@ianhanomansing Story of my life. While I have stumbled across some of these events, I've also missed many festivals in Europe, usually leaving the day before.

While it is cool to see the behind the scenes prep work, it would be great to experience the event itself.

Next time, Ian!

@New_Westminster It would be nice get a more explicit idea of the exact area rather than "the area around the accident site". You guys know the network, we don't.

Not to be too critical, but BC Hydro at least has outages actually mapped.

[Philip Walston @philwalston]

@chichi_m3 @New_Westminster Yeah, I can ration my remaining UPS juice better.

[Philip Walston @philwalston]

@New_Westminster Thanks for the update.

[Philip Walston @philwalston]

@New_Westminster - One of your website links appears to be broken.

is basically a circular reference and leads nowhere. Very frustrating.

@Frenck Such a romantic!

[Philip Walston @philwalston]

@DevinCuddy He put on a helluva show in Vancouver. Even if he had to toss a couple of troublemakers out. Smiling all the time, of course.

As Keeler said, can't have a concert without some trouble!

@Dean_Winnipeg @TondaMacC @aballinga It was on their To Do list, somewhere after "Polish the riot gear".

"OPP leadership" is apparently an oxymoron.

@cjte_swiss @brooklynbe80 You mean, like the recent ones in the UK?

[Philip Walston @philwalston]

@tangerinevr @brooklynbe80 Makes sense.

They have demonstrated excellent taste in choosing wise, brave, and honest leaders in the UK.

Every couple of years.

From the same interbred Conservative gene pool.

@Edengrove123 @TheRealKeean I would also destroy your phone(s), unplug your microwave, and your HDTV.

I also predict that there will be a run on tinfoil ahead of this - stock up while you can!

[Philip Walston @philwalston]

@Johnmarche3 @TheRealKeean Okay, I'll play along.

Question: How significant a group of doctors are we talking about here?

Answer: A handful out of hundreds of thousands.

Well, that was easy. And even on-topic.

@rodscot13131820 @hamsportschiro @TheRealKeean Engaging in rationale discussion about medical science takes brain cells that many don't have. At least on Twitter.

[Philip Walston @philwalston]

@WhiskyBirdDog @clearlight34 @TheRealKeean You are confusing science / maths with belief / wilful ignorance.

The former is very evident in the herd of anti-vax sheeple. Confirmation bias too.

[Philip Walston @philwalston]

@sonyapizz @canadabayliners @erdocAA @JustinTrudeau I can. It was just after Harper suspended Parliament in 2010.

But I'm sure there have been other times for all of the other PMs. Comes with the job.

[Philip Walston @philwalston]

@SeanFennessey This is really odd. I'm rewatching this on my flight right now. For me, this is almost a bookend to Mullholland Drive.

Less Lynch but still that air of something being "off".

Add in Inherent Vice, and you've got a couple of stops on a cinematic tour of the weird side of LA.

[Philip Walston @philwalston]

@TheRewatchables I think I have listened to most of them, even movies I didn't really like or takes I just don't agree with (looking at you here @SeanFennessey and your view on Contact).

As a cinephile wanna-be, that's what I like about the show and why it's one of must-listens. Don't stop!

[Philip Walston @philwalston]

Watching one of the great @TheRewatchables - Mullholland Drive. Possibly one of only two commercial Lynch movies (other than Blue Velvet).

[Philip Walston @philwalston]

The 38 Best Restaurants in Vancouver, and @Eater can't be bothered to mention L'Abbatoir and Published? Gee, one of them was only ranked as the best restaurant in Canada. Consider the source, I guess.

[Philip Walston @philwalston]

@MattLoszak Matt - thanks for the great piece. I posted a longer response on LI, but we need more people with the foresight to realize that solutions are at hand, and that Canada could be a leader here. Keep us posted on what transpires and reach out anytime.
