• Dear #BCNDP Don't like it when #CPC does attack ads. Don't like when you do either. My vote doesn't go to parties using attack ads. #bcpoli #
  • RT @lapinbun: TRIUMF: You'd need to drink 12l of rainwater every day for year to get dose equal 2 natural background radiation levels in Van #
  • RT @ianabailey: Jennifer Clarke, former YVR mayoral candidate, is Tory nominee in Vancouver-Centre; trying to unseat Lib Hedy Fry #cdnpoli #
  • Well, nice to know who the local CPC candidate is. I wonder if she'll fare any better than Lorne Mayencourt did last time around. #cdnpoli #
  • Cool! Vancouver-Centre has a Pirate Party candidate! Arrrr. #cdnpoli #
  • Also interesting: Libs, Cons, and Greens all are running big-name female candidates in Vancouver-Centre. Who will NDP run? #cdnpoli #
  • Rick Cluff is on the radio calling Harper's proposed income-splitting scheme "detrimental" to low income families? REALLY!? :headdesk: #
  • If something doesn't benefit a particular group, it doesn't benefit them. It's not DETRIMENTAL. Sigh. #
  • "It's really a subsidy for women to stay at home" – guest. Argh. $1500 is enough to do that? Really? REALLY? @CBCEarlyEdition #
  • Apparently Aidan's been learning the Canadian anthem as "…in all OUR sons command". I guess "thy" is too complicated for 5 yr olds. :( #

  • .@ElizabethMay being not invited to #elxn41 leadership debate is a farce. There will be public outcry and she'll be invited. Again. #cdnpoli #
  • If Harper is only answering 5 questions a day, how many members of the press does it really take to cover that? #cdnpoli #
  • I mean, the press should get together, volunteer one or two "lucky" members, and then go spend the rest of their time being productive. #
  • CBC's Keith Boag tells how the #CPC is lying, fear-mongering when they talk about the BQ being part of a coaltion http://bit.ly/g0yLb1 #
  • Once + a while I'm surprised when I agree w/ a columnist I usually am diametrically opposite to. Today: Pete McMartin http://bit.ly/dYX5lQ #
  • Income sharing for one-income parents. A good idea that won't see the light of day. But is it unfair? http://bit.ly/dYX5lQ #
  • Me: What do you want for breakfast? Q: Anchovies. Me: Anchovies!? Q: *Anchovies*. O_o #
  • Damning condemnation (again, notice a theme?) of the Harper Government … from Australia http://bit.ly/hCmKl4 (via @gmarkham, @jaski05) #

  • I see @translink will be playing with bus routes. The 17 is back to Cambie St Bridge but not UBC & the 15 is off the Cambie Bridge entirely. #
  • Pacific Nor'westers: Looking for recommendations for family-friendly accommodation in Seattle. Any suggestions? #
  • Don't like the CBC's political compass? Try this one: http://bit.ly/hdKetV (for @Scouter_Mike) #cdnpoli #
  • Awesome. I'm further left/libertarian than all our major political parties according to http://bit.ly/gK2Squ (-1.75/-3.59) #cdnpoli #
  • Ah, springtime. Histamines (not mine) and hairballs (also not mine). #
  • Huh. Apparently the Canadian media doesn't like being kept 40+ ft away from Harper, behind a fence at pressers. O RLY? #cdnpoli #
  • Seems like a very strange way to get your msg out: limit who can ask you q's, limit how many q's, banish media fr pressers #cdnpoli #
  • iPhone battery performance on 4.3.1 seems MUCH better than on 4.3.0. I wonder if it's real or did they just change how the indicator works? #
  • Harper's not going to the Royal Wedding. Is the GG going? #cdnpoli #
  • RT @gnb: Help elephants + give @GoDaddy the finger. My registrar of choice is offering $5 domain transfers until tmrrw http://bit.ly/ekPT6d #

  • [He means political opponents] RT @davidakin: .@pmhaper says if maj'ty: Will lay out three-year timeline to eliminate political subsidies. #
  • You know? I'd almost tolerate a $5 coin w/ Harper on it if we could call it the "Harpie" http://t.co/3ZXSfJX #
