AI transcriptions are like washing machines. Both technologies help solve a problem, but create new problems and new expectations about productivity. Washing machines are more efficient in many cases, but some items still need to be hand washed or dry cleaned.

Awful news out of Sicamous, as the iconic D Dutchmen Dairy was mostly destroyed by a fire overnight. 40 calves died. What a terrible tragedy for such a beloved business.

I need to talk about Sen̓áḵw. This word has been in the news for years, and I still hear it mispronounced constantly—by journalists, politicians, and well-meaning people who just haven't been shown how. It's a word from the Squamish Language. Let me walk you through it. 🧵

I cannot emphasize enough how much anyone interested in infrastructure and public transport should be reading this. People ask time and again why things cost so much and this is one of the biggest reasons. We solve coordination problems by throwing money at them.

OneCity's platform is out, and it's great. Tenant protections, public housing, and--you love to see it--"ending the apartment ban"! OneCity has a proven pro-housing record I trust. Please: vote for @lucymaloney.bsky.social. We need her progressive, pro-housing voice on council!

We must build complete communities by allowing six floors and corner stores across Vancouver.

This means ending the apartment ban. Using zoning tools to allow six-story apartment buildings across the city, especially in single-family neighbourhoods near transit, and allowing co-op, non-profit, and public housing to build higher and faster. Focusing on developing rental housing in neighbourhoods like Shaughnessy that have a very low population density and are close to transit hubs. Staff will be directed to approve these projects with no hearings required.

This also means expanding corner stores across the city. Allowing more commercial use at ground floor level (corner stores, restaurants, small-scale retail, cafes) and live-work spaces across all neighbourhoods, and planning more ground-oriented spaces.
