Train’s back, expo line people, icymi.

[TransLink BC @TransLink]

@kierjunos Hi there! SkyTrain Control has just advised that the stalled train has been cleared and service on the Expo Line has been restored (though with some gaps as trains return to regular frequency). ^at

[Kier Junos @kierjunos]

@TransLink Thanks for the update!

[Kier Junos @kierjunos]

What happened to the train and what’s being done to fix the stall?

[TransLink BC @TransLink]

#SkyTrain Bus Bridge replacing Expo Line service between Edmonds Station and New Westminster Station are in place due to stalled train. ^mv

[Kier Junos @kierjunos]

@TransLink Thank you. Any timeline TransLink can offer on restoration of service?

[Kier Junos @kierjunos]

@TransLink Doesn’t really answer the question, respectfully.

@chrisgailus I mean if I’m gonna be stuck here it better be cool yknow?

[Kier Junos @kierjunos]

Okay. Looks like Robertson has won this riding with 47.53% of the vote. Possibly doing a one-on-one with him later, stay tuned for that.

[Kier Junos @kierjunos]

The spread between Robertson and the Conservative candidate Avi Nayyar is closer than some projections have suggested. More real time results available at https://t.co/wVZklNjcFA.

As for crowd size, it’s not packed to the walls or anything. Polite but happy energy in the room. Jazz d’n’b breaks — I mean, the DJ continues to slay

[Kier Junos @kierjunos]

I’m told Robertson will be up on stage here at the Royal Palace Banquet Hall around 10, 10:15.

Light applause as cbc projects a liberal govt. jamiroquai’s ‘virtual insanity’ bopping loudly through the banquet hall.

Oops I meant minister of crit min and mining

[Kier Junos @kierjunos]

Premier Eby is expected to speak to media at YVR about US steel and aluminum tariffs, at 6:45 pm ahead of his flight to DC. We’ll have it live on CityNews 24/7. Apparently weather resulted in moving the flight up earlier which is why this presser is happening tonight.

[Kier Junos @kierjunos]

related, I spoke to the Minister of Critical Minerals and Trade last week. US isn’t BC’s biggest trade partner for critmin, but certainly we trade aluminum and steel. Minister didn’t commit to expanding critminerals trade to the US, just that trading partners need to diversify.
