Just upgraded to gigabit fibre internet with #Telus (from 300 Mbps which I actually reached consistently). Speeds that I'm now seeing with my #eero Pro 6E on my new #Pixel Tablet in #Vancouver as measured by fast.com:
#Mullvad (connected to their Vancouver PoP): 150 Mbps (what I had before)
Thanks to @msquebanh for the idea and example. Here is the rough outline of #gaza (perimeter 110km and area 636sqkm) superimposed on #VancouverIsland, facing the City of #Vancouver#yvr. It runs from Lantzville (North #Nanaimo) to Chemainus. Imagine the people of Vancouver ‘facing' that horror, that deseruction, that genocide, within sight across the Salish Sea.
If you were wondering why Prime Minister Trudeau came out today strongly against anymore civilian deaths because last night he went to a restaurant in #Vancouver and the restaurant was surrounded by protestors demanding a #ceasefire. He is listening to people. And now is being lambasted on Vassey Kapelos’ radio show for not sticking up for Israel enough by a bunch of 🦕 people whose livelihood is tied to Israel so…. That is where political punditry is @ in #cdnpoli
From Saturday. It actually got much louder than this, but once I started monitoring it of course the train was on its best behaviour. #vancouver#skytrain
I just tried and failed to get my 8yo kid into a doctor's office. And I want to talk about that.
I live in #Vancouver, #BC. #Canada. Many in the US see this as some kind of promised land, because there's a public health system. But it doesn't work.
It CAN work. I've also lived in Strasbourg, France. And in comparison, there my kid would have seen a pediatrician within hours of a call.
This failure is a POLICY CHOICE by authorities. Not some impossible social hurdle.
Hey #britishcolumbia#vancouverusland#vancouver, a new fast passenger ferry called Hullo launched today in Nanaimo and I’ve been trying to get them to reconsider their exclusion of power wheelchair and powered mobility device users, and people who can’t transfer or need to sit in their wheelchairs. Hullo’s operators maintain it’s a gov regulation, but I’ve found otherwise. I’m excited for Hullo to succeed, but not at the expense of disabled passengers. #accessibility#inclusion#bc
I have an 11 hour layover in a couple of days and it looks like it’ll be raining, what should I do to take the most advantage of my time there?! Easiest mode of transportation? tia!
Hey, if you’re in Vancouver, don’t plan anything much for tomorrow. Heavy snow starting 10PM, going on for 12hrs+. Accumulation: 15-20cm. The roads… it’s not gonna be pretty.

Mein Pick-up-Code im Frittenwerk ist #Vancouver, und ich frage mich, mit welchen drei Adjektiven man diese Stadt wohl am treffendsten beschreiben könnte?
I spotted these fine feathered flyers while out for a morning stroll at Deas Island (#Vancouver area). I experimented with using Exposure Compensation on my #FujifilmXT5 to help compensate for the less-than-idea lighting.
We just reached peak eclipse in Vancouver, 0.278 magnitude. Here's what it looks like! Amazing! I used the highest zoom level so you could really get a feeling for the moment.
