David Miller was a mayor of Toronto in the 2000s with plans for expanding transit - plans that were cancelled by the Premier’s brother when he took over as mayor

‼️My bike was stolen last night from 41st and Main in Vancouver ‼️ It's a tan electric Muli, very unique. No battery on it when stolen. Please keep an eye out in your alley, bushes, or Fb Marketplace etc. I rely on this bike and really hope to be reunited! project529.com/garage/bikes...

I know car dealers like to huddle together for safety but I never got why there - Kits is a relatively wealthy area probably but is it Bentley wealthy?

I would love to see a “Civ II (or III) Remastered” - the same gameplay but with better graphics etc. The new ones are just too complex to really be fun for me.

I'm looking for someone in Vancouver to do a very simple freelance radio/podcast assignment for The Sprawl this week. It involves going to a certain site and recording ambient sound with a Zoom (or something similar). Paid gig obvs. Any ideas? @jmcelroy.bsky.social

Vancouver has a similar service @evocarshare.bsky.social which is great. They're even cost-effective for weekend trips sometimes (there's a daily rate and fuel is included).

For my fellow BCers, it is a *legal requirement* that you yield to a cyclist in a bike lane when turning right. Even if you have your turn signal on. And also just the right thing to do.

There was also TEAM (The Electors Action Movement) - still sort of around in a revived form.

Something (well a few things) like the Corner Stone or all those corner cafes in East Van would be great.

And the back seat passenger always sits in the middle seat (so they can be seen more easily, I know), even though no one has willingly chosen a middle seat in the history of cars

If, like me, you were worried about the consequences of this, only the car is damaged in the end thankfully
