  • 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. :( #
  • Astonishing craftmanship: The Muppet Theatre Playset http://bit.ly/e4Avww (via @smuttysteff, @backstagerider, @thatericalper) #emilycarr #
  • .@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) #

  • 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? #

  • RT @gnb: Help elephants + give @GoDaddy the finger. My registrar of choice is offering $5 domain transfers until tmrrw http://bit.ly/ekPT6d #

  • .@kirklapointe, now @cbcombudsman weighs in on decision not to include @ElizabethMay in the #cdnpoli Leaders' Debate http://bit.ly/fZVYxQ #

  • Wait, I'm confused. The Harper Government has been found in contempt of The Harper Government? #cdnpoli #
  • Actually, being in contempt of Parliament shows what I've been saying all along: the Harper Cons are in contempt of the Cdn public #cdnpoli #
  • MT @Craig_F: No Westminster model Parliament in the commonwealth has been found in contempt, before today #cdnpoli #harpergoverment #
  • The @InfoAlerteBot cracks me up. #cdnpoli #
  • The increased driver distraction due to a rampaging 2 yr old in a rear facing car seat sounds more dangerous than front-facing! @shiral #otc #
  • Seriously. Both our kids absolutely hated the rear-facing configuration. A screaming, thrashing kid seems a way more dangerous situation. #
  • Ha! And now the geocaching bots kick in. Hi @GeoTicker! Where's your friend @gcbot? #
  • Check out Yoyomama where we drop some links to #geocaching with kids including @seanfunk, @buzzbishop, @geocaching101 http://bit.ly/fJXqjq #
  • Four, count'em, *4* different detours off the Off-Broadway bike route this morning. It's now the Off-Off-Broadway route #bikeyvr #
  • Disgusting. The Harper Cons actually have a manual on how to disrupt parliamentary committees. Disrespect EVERYWHERE. http://bit.ly/gEs8yL #
  • Doesn't seem the Liberals were much better. When will somebody get serious about Parliamentary reform? Please? #cdnpoli #
  • This can't be correct. RT @ericmargolis: Gallup/Ipsos poll finds 58% of Canadians but only 16% of Americans believe in evolution. #
  • In this day + age, how accurate is polling, particularly telephone polling? Who answers pollsters' calls, and is that group representative? #
  • Today's coding tunes: LSO playing Holst's "The Planets". Fun fact: Holst didn't write anything for Pluto. In the end, he was right! #
  • Wondering just what the heck is going on in federal politics this week? See http://bit.ly/eN95lj for the synopsis (via @sidschubes) #cdnpoli #
  • Paywall? What paywall? #NYT http://bit.ly/gAkMQS #
  • $150M in #bdgt11 to build hwy from Inuvik (pop 3,500) to Tuktoyaktuk (pop 900) in the NWT. Seriously? #RoadToNoWhere #
  • I guess, if the gov't was interested in using Tuk as an Arctic port, or as a coast guard/navy outpost, but don't think its harbour is deep? #
  • On the other hand, sounds like @jacklayton + NDP won't support the Cons' #bdgt11 I would rather they brought them down over ethics, tho'. #
  • The budget will not pass. Why is anybody bothering to talk about it? #cdnpoli #bdgt11 #
  • .@Nicole013 My prediction is no substantial change. My hope is rather different. #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • RT @courosa If ur a Canadian father w/ child b/w 2-6 yrs , pls help my colleague w/ his research via this 15min survey http://svy.mk/idoBG1 #
  • The poo-flinging has begun already + we don't officially have #elxn41 #cdnpoli Already tired of the ConBots telling us elxn is unnecessary. #
  • Very un-PC of me, but I cannot believe the charity that an upcoming #YVR SM event is supporting. Surely there are more imp issues to addx? #
  • Not engaging in this debate. 1) Personally regard "beauty industry" as vile. 2) Think there are many good charities in YVR. … 1/2 #
  • I do not doubt the charity involved achieves good results, improves lives. Given my personal beliefs, is not my charity of choice. 2/2 #
  • RT @suzannelittle: Please welcome @raffi_RC to twitter #saltspring WOOT (via @raincoaster, @rocksaltcafe) #
  • The Grouse Grind is under full winter closure. North Shore Search + Rescue is heading up trail to rescue ppl in sneakers who ignored signs. #
  • I really hope they get handed a bill for the cost of the rescue and an additional fine for stupidity and lack of common sense. #
  • Interesting, live i-view on CBC Radio right now about #cdnpoli #elxn41. Thx to Twitter, I seem to know more about what will happen than xprt #
  • Eg, xprt didn't know budget wasn't debated at all today, can't have budget-related vote until after Friday. Gov't will fall Fri, non-conf #
  • Today's Grouse Grind rescuees were German tourists who knew they were out of bounds. Apparently 3rd rescue this WEEK (via @News1130radio) #
  • While lamenting the cats' inability to open the can + feed themselves, I came to realization that it's the only reason they keep us around #
