I’m in BC Ferry’s quiet lounge listening to a husband mansplain to his wife the viciousness of water buffalo. #blessed

Spent 12 hours with firefighters who work out of No. 2 hall in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
It's believed to be BC's busiest fire hall.
Remarkable experience on many levels.

Big ups to my former @VanCourierNews colleague @Howellings. He's one of the best in the game... and he also makes a mean lunch 🔥🔥🔥
WINNER ALERT!! - Best Community Reporting
- Investigation: Is Vancouver's Chinatown Dying?, congrats Mike Howell, @VIAwesome & Glacier Media
As usual, some great, insightful and thorough civic reporting from my old colleague @Howellings. And sadly, as usual, "voter turnout was 36.3 per cent" 😬
Kennedy Stewart first Vancouver mayor in 42 years to lose race to challenger.
ABC Vancouver's Ken Sim did Saturday what Mike Harcourt did in 1980 — he defeated a sitting mayor.

Realized I've been writing about the Downtown Eastside for 20 years.
So I reflected on those two decades in a column.

Tonight’s the night. The fine folks at Knowledge Network @kpassiton are airing my doc on artist Hinda Avery and her fantastic paintings of foul-mouthed elderly women taking on the Nazis. Stoked. knowledge.ca/program/hinda-a…

Something to remember the next time you drive down East Hastings: There's a direct line between the horrors of residential schools and the Downtown Eastside. #dtes #vanpoli thetyee.ca/News/2020/12/11/V…
There comes a time in one's life when you finally decide to get your @UVic_Alumni card 27 years after graduating, make a video about how you obtained said card and then encourage others to join you on the emotional journey. This is one of those times...

Last time I was inside Esquimalt’s Archie Browning Sports Centre was to see Fugazi. Twenty years later it’s where I got me some of that sweet sweet vaccine. Boom!
Stoked to announce that Bayla's Issues, based on Hinda Avery's comic strip, animated by @modmarty and voiced by @ellken2 is headed to Washington, DC next month for JxJ Washington Jewish Film Festival jxjdc.org/events/baylas-issu…
This happened in Nanaimo exactly 15 years ago tonight when we were allowed to spit beer on each other and in consenting adults' mouths. Happy night before Christmas eve, everyone.

Happy to announce that Bayla's Issues, the animated short film I directed and edited, has been selected to screen at the 2021 Vancouver Jewish Film Festival @VJFF in March. Everything will be back to normal by then, right? vimeo.com/439541618
Happy autumn! Made this vid exactly a year ago about the two-week period when people visit Cambridge Street in East Van to photograph the fall colours. Was surprised at the time by all the grumps online who complained about the phenomenon. Alas...

1. In April, @vancouriernews temporarily ceased production after 112 years as one of Canada’s oldest community newspapers due to COVID-19. A few weeks ago, that closure was made permanent, as well as the layoffs of all but one of its editorial staff.
12. But I would be remiss not to give a shout out to my earliest mentors and champions: Peter Ballard, Mick Maloney, Pat Coppard, @HughesFiona and @blinkwriter.
13. It has been a slice, Vancouver. And as my mom still tells me on a regular basis: take care of each other. #savelocalnews
