@officejjsmart Don't really know if this is all true or not but "wages are stagnant, and layoffs are widespread" is not true, Russia is experiencing a labour shortage due to the war.

@IrishRainforest There's a third option for eliminating the bird kill: keep you cats on retractable leashes. Eyelets distributed around the yard with large caribiners to clip in. It works, I know.

@GeorgeMonbiot Leaving Twitter for Bluesky, what if Elon buys Bluesky? I'm on Mastodon because nobody can buy that, its Elon proof.

[Marpole Matters @MarpoleMatters]

@GeorgeMonbiot I don't see you on Mastodon, not with a verified account anyway.

@jhwfung I hope that the person across the street with the sign for the Climate Denialist Party has their basement flood.

NEW: It’s happened again at Oakridge.
A crane has dropped its load—narrowly missing traffic.
Fortunately, this time no one was killed.
1 day after new crane safety regulations came into effect in BC.

Details tonight on @GlobalBC News at 11.

Did you know? Langara Golf Course, a 46-hectare park in the heart of the city, offers a sanctuary for various species.

Surrounded by a 2.3-kilometre public perimeter trail, the course is a haven for birds, bees, and wildlife—like this deer that graced us with its presence. 🦌

@SenSanders Canada is just now in the middle of implementing universal basic dental care, starting with seniors first. I'm not sure that permanent replacements of broken teeth are covered though.

@cspotweet Yes. March 1, the same day that the boycott started, Loblaws announced record profits. So arrogant!

@ErinnAlexander @CBCEarlyEdition @cbcradio Why was he away?

@ParkBoard do you have any info about the thickness of the ice on Trout Lake? Asking for a friend's daughter.

Not so difficult to support turning the Langara Golf course in #Marpole into housing, including a large student housing component for @langaracollege which is next door. Currently so few people are able to take advantage of the space.

[Marpole Matters @MarpoleMatters]

@jessyroos No, just increase carbon taxes, way more efficient.

@michaelgeller Accessory buildings designed to not need a permit (<100ft²) are $30k without the foundation or interior finishing.

@barbjustason Put the bowl in front of the fan.

[Marpole Matters @MarpoleMatters]

@InsulateLove ... or we need them to get the message out to their fans so that the fans are more likely to don the silly vest.

[Olivier Blanchard @ojblanchard1]

Don't blame the oil companies for their high profits. It is not price gouging, just how markets work. But there is nothing wrong with taxing those exceptional profits.

[Marpole Matters @MarpoleMatters]

@RobHodkinson I won't go unless masks are mandatory. I'm guessing there's a sizeable contingent that agrees.
