I want to thank everyone for their kind tweets over the weekend. Frankly, it’s been a bit overwhelming to see so much support. Thanks to
@steeletalk
for giving me the time & space to say what I didn’t even realize I needed to say.
So, I’ve been off all week and I heard there was some stuff going on with trucks. But I started wearing a fanny pack and I want you all to know it’s been life-changing.

Kudos to all the journalists and crews on the ground in Ottawa today. Your patience in the face of these bizarre and sometimes hostile circumstances is incredible.

Hollywood icon Betty White died at the age of 99 Friday morning. Back in 2012, White made an appearance on Global News when she was in B.C. for the Vancouver Comedy Festival. Here’s a look back at White’s interview with

for my dad + our family. Everyone on the 9th floor surgical ward - nurses, physio, OTs, docs - has helped make a very stressful situation bearable.

Here’s the other thing that fills my ❤️ tonight...
@kamalaharris
is a stepmom & I’m sure she has a great relationship with her step kids. But I love that she didn’t have to have her own kids in order to be seen as complete. She chose her own path & she just made history.
A message from my mother: Please do not abuse the free parking at the BC Cancer Centre on W. 10th. She & my dad are there for an appointment and the parking lot is “full to the brim.” Thank you on behalf of my parents.
Get some tissue.
Take a deep breath.
And then read this thread to its heartbreaking end.
When you’re done, take a moment to think hard about whether you really need that weekend getaway or that small get together with friends.
I. LOVE. YOU.
The way my dying patients wife spoke those words took my breath away. The pause between each word. The emphasis on each word as though willing him to feel the power, the pain, and the emotion.
It was as if it was a plea and a fact at the same time.
@DouglasTodd
I am not even a little bit confused. It is possible & appropriate to like shoes and be smart & powerful *and* fight for equal rights all at the same time. What is *not* appropriate is to dismiss a woman’s abilities & message because of her looks & clothing.
That the mayor has to come out and actually tell you not to play beer pong with your buddies is mind-boggling. TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND USE YOUR COMMON SENSE!!!
This 30-year-old man with special needs was found walking alone. And when cops asked him who they could call, he only remembered one name: his junior high teacher. Now that teacher is taking him in ❤️️
I've heard so many great stories and tributes to Deb today...and it makes me think - did she know how loved she was? I hope she did. Take time today to tell someone what they mean to you. Do it now, before it's too late.
#ripdeb
i took the day off to take a break from covid coverage and all i’ve done today is check my email, talk about covid with neighbours (from 2 metres away), watch Dr. Bonnie Henry’s press briefing, and watch the Trump press briefing. also, twitter. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🙄

rappelled down the side of the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Friday, in support of The Boys and Girls Club of South Coast BC. Dozens of people raised a minimum of $1,000 each for the chance to rappel down the 36-storey building.

I agree Nathan Phillips is the name that is most important on this day. But I hope those kids don’t grow up to be bland, forgettable adults. I hope they learn from this. I hope they feel shame & remorse. And I hope they use that shame & remorse to grow into better human beings.

passed away yesterday evening, having reached the end of her road with ovarian cancer. She leaves behind her Sun and Moon, a loving extended family, colleagues and students, friends around the world, and so many others who have been touched by her & her story 1/n
OMG I just got ID’d!! And when I say ID’d - I mean double ID’d! They asked for a second piece of ID!!! Wait. This was at a voting place, not a nightclub. So...they don’t think I look young? 🤷🏻♀️
When it’s all over and stores are back open, I hope we can keep these murals displayed somewhere. Thank you to all the artists & businesses for bringing some brightness to these strange times.

I know this ad and the furor surrounding it are a few days old, but it feels like today is an appropriate time for a reminder of the core message: Don’t be a jerk.
Dr. Art (the OG TV Doctor) - I always loved chatting with you on our shows. You made healthcare approachable and sometimes even funny :) Thanks for teaching us more about medicine and always making us laugh. 🙏
Personal note: Just ended 35 media yrs: CBC, BBC, CKNW, PAC Press, 25 at Global TV; huge tnx to all the great viewers,listeners,readers; special tnx to so many fab on-air hosts, techs, producers, editors who laughed at my jokes & made me seem smarter, look better than I really am
It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Deb Hope. She was one of the most iconic faces in B.C. for decades and will be deeply missed. We are thinking of her family and loved ones. RIP Deb.
first i thought today was wednesday. then i realized i was wrong and thought it was thursday. and then i looked at a calendar and now i just want a nap.
More from Park Board: ‘The otter was sighted and confirmed to be at the pond on Wednesday morning along with the carcasses of three koi. Park Board staff took immediate action and began lowering the water levels of the pond in order to remove the existing koi.’
"The idea I am kneeling in water to make it look deep is idiotic."
