@raoulcfernandes Randomly pick a new poetic form you've never tried before from a list like this and then just get playful with it. https://t.co/sQs8HuJKAA

@BowinnMa Thanks so much for my candy cane again this year, @BowinnMa. Made my commute sweeter.

The #ThroneSpeech outlines key priorities of this government.

A few highlights from today's announcement: National Pharmacare, a pledge to fight climate change, Reconciliation, housing and poverty, mental health care and addressing all forms of gender-based violence. #cdnpoli

"Shift happened. It’s happening again. Women, workers + migrants don’t wield much power, but, as a new generation of leaders are showing the world, they are the people who change the power dynamics of societies that are stuck in a rut. Buckle up." https://t.co/KyRIdsNUdw

Investments in affordable childcare *ARE* investments in ending #poverty, in #foodsecurity, in gender equality, in #health. The social determinants of health don't exist in a vacuum & access to affordable childcare would have exponentially positive impacts on all of us. #cdnpoli

@CityOfNorthVan This is great! I'm excited to have a thingery in my neighborhood. I'm going to stop by and check this out. Do you have event info posted somewhere other than twitter that I can share with my non-twitter friends?

[Tanyss Knowles @tanyssknowles]

Candy canes at the seabus this morning. Thanks @BowinnMa for the holiday treat! Happy holidays, north van.

But both sound really interesting! Thanks for publishing such timely and important books @umanitobapress.

@ashleyjoannou A really nice pen?

When it comes to ride-sharing, let's do something new and different in BC!

"Ride-hailing on a non-profit basis...is an innovative way to get this balance right. BC has the unique chance to sidestep the ills of both the status quo taxi industry and aggressive multinationals."

Loving #housingcentral with these twins!

[BC Poverty Reduction Coalition @PovReductionBC]

Congratulations to everyone who has fought for poverty reduction legislation for a decade! The Poverty Reduction Strategy Act passed unanimously yesterday! Now encourage your representatives to implement a Bold & Comprehensive plan in the spring: https://t.co/YxdpLUPcN1 #bcpoli

@thidaleiper @Change Wow! This is appalling. My thoughts are with Anna and Makara.

[Tanyss Knowles @tanyssknowles]

Awesome to see LiT is still going strong and in the news! Great job @ByteYukon!

Happy Gender Equality Week. Women's unequal position in the economy puts us at risk of violence. High rents, low minimum wages, lack of affordable child care spaces are all things that keep too many women in bad relationships. #bcpoli #cdnpoli https://t.co/swnLxJwp5e

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

Elections should be decided by more than a few swing ridings. Every region and district should count.

Two forces of nature lit up Yukon’s night sky this week... northern lights plus a late season wildfire. Thx to Jason Gendron for capturing it in a time lapse video. #Yukon

[CMHA BC @CMHABC]
