Hey @TransLink, I’m at 50023 Davie & Hamilton, why are there no 6 Davie buses heading west? At least 4 going the opposite direction have gone by while I’m waiting.
Hey @TransLink, I’m at 60530, Pacific an Jervis waiting for 23 Main St. Can you see why buses are running so late?
Hey @TransLink, I’m at stop 6530, Pacific & Jervis, can you tell me if the 23 is on time to restart service? Next bus is giving me times for the next.
Hey @TransLink am at 50023 waiting for a 6 Davie, can you see why it’s so late? (An 8:04 turned into an 8:14, no sign tho.)
Quite powerful!

Hey @TransLink , I’m at stop 60528 waiting for a 23 Main St. What happened to the last 2 scheduled buses?
So, not that I tweet a lot these days, but I’m joining others in the Sky, now that it’s not such an exclusive club: @derrickpenner.bsky.social. See how it goes.

On this day in 1993, Blue Rodeo's fifth album Five Days in July was released in Canada.
It became the band's most commercially successful album, and is considered one of the best Canadian albums ever made.
Let's learn more about it :)

Why even give this pinhead the time? What a clown. Security should have tackled him and dragged him away.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sounds amazing in this, you can see he is angry when his family vacation time with his kids is called a “story” and a “narrative” by a far right YouTuber who stocked him and followed him to BC from Alberta

RIP to a great one. Last December, he did an interview on CBC's Q show with Tom Power. Talked about his career, but also fact Canada Post had honoured him with a stamp, which he viewed as a crowning achievement.
With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.
Oof!

Barge now being wrangled by a tugboat, second incoming. @VancouverSun @theprovince
Both Coast Guard’s Kits Station patrol boats make the catch, hopefully stopping barge from beaching. @VancouverSun @theprovince
Barge redux? Happening right now in English Bay, @VancouverSun @theprovince barge adrift, Coast Guard on scene.
