Mark will speak with @strombo at the Canadian Premiere of The Rewilders this Saturday at @whistlerfilm. The doc follows conservationists as they help restore habitat for keystone species across the globe - reshaping our relationship with the natural world.

@google brutal! Forced obsolescence on Nest thermostats. 😡 Owned 13 years, now must spend $219 on next gen replacement. Nothing wrong with it, but Oct. ‘25 it goes dumb (no app or wifi support). Huge e-waste! 👎🏻. Thinking @ecobee

Says it all. #Canucks

@johnnyjeep801 @CanucksArmy All time favourite there - classic and meaningful.

[Dave Pinton @dave_pinton]

@CanucksArmy Despite data (across many sports) indicating teams with black jerseys are penalized more than those with light jerseys, they need to wear the skate. Players apparently like them, fans like them, and they’ll wear white in away games so calls could even out. Let’s do it!!!

Blizzard here with winds above 40km/h and very low visibility in blowing snow. #BCStormWatch #bcstorm

[Dave Pinton @dave_pinton]

@imacSportsnet maybe we can start a new trend in analysis & stop calling the 3 & 4th lines the “bottom six”? Maybe the Canucks’ “depth” lines? Less negative connotation - gives them modicum of respect for the work they do. Even “3rd or 4th lines” is better than “bottom 6”🙄

[Dave Pinton @dave_pinton]

@rayferraro21 how about we start a new analysis trend and call the so-called “bottom 6” something else? How about “the depth lines” or even back to the old term the “3rd or 4th lines” would be better. A positive slant rather than the connotation of being less worthy.

Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

[River World @oneriverworld]

Today, on the Fraser River, my grandson & I caught, tagged, released a juvenile sturgeon. Tagging records size, location, date. If the fish is caught & released again, the scanned tag provides growth, movement data helping protect/manage this great species. @cascadefishing

Better than expected production plus higher cost of electricity means this renewable energy project will pay itself off in record time.

[U of Fraser Valley @goUFV]

An investment in solar panels is already paying off for UFV.

The rooftop of Building G on the Abbotsford campus now boasts 321 black aluminum alloy frame energy-producing solar panels.

Pretty, and home sweet home, but getting iced over very quickly. Power may not be on for long. #BCStorm

[Dave Pinton @dave_pinton]

@CoachEbe Embarrassing. What do his actions teach his team and the opposing team? That’s 24 kids (at least) he’s provided with a poor example.

[City of Abbotsford @City_Abbotsford]

The City has launched a Return Home plan for evacuated residents. Information can be found online at https://t.co/F4ZmAOmtbc and includes a map of the evacuated areas. This will be a valuable resource as evacuation orders are lifted in the coming days.
