Thank you amazing #humansoftheworld !!!
Sometimes a crisis hits so hard that a country needs help from others to overcome it. That’s not one-way humanitarian saviourism, it’s international solidarity. 200 South African firefighters land in Edmonton, Canada to help fight the wildfire. Sound up 🔊

...and the best part is that @GlasgowAirport, and Airports and Airlines are disabling their helplines due to the number of lost baggage #helpnohelp #noserviceisntgoodservice
so it seems that checked baggage is the new spare sock in the dryer... @AirCanada @AerLingus ...and Vancouver @yvrairport and Dublin Airport @DublinAirport are the black hole of socks. #iwantmyluggagebacknow #icantdiveinmypyjamas

What do you know about how BC transit is funded? the link between road use and walking...parking... cycling? User pay and User costs? The impact of climate change on mobility? This is a great resource for learning more about 'mobility pricing' @MLR_BC
Curious about all this talk of ‘Mobility Pricing’? 🤔 Unsure what the news is discussing? We’ve got you covered. Head to our infosite, created to provide you with clear explanations and get you informed! 🔗: bit.ly/mobilitypricing #bcpoli #cdnpoli #vanpoli #cdnmuni

I feel so inspired and fortunate to have been part of a weekend of dialogue with the @MLR_BC mobility pricing event. There's so much to learn about and to understand when we try to figure out the "best steps" or "best road" or "best track" forward. Thanks to all the organizers!
So proud of the work performed by the @MLR_BC + @SFUDialogue team to make this weekend happen. There's a lot of from Metro Van residents to digest. Thank you to all the partners who contributed in various ways over the last yr (+ a global pandemic!) to make this a reality.

How's your recall? After almost 30 years... I just had my first enquiry about my Master's thesis... how cool and how frightening (as I can't remember a thing about it). #thesis #narcosis #no-recall#thesis #narcosis #norecall
Severe Flooding in the Pacific Northwest ... that led to a state of emergency in B.C. Supply chains and more disrupted for months to come. The full story with relevant satellite images here. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/im…
Be brave. As modeled by @georgeaye @SDinGov #SDinGov

It sounds like there's a pattern here... 2 hours! I'm at 1 hour and if they 'thank me for holding' 133 more times...I will scream. @CIBCInnovation #CIBCAventura
There should be an SLA on wait times for credit / reward cards to help customers select. For instance 'You can expect to stay on hold for 2 hours when trying to call @cibc Aventura'. I would then probably select another option. An additional feature for @ratehub!

Coastal North America just experienced an intense heat wave... wild fire follow. Now is the time to realize this isn't an experiment... it's reality. our reality and the reality of future generations. #timetochange

Watching @JoyceYee_Design deliver her inaugural professorial lecture @NorthumbriaUni (from my couch). Designing #socialInnovationin in Asia-Pacific whilst mindfully avoiding western design biases. Brilliant. And congratulations Professor Yee x

A wonderful listen to end my day. Give it a listen... so many thoughts to sit with on being a parent, on rest, on sadness and more. Thank you @_katherine_may_

The capacity to think & act for the long term is a modern privilege for the few. In an age of persistent precariousness, we the many was stuck in short termism and mal-consumption to feed and sustain our fragilities. #FutureInequalities
