I’m in BC Ferry’s quiet lounge listening to a husband mansplain to his wife the viciousness of water buffalo. #blessed

@CaraMcK @sthomas10 @VanCourierNews @blinkwriter @Howellings @Naoibh We had JACKETS!?

Spent 12 hours with firefighters who work out of No. 2 hall in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.

It's believed to be BC's busiest fire hall.

Remarkable experience on many levels.

Big ups to my former @VanCourierNews colleague @Howellings. He's one of the best in the game... and he also makes a mean lunch 🔥🔥🔥

WINNER ALERT!! - Best Community Reporting

[Midlife Man @MidlifeMan1]

As usual, some great, insightful and thorough civic reporting from my old colleague @Howellings. And sadly, as usual, "voter turnout was 36.3 per cent" 😬

Kennedy Stewart first Vancouver mayor in 42 years to lose race to challenger.

ABC Vancouver's Ken Sim did Saturday what Mike Harcourt did in 1980 — he defeated a sitting mayor.

Realized I've been writing about the Downtown Eastside for 20 years.

So I reflected on those two decades in a column.

Tonight’s the night. The fine folks at Knowledge Network @kpassiton are airing my doc on artist Hinda Avery and her fantastic paintings of foul-mouthed elderly women taking on the Nazis. Stoked. https://t.co/zyEDv8lrlc

Something to remember the next time you drive down East Hastings: There's a direct line between the horrors of residential schools and the Downtown Eastside. #dtes #vanpoli https://t.co/BkMYOthlV7

There comes a time in one's life when you finally decide to get your @UVic_Alumni card 27 years after graduating, make a video about how you obtained said card and then encourage others to join you on the emotional journey. This is one of those times...

Last time I was inside Esquimalt’s Archie Browning Sports Centre was to see Fugazi. Twenty years later it’s where I got me some of that sweet sweet vaccine. Boom!

@flematic @VanCourierNews That was one of those amazing community stories where a reader/attendee of the birthday party called the day of and said "I thought this would be a good Courier story... you should come down." @Jen_Gauthier and I headed over after a full day of work, and we were glad we did.

[Midlife Man @MidlifeMan1]

@Sam_WineTeacher @MikeKlassen I can’t vouch for that...

This happened in Nanaimo exactly 15 years ago tonight when we were allowed to spit beer on each other and in consenting adults' mouths. Happy night before Christmas eve, everyone.
