Sad that the @nhl and @NHLBlackhawks allow the Russian govt's openly anti-#LGBTQ laws to curtail their freedom.

While it may have been defensible to make an organizational decision to have 🇷🇺 players not wear pride jerseys for the warmup, its not defensible to cancel altogether.

@westvanschools @EHNews gr 4/5s are on their last of 3 field days @DFO_Pacific's PSEC lab in #WestVan.

Grateful to share our experimental results & get feedback from scientists.

@SJDJ @EHNews @WestVanSchools That was a great one!

We might only have 80 students across 4 classes in K-5 @EHNews but we don't mess around when it comes to our end-of-term musical every December.

Show goes on tomorrow and the kids as ready to shine!

@moebius_strip I didn't want to know either. But for some twisted irony, this tweet has me thinking I should find out.

I will, however, resist.

Rights are too important to give up so easily.

@TriciaDong @jodyvance @JohnCCoupar @ParkBoard @Vote4ABC @Smith442Smith @TriciaBarker49 @ParkBoardScott But I get that there are folks who are very for/against for whatever arguments they have.

I'm interested more in making sure those arguments are well-founded in evidence, especially when it seems on the surface like a politician has overstated long-run impacts.

@TriciaDong @jodyvance @JohnCCoupar @ParkBoard @Vote4ABC @Smith442Smith @TriciaBarker49 @ParkBoardScott Situations like this are why I learned first aid and the heimlich maneuver. Far more effective for your scenario. Also why IEDs are far more common.

Also: I believe this issue was addressed as my understanding was that they worked with EMS planners to ensure access.

[Stephen Price @MrPriceBC]

@jodyvance @JohnCCoupar @ParkBoard @Vote4ABC @Smith442Smith @TriciaBarker49 @ParkBoardScott @CKNW For example, for something with an impact that severe, one would expect a performance audit report.

Can't find one, though:

@jodyvance @JohnCCoupar @ParkBoard @Vote4ABC @Smith442Smith @TriciaBarker49 @ParkBoardScott @CKNW In other words, it would take an independent accounting analysis to show the causal link he claims, especially one that has an impact as deep as he claims.

Was there any independent or at least a staff analysis to back up his claims? Is the staff analysis public?

[Stephen Price @MrPriceBC]

@jodyvance @JohnCCoupar @ParkBoard @Vote4ABC @Smith442Smith @TriciaBarker49 @ParkBoardScott Can you clarify what the costs were that make you react so strongly in the negative?

[Stephen Price @MrPriceBC]

@jodyvance @JohnCCoupar @ParkBoard @Vote4ABC @Smith442Smith @TriciaBarker49 @ParkBoardScott I really don't understand your view here.

As a regular-ish user of Stanley Park, after a relatively brief period during the initial layout, core problems were solved and I found the park totally usable.

The cost was a risk of a <5m delay if driving behind a horse carriage.

The independent review of B.C.'s COVID response that was commissioned by the government has just been released: https://t.co/BuNWWrv7Gm

It finds the most transparent jurisdiction in North America was, in fact, not transparent and eroded people's trust.

[Brishti Basu @brish_ti]

#NEW: Independent review of BC's COVID-19 response highlights several points that need improvement including pandemic planning, health data collection, and very clearly, transparency and an explanation for public health decisions.

@ClintJohnston7 @TheJenRollins I am glad I can continue supporting your presidency. 😅

[Stephen Price @MrPriceBC]

@TheJenRollins Raisins in butter tarts is the correct answer.

No nuts. No boring sugar pie tarts.

Raisins is the way.

@BCSTA_News @kondrik4 Lots of interesting sessions at your conference!

Curious: how many front-line teachers are presenting? Of the front-line Ts invited, how many are given an opportunity to candidly share what strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges they are seeing in the #bced system?
