A friend just said “transit in Vancouver is a game and if the person sitting next to you has to verbally *tell* you you need to get up to let them out because it's their stop, you've lost” and I’ll be thinking about this all night

Hey. @SaltWireNews

@BCScan1 Auto aid isn't mutual aid

[Al @backroadsmedic]

This is sad and shameful behavior from @Local967. Way to turn on a brother..

[Dan Wood @danwood1562]

I should add it’s a testament to the hard working men and women of Saanich Firefighters Association IAFF Local 967 who provided so much input to help guide the design.
I tried to tag them in the post but found I’ve been blocked 🤷‍♂️
