Wish public servants were given even a fraction of the gratitude and respect from the NDP that police are.

Sent a letter to my local MLA to encourage the government to make a meaningful offer to government workers and can confirm that it feels pretty good to do so! If you don’t believe me, you should try. #bcpoli #bcgeu @ninakrieger.bsky.social

No more concessions Mark. Instead threaten to bring back the Digital Service Tax that shouldn’t have been dropped if no concessions are made that benefit Canada. #cdnpoli

Despite all of Canada's concessions, there has been no indication that Trump will back down on his growing list of tariffs.

They’re no match for Bromptons. Didn’t count but must be 6 or 7 pairs, all were closed in one direction but on return somebody mostly opened one. Could always make effort to open all in one direction for a free-flow on return….

I heard about but forgot… always gotta leave something for next time though.
