@SSIMagazine@ADT ADT is bragging that they will now try harder to call the correct Fire Dept in the event of a client alarm signal? Seems like a pretty low bar for service. Calling the wrong # isn’t much better than calling nooone. #security#wrongnumber
@pwaldkirch@fabulavancouver If it was me being asked to make a quick decision on a budget bigger than a phonebook inside of my first few weeks on a job where the entire management team involved in creating the budget in the first place had been fired, or were no longer around, my quick answer would be ‘no’.
@fabulavancouver Three rounds of questions, all over the ice, would appear to be a good reason to push this budget back. Nobody understands it. Way too much money for this much confusion. They’ve been on the job for just a few weeks. Seems completely unreasonable to expect them to vote in favour.
@PtFry @amoraexcyna @wanzerelli @AdrianeCarr@councillorwiebe Is it being used to fund the extra costs the NDP has chosen to add to the Pattulo bridge upgrade by handpicking specific unions rather than open tender? Lots of opportunities to address housing w/o adding new taxes.
@JJofBC@christineeboyle You’re only a millionaire if, after subtracting all liabilities, there is still $1m left over. Someone w a $3m home may have $2.5m debt against it. Someone else w/ two $750k condos owns them free and clear. The millionaire escapes this tax. That’s the problem w this tax.
@christineeboyle Why does someone who owns three $2m homes free and clear get preferable treatment to someone who owns one ‘worth’ $4m, but only has $1m in equity? Or compared to a renter who chose to invest $ in stock market vs real estate? Having govt arbitrarily guess who has $ is dangerous
Proud of my 16yr old daughter launching https://t.co/Emah3swvzo after many months of hard work. Her first pop-up shop is this Sunday, 1-5pm at Southlands Nursery @ 6550 Balaclava. Come check out the women’s (& now men’s) pjs everyone should be wearing (finchbymj on Instagram)
@TomDavidoff If city & prov keep stacking taxes on everyone in the middle, only ppl who will be able to afford a house will be ultra-wealthy who use YVR for a few weeks each year. Moving a $7M house to $6.3M isn’t an affordability win. Only way this tax is defensible is w income tax offset
Hey @CitizenYan -- love your platform.. you've built your brand on fighting bullying. How does this square with @kennedystewart's campaign manager Neil Monckton bullying & threatening private citizens over tweets? Twice we know about.. how many more? https://t.co/oxJwLb1RH3
@Betamax1080p @drex @kennedystewart Totally disagree. But again, that’s not the issue anymore. Kennedy Stewart has had a few days to figure out how best to respond. He has chosen the worst possible way. That should concern everyone thinking about who to vote for.
@Betamax1080p @drex @kennedystewart It was recorded because Monckton called me twice at my office, which is a security company, where 100% of calls are recorded. No intent to leverage, I wasn't expecting a threat. Also, the bigger issue here is the response to all this, not the original incident.
The insanity continues. I didn’t say what Stewart did was illegal. I said that when he bragged about his “full” list of supporters, he was lying. If he has union support, why hide it? His reaction is 100x worse than the original issue. #vanpoli#vanelexn18
The fracas surrounds a profanity-laden phone call between Monckton and Michael Jagger, a friend of NPA mayoral candidate Ken Sim and a volunteer on Sim’s campaign.
