Movement: Metro Vancouver Transit Riders @movementyvr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

This morning, both the BC Conservatives and the BC NDP ruled out a vehicle levy to fund public transit in Metro Vancouver. This despite the vehicle levy being commonly used in other cities, including Montreal, Seattle, and the bustling metropolis of Gatineau, Quebec.

Just watched the first leg of the new Amazing Race season #TAR39, all in Vancouver! It's a nice representation of the city's highlights.

As long as #Canucks finish bottom of the league with a 4-80 record… (Remaining wins: first home game vs MIN, both against TOR)

Well, that’s fine in a big city like Saskatoon, but I don’t know about a sleepy village like Burnaby Heights

Add the home game against MIN, and I’ll be happy with a 3-81 season for #Canucks

Random #canucks predictions for 26-27 63 points from 84 games (58 from 82 last season), remaining bottom of standings. STILL won’t win draft lottery -96 GD (-100 last season)

Manitoba is likely the last jurisdiction that can ditch the switch this year. CBC has maps that show the current state of the time zones. The winter ("standard" time) map is wild. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Am I just noticing the tacked-on advertising boards are localized for today's #RSLvsVAN on TSN? Think the rink boards that are standard in every NHL game

A dad ran the Guardian Mile race in Cleveland on Saturday while pushing his daughter in a stroller, finishing in 4 minutes and 17.7 seconds — nearly 9 seconds faster than the Guinness World Record, though the new record has yet to be certified.

30 years ago today, Fiona Apple's 'Tidal' was released. Raw, fearless, and emotionally unfiltered, it announced a songwriter who refused to play by anyone else's rules.

Yesterday was the 30 yr anniversary of Fiona Apple's debut album, Tidal, which is completely impossible because the 90s were only 10 years ago. 😭 #ImSoOld
