• It's the silly season again. Why does tax money keep going to people who insist on living on flood plains? Every single year. #
  • Brutal 8.5 hr meeting. What did I miss? #
  • Unbelievable. Imagine Layton as minority coalition PM! #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Just back from biz dinner at Sawassee Thai. Long day. Round 2 tomorrow. Be awesome to each other, mm'k? #
  • Susan Allan from @iPoliticsca is predicting doom & gloom for Hedy Fry in Vcr-Centre b/c leader is visiting in last week of #elxn41 #cdnpoli #
  • I don't see who would be competitive against her, though. The other candidates have been largely invisible. #vanctr #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • A few days ago, I predicted Harper OR Ignatieff would quit some time after #elxn41 depending who wasn't PM. Didn't think it might be BOTH! #
  • Huzahh! #
  • Apparently we won't be Tweeting the #canucks game tonight as Twitter seems constipated. #
  • After a few outstanding shifts, Kessler gets his bell rung by the puck. Great energy tonight! #canucks #
  • Dear #Canuck goalies. I don't care. Stay on the blue ice, please. Please? #
  • Really #LPC Layton and Harper as two sides of the same coin? Uh, out of touch much? #cdnpoli #elxn41 #watchingadsduringhockeygamesucks #
  • Great PK by the #canucks followed by a near-fatal giveaway by Luongo. Stressful! #
  • Wow. Just, wow. The Blackhawks are incredibly lucky to come out of that period only down by one. Crawford's been holding them in! #canucks #
  • Protecting a 1 goal lead in game 7 with 6 minutes left? Doesn't seem like a great idea. #canucks #
  • Burrows. Kesler. #keepers #canucks #
  • Sigh. #
  • Heh, you foul-mouthed Vancouverites. My tweet stream is rather coarse right now. The most creative of you only pulled out "Merde" :) #
  • Are. You. Kidding. Me!? #
  • BURROWS! #
  • I guess we can forgive the holding penalty, then, huh? #burrows #bygones #canucks #
  • Wipe the slate clean, put it all behind. Bring on Nashville. #canucks #
  • Noisy here in normally quiet Fairview Slopes. Fans on Broadway, or carrying across False Creek? #canucks #
  • It's a "Surprise! You're going to Seattle" kind of day. #
  • Ok, so I took all your advice. 60 min line at peace arch, sameish at truck xing. I'm at Aldergrove now, huge line, back almost to 8th! #
  • So, do I go to Abbotsford? @seanfunk @SlvrLambStudios #
  • Almost back to Canada. 10 hrs driving, waiting, 1.5 hr meeting. Hope YOU enjoyed your day! #
  • :facepalm: Crap, missed an important telecon. This week has been "one of those weeks" at work. #
  • Argh. The foolish anti-science lobby is at it again. BAN HAZARDOUS WIFI IN BC SCHOOLS! http://t.co/EiF6crJ Gah. http://plixi.com/p/96614366 #
  • The anti-wifi crowd is utterly stupefying. WiFi is ubiquitous in major population centres with no corresponding increase in illness. #
  • .@IanAMartin At my home, there are 16 wifi networks within range of my laptop. At work, there are 10. I think we're all pretty saturated. #
  • According to @308dotcom, Vancouver-Centre is projected CPC 23%/LPC 38%/NDP 22%/GPC 16%/Other 2% #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • As it comes time to choose who I'm going to vote for, the fact that the CPC isn't anywhere near likely to win the seat will come into play. #
  • #LPC can't have #elxn41 soon enough RT @308dotcom: If the NDP is going to plateau, it hasn't happened yet: http://tinyurl.com/3zlb966 #
  • Floating this: @M_Ignatieff has said he won't form coalition w/ @jacklayton. Has anyone asked @bobraetoronto if *he* would? #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • I mean, if things are going to go as badly for the #LPC as the polls say, Ignatieff might not be around for much longer. #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • And if Ignatieff is out, who might step up? And would they be friendlier to cooperation with an invigorated #NDP #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Ah yes. It's another "make up penalties to try to even the score" night in the #NHL playoffs. #
  • According to the NHL rules, clipping occurs when someone is checked below THEIR KNEES. That is some funky stretch to hip check below knees! #
  • Someone needs to give the ref a refresher course: here's what clipping should be http://bit.ly/iyiUuJ #canucks #
  • .@pattibacchus Hopefully you're treating it with the disdain that it deserves. The "wifi makes kids sick" idea is utter antiscience. #
  • .@pattibacchus The fact that it is getting any press is a reflection of the ongoing fear-mongering in society. #
