@iamkennethchan Save lives or design efficiency? C’mon. That’s a non starter. What’s a stairway on a floor? A large closet? 3 - 4 feet across?

[Kenneth Chan @iamkennethchan]

Should small residential buildings up to 8 floors with only 1 emergency stair be permitted?

The current code is at least 2 stairs.

BC government is aiming to strike a balance between safety & design efficiency for more housing. #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanre

City of Kelowna has approved new restrictions that effectively essentially wipe out short-term rentals.

The regulations go above and beyond the new provincial policies. #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanre

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

The TV movie Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer debuted in 1964 and has become a holiday classic.

While it is associated with the United States, nearly every character was voiced by a Canadian and it was recorded at RCA Studios in Toronto.

Canadian voice actors were chosen for two main reasons. The first was that many radio dramas were still produced in Canada, while the United States had ended production of most years earlier. This created a large talent pool in Canada.

The second reason was that it was cheaper to record the voice cast in Canada due to lower labour costs in the country.

The voice of Rudolph was recorded by Billie Mae Richards, who was born in Toronto.
She was credited as Billy Richards as producers did not want to disclose that a woman had done the voice. Later in life, she was the voice of Tenderheart Bear on The Care Bears.

Larry Mann voiced Yukon Cornelius and Bumble, who was born in Toronto and had many roles in films such as The Sting and The Heat Of The Night.

Paul Soles, born in Toronto, was the voice of Hermey in the movie. He was also the voice of Spider-Man in the Spider-Man animated series. He also co-hosted Take 30 for 18 years on CBC.

Other Canadian actors filling out the cast of the movie included:

Alfie Scopp - Various Male Elves, Charlie-in-the-Box

Paul Kligman - Donner and Coach Comet. Paul Klingman often worked with Wayne and Shuster.

Carl Banas - Head Elf, Misfit Toys. He also had roles in The Raccoons and Wojeck.

Bernard Cowan - Clarice's Father. He was a well-known Canadian announcer who worked shows such as Front Page Challenge, The Pierre Berton Show and Wayne and Shuster. He was also the cousin of Paul Soles.

Santa and Mama Claus were played by Canadians Stan Francis and Peg Dixon.

If you do this and ICBC catches you, they can refuse to issue you a license or insurance. Do not do this. You could also be charged with fraud. Do not do this.

@RenuBakshi @DonRCampbell @BIVnews Always read in between the lines when reviewing strata documents and talk to people in the building before buying. I’m sorry you’re going through this in your building.

Kleenex bids farewell to Canada 🇨🇦. In the past year, several big brands have also exited the Canadian food market. ⬇️

Factors like increased private labels, a moderately sized market, and business costs may be reshaping the landscape. #CanadaMarketShift

[Mayor Ken Sim @KenSimCity]

Glad to hear this idea was raised to the federal government at their retreat.

ABC councillors and I been advocating for almost a year to eliminate GST on housing, as part of an all-hands-on-deck approach to make housing more affordable.

We will continue to advocate for attainable housing in Vancouver.
