@canna_brain @trichomics Her stylist clearly is having a laugh.

@trichomics @sharpatwork What’s behind the resurgence in Whooping Cough?

[Mark Pidkowich @gopiddy]

Ok @IAmJericho , any time, anywhere! Bring @holowatuk with you if you need help!

@chriscolfer thank you so very much for making my 9 year old daughter excited about reading. You have this parent’s eternal gratitude. She is devouring your books.

[Mark Pidkowich @gopiddy]

@JaimieMillerEsq I think your 9 year old is rolling the eyeballs because you are referring to Tony Hawk in the first place. That’s like my dad talking about Gordon Howe and Rocket Richard in the 80’s

@millennials4_wp @althiaraj @globeandmail Or perhaps the Kielburgers can simply exit WE, and WE can terminate the relationship with Me to We? It would seem a waste of the infrastructure and talent if it could otherwise be redeemed and salvaged (and led by women).

@VE3ZKS @Bob265Manaton @althiaraj @globeandmail @JustinTrudeau @Puglaas @CPC_HQ I think the Kielburgers did it to themselves with no help from any of our political parties. Thank you to the tenacious investigative reporting of @CANADALAND.

Can’t understate the importance of protecting workers working in Covid-exposed environments. Attention needs to be given to the short and long-term health consequences. #COVID19 #workerhealth @spphubc @ubcnews

@sharpatwork Just when I thought I might have to try yoga to improve flexibility, this saves me! Whew!

[Mark Pidkowich @gopiddy]

@MikeReidLaw @FrankOblounge @PennyDaflos @CTVVancouver Sorry Mike. Not going to bite.

[Mark Pidkowich @gopiddy]

@MikeReidLaw @FrankOblounge @PennyDaflos @CTVVancouver I have to disagree with you again. When it is backed by reasons (which I provided in my thread) it is criticism, not insult. Her story on Mountainview was clearly unbalanced and misleading, and it misinformed the public judging from the Twitter rage. That is poor journalism.

[Mark Pidkowich @gopiddy]

@MikeReidLaw @FrankOblounge @PennyDaflos @CTVVancouver I disagree and challenge you to identify my specific tweets that were disrespectful to her. I never even said she was a bad journalist. My comments in my threads have been specific to the particular news stories. They are quite objectively unbalanced, and I provided reasons why

[Mark Pidkowich @gopiddy]

@FrankOblounge @PennyDaflos And now @PennyDaflos has blocked me because I dare criticize her efforts. None of my criticism was disrespectful or unwarranted. Incredibly #thinskin for a journalist. She ♥️ the tweets that are approving, and blocks her critics. What kind of journalist does that @CTVVancouver ?

[Mark Pidkowich @gopiddy]

@FrankOblounge @PennyDaflos Second time in a week. Last week was an unbalanced & misleading story about the small uptick in visits to Mountainview Cemetery. The city is trying to increase the amount of green space available, and she finds a story in shaming people in the most underused space in East Van.

@PennyDaflos @RyanJBlack @heinrichs_helen @denisecp87 @theLUCASTDS @WoodfordinDK @CityofVancouver @CTVVancouver And were you really there during a funeral? Really? And did you really see any “throngs”. No, because if you had, you certainly would have used the footage of the throng instead of the children.

[Mark Pidkowich @gopiddy]

@PennyDaflos @RyanJBlack @heinrichs_helen @denisecp87 @theLUCASTDS @WoodfordinDK @CityofVancouver @CTVVancouver I live nearby and haven’t seen so much activity either, but there still isn’t that much activity for a 20 square block cemetery.
