@JohnBauters Victoria, BC.
Chill. As. Hell.

@mattdellok 👏 Site visits allow you to better understand what’s proposed, and puts you in a better position to assess and fact-check public hearing feedback. Good work

First time seeing an EV freight truck in the wild. Looks like solar panels on the roof and big (changeable?) batteries underneath… Cool!

That Eustáquio nutmeg on De Bruyne tho… 👀

Congrats to Anchorage for moving towards a more climate, people, equitable city 🥳

[Steve Roddick @s_roddick]

@tedlaking 💯. Summer closure of Front st to 2nd ave seems like the obvious first step (you could plan a whole summer of activities in that space!) Closing 2nd-3rd/4th needs a bit more thought, but I love the idea of partnering w fireweed market to shift Thursday market days to Main st.

[Steve Roddick @s_roddick]

Whoa. Wonder what Canada would look like?

Check out how land is used in the United States.
Cows take up the most space!

@khadoni Had this same thought today. Is it at all enforced? Maybe - in off street lots - its just a work-around for private biz to meet parking reqs? 🤔

@darrensusin @TimKucharuk I *believe in my heart* that they’ll win - and will be cheering - but my brain tells me that the smarter bet is that they don’t lose all three (i.e. they’ll at least get a tie). If you’ll take that $20 bet I’ll give you 2/1 odds

[Steve Roddick @s_roddick]

@darrensusin @TimKucharuk Fair. Am I really worse off not responding to texts/social media instantaneously though (or, in my case, within a week or two)? TBD, the experiment continues…

Parks is putting out the call for our Main St tree. Each year, a resident donates a tree from their property, then gets to see it all lit up. Do you have a candidate between 35'-50' that's accessible to a large vehicle? Email our Lead Tinsel Tech: [email protected]

FIFA is worth billions. If Qatar is not going to properly compensate the families of migrant workers who died building stadiums for its event, they should be on the hook.

Twitter: $44 billion

Musk trying to correct Bernie about insulin prices just to be called a liar by his own website: priceless

[Christine Boyle @christineeboyle]

It’s absurd and irresponsible keep repeating this “$5 Billion spent in Vancouver” line when that number has very credibly been shown to include:

💰 Old Age Security, childcare benefits, and other federal traders.
💰Funds spent across the province.

[Rob Shaw @RobShaw_BC]

.@VancouverPD tomorrow will release a report it commissioned into spending on city's social safety net - a summary of which leaked this week.
I've read both now, and let me summarize them for you: Misleading fiction.

France is not fucking around

New legislation demands all *existing* carparks with 80 or more spaces must install a solar roof (in 3-5 years)

This could generate up to 11 gigawatts, which is the equivalent of 10 nuclear reactors

On tech companies colonizing attention: “They’re coming for every second of your life…” 😳.

So many important threads in this rant… for me, I keep coming back to how the war for our attention impacts our ability to work together and solve big problems. Worth your 2 mins 👇

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Wow. Didn’t know Bo Burnham was a real one. Couldn’t be more relevant

“We’re losing the ability to think and act together to resolve challenges. …it shouldn’t be so hard to do the right thing. It shouldn’t be so difficult to take action to create the future we need…”

Political leaders take note:
Process > Issues