  • Trying to find information on VSB seismic upgrade, but *all* the links on @VSB39's seismic information page http://bit.ly/faQmqN are broken! #
  • Hey media-types: The BC's govt's school seismic upgrade report http://bit.ly/heOuqz says all "High risk" schools complete/started/soon 1/2 #
  • But list they give doesn't match the assessment list: http://bit.ly/gaq8jJ ! In particular, my kid's school is rated "High", no action 2/2 #
  • .@pattibacchus @VSB39 Why does the BC Gov't seismic upgrade progress report (saying all high-risk started/soon) not incl Tennyson? #
  • How many other schools, ranked at high risk of damage in an earthquake, have "fallen off" the BC Gov't list? #
  • In fact, there were 293 schools ranked at "high" risk in the event of a BC earthquake in 2004. BC Gov't says "all" high-risk is 121 now. #
  • Did I miss a reassessment, or is this a case where "high risk" doesn't actually mean "high risk". Good game to be playing w/ kids' safety. #
  • I have never seen a mess of broken links as the VSB web site. The level of sheer incompetence is astounding. #
  • If you get PAID to maintain a web site, I would think your first priority after "Is it visible?" would be "Do the links work?" #
  • And, no, I'm not at work. At home. Sick. Grumpy. #
  • Incompetence Over Evil: CDN politicians have long way to go to win back CDN public. Blog by @davemacdonald http://bit.ly/flvVKW #cdnpoli #
  • Ugh. I'm sure #sworcery is fun and all, but another term has been added to my global filter. "Games" that pollute my stream are annoying++ #
  • American Idol. W.T.F.!? Voters? Suck. Stupid. Crazy. #
  • In a few hours, our eldest will be 6 yrs old. Wow. But for now, bed. #
  • We are now the proud parents of a six year old. Happy Birthday Aidan! http://bit.ly/hCbGAU #
  • RT @somecanuckchick: John Baird just said that "the opposition has used the tyranny of majority" against the Canadian government… #cdnpoli #
  • How much contempt do the Conservatives have for the Canadian people, and Parliament? "Tyranny of the majority" sums it up entirely #cdnpoli #
  • John Baird's inflammatory and ignorant rhetoric is emblematic of what ails Parliament these days. What ever happened to decorum? #cdnpoli #
  • The Speaker of the HOC had no idea what riding Hedy Fry represented (mine, Vancouver-Centre). I guess she doesn't stand much, huh? #cdnpoli #
  • .@AlphaDrake Certainly not. But Dr. Fry has been in this seat for 18 yrs. The speaker has been Speaker for 9. I'd expect *some* familiarity! #
  • My CPAC feed died again. Does anybody have a good link? Or an audio-only link? #cdnpoli #
  • I'm enjoying @GillesDuceppe's speech. Not sure which word he used in French, but it translated to "recidivists" several times. #cdnpoli #
  • The "wait for it!" music on CPAC is so calming. Quite a juxtaposition to what is about to happen. #cdnpoli #
  • The Harper Government … uh, I mean, the Canadian Government … has fallen. But will anything change? #cdnpoli #contempt #
  • With Parliament dissolved tomorrow, who controls Canada's short-term foreign policy, vis-a-vis Libya, Afghanistan, etc? #cdnpoli #
  • Budget? Why is he talking about the budget? He was defeated on charges of Contempt of Parliament. That just shows more contempt. #cdnpoli #
  • Well, @M_Ignatieff's response was clear, but clearly not answering the questions put to him. #cdnpoli #
  • Not cool, Twitter. We were reveling in democracy here. #cdnpoli #failwhale #
  • MT @loxyisme: If any party promises to give me STV, I'm theirs. [DITTO #cdnpoli #bcpoli] #
  • Heading to the Bon Jovi concert thx to tix from @News1130radio! #
  • Shit. Should have checked the frigging date. Tix are for tomorrow night but we were told they were for tonight. Shit. #
  • Ok, thanks to the nice ticket resellers we got in on a straight exchange. W00t! #
  • Ryan Star opening for Bon Jovi in Vancouver http://campl.us/Lhw #
  • Jon's hair hasn't changed in 20 yrs. Maybe it's a wig? http://campl.us/Lip #
  • Wow, that was an awesome, high energy show. #bonjovi Thanks for the tix @news1130radio! #
  • RT @somecanuckchick: .@M_Ignatieff says, "This is a commitment to the Canadian people — I rule out a coalition government." #cdnpoli #elxn4 #
  • And with that, Michael Igantieff sentences us to another Parliamentary session exactly like the last. Suck it up and do something smart, pls #
  • Which politicians think most like you? Find out with Vote Compass: http://www.votecompass.ca. #votecompass #cdnpoli http://t.co/tDxhM8v #
  • Confused. Seeing lots of Twitter chat abt how PMSH is now just candidate, ridings vacated, etc. Who sets foreign policy right now? #cdnpoli #
  • .@InDistans Thanks, that's the best explanation I've heard. Although the idea of *secret* gov't rules about governing the country bothers me #
