Springtime

I've tried to delete my earlier post, but for the folks of you who might have seen it:

It's all good! The little guy went on a stroll by itself and knows his way home!

He is known to the West Vancouver Bylaw Division and they confirmed that he's all good.

Thank you!

Done! I've contacted them as well. At least via an online form that I had been linked to.

Thank you for your answer, but this is a bike and pedestrian path. It's not meant for cars.

These speedbumps are on a bike and pedestrian path. There shouldn't be any cars.

Thank you!

I've sent them an email to inquire about the purpose of these speedbumps and why there are so many of them.

This really seems to be ridiculous.

 

I saw these installed on the Arbutus Greenway today. This doesn't look in any form wheelchair, stroller, one wheel, skate board or bike friendly to me at all.

Is there any practical reason to build those barriers to justify making life harder for above mentioned groups?

 

Kleenex, the brand that became the generic term for facial tissues, is pulling out of Canada.

 

Harrison Fleming served Alberta premier Jason Kenney by barraging critics with hard-right insults and attacks.

I hate to direct traffic to them, but here is the Twitter link to what seems to be the video.

 

New signs emphasize strength and hope of Indigenous women and communities.

Families of missing and murdered Indigenous women in northern B.C. and an Indigenous social service agency have unveiled four new billboards to honour and remember the women and girls who've died or disappeared along a notorious highway that's been dubbed the Highway of Tears.

The route has been called the Highway of Tears because more than 40 women and girls, mostly Indigenous, have gone missing or been murdered along the 700-kilometre stretch of Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert in northern B.C. since 1969.

 

There is relief tonight that two children missing for weeks have been found safe and sound. For 11 days, an Amber Alert was issued, looking for any sign of them, and it was finally lifted last night when Surrey RCMP say the kids were located in Alberta. Grace Ke reports. (...)

(...) Abduction charges have been laid against the mother and her boyfriend in relation to the incident.

 

The project was previously rejected by the city in 2017 amid community concern about the tall building’s architectural disconnect with historic Chinatown and the lack of social housing, which has continued to motivate opposition. Proponents, on the other hand, believe the project will economically revitalize the area.

 

It is now officially termed as “being held,” with further spread unlikely.

That has allowed the reopening of the southbound lanes of Highway 99, although northbound traffic to Squamish, Whistler and beyond was still being detoured through the morning rush hour.

Personally I think, it should be generally ok to rip content of Reddit, but it should happen manually rather than via a bot.

  • Not everything that makes it to the top of a subreddit is quality content.
  • By manually picking and choosing what to repost here, it would give more control to the users of c/Vancouver on how to mold and grow their own community instead of just replicating what's over there.

We have the chance to create something new and distinct here in its vibe. A bot might hinder that.
