@WayneFougere @CityHallWchVAN It is sun drenched - true, but the "plaza" amenities are insufficient to serve the needs of hundreds of families + kids and 1000+ new residents who moved into these 3 towers or have been living in the vicinity. Couple of benches, small slide, circ.Platform, minimal investment 💵

@Net2Zero @JustinTrudeau @bcndp @BCGovNews @Dave_Eby What percentage of Canadian crude gets refined where? If mostly in the US, what challenges do you foresee with regards to implementing this idea?

@Net2Zero @JustinTrudeau @liberal_party @FP_Champagne @theJagmeetSingh @NDP Do you know of any other country/ jurisdiction where such a system is working successfully?

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Thank you to @hostharjitgill for organizing last night's discussion on getting rid of the gatekeepers around Canada's foreign credential recognition system.

Doctors, nurses, veterinarians & engineers should be tested on what they know, not where they come from.

Why do we still have a $0.25 cup fee?!

It's one of the worst @CityofVancouver policies rolled out by our former municipal gov't. A massive cash grab for @Starbucks, @TimHortons & @McDonalds and no change in behaviour.