  • .@pattibacchus See http://bit.ly/mbMJLU for example. The same "autism caused by vaccines" hysteria is behind the "wifi sickness" hysteria. #
  • And Friday throws complete failure of our VOIP system. Awesomesauce. #
  • Does anyone have a small-business oriented Asterisk support company that they can recommend in Vancouver? #
  • Ender's Game to be made into a live-action movie: http://bit.ly/iWTTbS #
  • The Postmedia (canada.com) websites' article pages still don't render properly for me with Chrome. I hate clicking those links. #
  • Which sounds obscure, but it includes the two local papers, the Vancouver Sun and The Province. #
  • Flipped through some pics of the Royal Wedding on my lunch break. I think Kate missed a big opportunity in not driving the Aston-Martin away #
  • Dear fellow Canadians: There is a world of difference btw NDP led "collaborative" gov't vs NDP majority. Chillax, ok? #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • In the end, if the NDP try to do crazy things with the budget, guess what? The Libs, Cons, and BQ will vote them down. #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Like board games? @drexollgames is closing their Poco store, and starting Saturday are having a sale to get rid of stock. #
  • These polls are getting pretty outrageous. #CPC 38/#NDP 33/#LPC 18 !? Is this an orange tide, or are the pollsters getting snowed? #elxn41 #
  • .@acourtroom Desperation, of course. And a lack of any common decency. Contempt, even #
  • The next time ConBots complain about a left-wing media bias, point out that major papers' editorial boards are calling for CPC maj #elxn41 #
  • To express my unhappiness at GAM & VanSun calls for a #CPC majority I'm going to cancel my sub's. Oh wait. Passed into obsolescence yrs ago. #
  • .@buzzbishop Who is the target for media endorsements? Who is reading a newspaper's editorials and doesn't know who they're supporting? #
  • Sand pile at the Ocean Concrete open house @ Granville Island http://instagr.am/p/Dtlfz/ #
  • Chaos now at Ocean Concrete. Somehow in the crowd, ran into @CBCStephenQuinn and the lovely @marshalederman #
  • Back home from @granville_isle to put the 2 yr old down for a nap. Great weather for Ocean Concrete's open house! Lots of ppl on the Island. #
  • Got a robo-call from the Hedy Fry campaign. Claims race in Van-Centre is close and needs every vote she can to avoid #CPC win. #elxn41 #
  • Now THIS is very interesting: Will #GPC Adrienne Carr win in Van-Centre? http://bit.ly/ln4P03 #elxn41bc #cdnpoli (h/t @kulpreetsingh) #
  • Changing my Tweetdeck filter from "#UFC" to "UFC". Oy. Vey. #
  • Dear Canucks: When does protecting a one-goal lead ever pan out for you? Let alone protecting it for 30 minuted. :facepalm: #
  • And the Canucks find offense in the last 30 seconds of the game. Where did that come from? At least they're well-rested for overtime. #
  • Wow. Vancouver sure has a knack at finding the red-hot opposing goalies. Two series in a row they've faced superstar goalies! #
  • .@petermansbridge is a two-finger typer? Well, that kinda bursts that bubble, doesn't it? #onlywatchadsduringsportsevents #
  • Are. You Kidding. Me!? #canucks #rinne #
  • Enough about the audience, what about the opera? RT @LeftCoastMama: 3rd act: the dresses are beautiful. Loved the couple in drag. #
  • #elxn41 and the rules of engagement : http://t.co/RmoraNo #
  • First of May, first of May. Outdoor loving starts today. #SanitizedForSensitiveEyes Watch out for randy squirrels and robins. #joco #
  • In case you missed it last night: #elxn41 and the rules of engagement http://t.co/RmoraNo #cdnpoli #
  • The rumoured #GPG #LPC horse race in VanCentre is having what is probably its intended effect. People are talking about voting GPC #elxn41bc #
  • Seriously. The Anyone But Conservative crowd seems to think that if the #CPC has no chance, a #GPC is not dangerous #vanctr #elxn41bc #
  • Escalating "stay in the bed!" war with the toddler: Removing all the stuffies, threatening to throw them out if he doesn't stay in the bed. #
  • Osama bin Laden dead. So? Does it make any difference? At all? #
  • With the "bin Laden" boogeyman gone, now who will the US hold up to drive fear and uncertainty into its population? #
  • This is an awfully — academic — and rational speech. Where's the BOO-YAH? #
  • "Waiting for Harper to speak" Really? What of importance does our lame duck PM have to say about this? #
  • Scenes of people cheering OBL's death. The similarity to other scenes of mobs cheering death is striking. #
  • Fox News reporting "Obama bin Laden" killed http://t.co/GgsypJG Seriously!? (h/t @sarahspain via @gnb) #
  • Everyone, shush. PM Stephen Harper is speaking! #
