CONGRATS VANCOUVER CONGRATS SERBIA NOT YOU BC CONGRATS BRAZIL

The problem is Eby turned the orange column blue.

We need a better system for sure, but the system wasn’t the problem this time.

Somebody should have told Eby that he can resign without calling an election.

I can’t even say Eby has been a disappointment because he’s been exactly what I told Mercier he was going to be back during the phoney leadership campaign.

By the way, if you see a bike on the road, assume we are recording.

Twenty five percent is too high.

Last year I watched 14 vampire films in the lead up to Halloween. Has any vampire film come out in the past year?

Tone is everything. Here, I’ll prove it. Good job, Vancouver. Good job, Surrey.

It’s 9:20 on Sunday morning. In five hours we’re flying 11 hour to Hong Kong and the after a four hour layover we’re flying 14 hours to Vancouver. We land at 9:20 on Sunday evening.

The BCNDP promising if re-elected to do all the things they could have done instead of calling an election. Hey by the way how’s your grocery rebate.

We’re out for an evening walk in Wellington. NZ cops have set up a DUI roadblock. They breathalyzed every driver. Meanwhile our cops took our national public news for a ride along on their e-scooter crackdown.

Good morning from Wellington to everyone except Karen.

Christchurch was really nice.

This very tentative gargoyle in Christchurch.

Just put my ballot in the mail. FTR I voted NO on both plebiscite questions then didn’t seal it with my ballot so who’s the idiot now (it’s still Ken Sim).

There’s still time to rethink everything that I have packed.

If I can just get through today I don't have to be back in the office until October 19.

She can stay.

Less than ten minutes.

First Half general public registration opened 5 minutes ago. Curious how long it takes to sell out this year.

We're flying to New Zealand on Friday morning and we get there on Sunday afternoon.

Red sky in the morning ...

If you’re driving around to protest gas prices I assume it because you think they’re too low.

The entire executive leadership of my (pretty political) organization has been out of the country for over a week so "What'd I miss?" Monday is going to be fun.

The best TV series made that nobody watched.

Ahem, Mr. multimedia journalist knew exactly what he was doing framing that concert poster in his webcam.

Slow realization that I'm going to hear "cleaning up the mess left by Eby" for the entire remainder of the 2020s.

The reason the dash is a sign of AI is because LLMs were obviously trained off my LiveJournal. Also why they're always wrong, probably.

Shocked to hear Andrew Weaver is running as a conservative. Shocked, I tell you.

One of the worst parts (there are many) of this stupid provincial election is all the conservatives turning up to 11 the lie that they’re somehow fiscally responsible.

Back on my thing of grabbing some crime noir novels from our annual vacation destination. Paul Cleave and Michael Bennett. Ok let’s get go.

I have no idea who is going to be premier after October 24 but something in the wind tells me it’s not going to be David Eby.

Okay but what if it's David Eby resigning.

I don't get how the municipal and provincial elections concurrently is confusing. Dumb, sure. But confusing? Come on.

Gawd she's like a horror film villain. Just stay dead already.

Ding Dong

Syrupeans? Ok.

Dude VERY angry I didn’t cleat down for the jay waddling geese. Just say you hate cyclists man.

People who have been to Hong Kong, if you had 4-ish hours in Hong Kong what would you do? Asking for me and SC in a couple weeks.

Who was the bozo chanting U-S-A

Ah yes, private investment, famous for making services better and more affordable.

I had zero interest in Hyrox before.

Reviewing candidates for Park Board. 7/7 ABC candidates failed / declined (?) to provide contact information as per the City of Vancouver elections webpage.

New thing to think about while dodging unleashed dogs while out on my long run.

I guess it's somewhat comforting to know that AI will solve the climate crisis probably by winning the race towards a mass extinction event.

Every candidate for Vancouver Park Board should have to answer if they support locking public washrooms from dusk until dawn.

I listened to this yesterday and was nodding my busted noggin along nearly the whole time. I am alive because I was wearing a helmet but *obviously* wearing a helmet didn't prevent the dumb fuck in a truck from being a dumb fuck.

Won’t somebody think of the drivers for once
