@BCFerries Hi there - I was on the 10:10pm from #DepartureBay – #HorseshoeBay last night, which was majorly delayed. Can you tell me the reason for the delay, and why was there no update or information available to waiting passengers?

[Ciaran Boyle @Ciaran_Boyle]

@marycharleson No problem, these things slip by once in a while!

@christypoirier @TGostelow I've heard good things about the Comedy Store across from the Prince of Wales theatre, but can't verify that myself. Lots of options in London, I'm sure you'll find something great!

With a growing homeless population and a serious lack of #affordablehousing options, could #3Dprinted homes be a solution for cities like #Vancouver? https://t.co/g6ZMZsnA4X

A clash of titans - Netflix shares drop as Disney announces its own streaming service at a lower price. Will this fragmentation of streaming services end up taking a toll on consumer pocketbooks? https://t.co/OBhIrfUQsq

I deleted the #facebook app from my phone a long time ago, so I could do away with the distraction but retain the functions of Messenger. This news that they may be merging the functions of the two apps back together is very disappointing - might need a hard delete after all.

If this sounds creepy, it's because it is. With an ever-expanding network of cameras around China, state control of marginalized groups is only going to grow. Worth the read! #ethics #technology

Automating Racism: Police in China are using A.I. to mark/track ethnic minority Uighurs across the country. It’s the first known example of facial recognition being used intentionally by a government to racially profile and a massive ethical leap for A.I. https://t.co/QWvbPIj84z

The difference between someone being "made to feel included" and "included" is huge. Sometimes the #language we subconsciously use has the opposite effect of what we hope. By being mindful, we can gain #awareness of our blindspots and strive for clear and ethical #communication.

When developing a #communication #strategy for your business, it's important to know the role #socialmedia will play. Laura Lake's article for @thebalance can help you clarify your plan. https://t.co/tiRJzkEZyx

If your #business has #socialmedia, people are probably talking about you. Are you #listening? @danielkushner has the low down on why businesses should have an ear to the ground. https://t.co/Hq7sTnL9Qr

I love this. My childhood home was an old arthritis clinic in Victoria which my parents renovated after they barged it up island to a plot of land they bought. Let's save those heritage homes, people!

Producing more of the same #content doesn't help you #evolve as an #artist, but that's what gets attention on @Instagram. Remember Ello? It's still kicking, and might be your way out of that rut. @ellohype via: @Medium https://t.co/ix8eZs6Xya
