Yes!!!

Wonderful input from Nahlah Ayed at the #websterawards. "The biggest question we need to ask when we see information is-who wrote this?" And advice to young journalists "You have no business doing this if you can't put yourself in shoes of the people whose stories you write."

Just love coming home at the end of any day, and seeing this furry face greeting me at the top of the stairs! #lovebug #dogsofinstagram #myfurrybaby @ Richmond, British Columbia instagram.com/p/B7wRRHRBkGB/…

This was my reason for going downtown yesterday - an appointment I was determined to keep. Needed now more than ever, friends. Please think about donating! canadaslifeline #CanadasLifeline #blooddonation… instagram.com/p/B964bTahH0y/…

SOOOO proud!! CBCEarlyEdition announced the 'Best Neighbourhood in Metro Van' is Richmond Steveston: the area I support in my work Elections BC. Huge thanks @CBCStephenQuinn & Justin McElroy for this fun competition! (My pic of ClimateChange Steves Belted Galloway cows on the dyke.)

As a 25+ year Richmond resident there's nothing that says "Steveston" more to me, than fishing vessels in the harbour AND seeing your cows ClimateChange Steves ambling across the dyke, out to their pasture nearer the shore line. Fascinating that they could be part Muskox! LOVE them!!

For most of the day #VancouverBC was at the top of the list, but a few minutes ago we were eclipsed by our southern west coast neighbours. A sad distinction for all of us, as #wildfires2020 continue to rage, as well as the pier on fire in #NewWestminster bit.ly/3hxtcKC

NEW: The Public Health Agency of Canada is pleading with Canadians to heed its advice as a salmonella outbreak in Canada is continuing to cause illnesses, hospitalizations and may have even resulted in at least one death. thestar.com/news/canada/20…

Thanks so much for stopping by the #RichmondSteveston electoral district office Maria Rantanen!! To clarify, I was a Deputy DEO in 1991 & 96, then a 'full fledged' DEO for the election events after that! bit.ly/34uO5BF

And, at the end of a long process of DEO learning & prep, and then securing an office, pulling 10 incredible team members on board, then hiring & training a few hundred election officials - after GVD & final count - it all comes down to THIS... #bcpoli #BCelxn2020 #democracy

Please take a look at the following thread I'm about to retweet. My amazing niece, Madeleine, stood up to a man who was making loud, racists comments ICBC in Lansdowne Centre this afternoon, and I'm incredibly proud of her! #StopAsianHate #allies

More than 100 years ago since it was taken from their land, the Nuxalk Nation on B.C.'s central coast is celebrating the repatriation of a totem pole. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

Flagging this fun initiative, to support a cause I absolutely love. The Fur-Bearers have a 50/50 that's already well over $10k! Let's make it as successful as possible! (Tix are still available, but act fast! Cut off is March 24th!) furbearers.rafflenexus.com/s/0Pe_hbOT2b3A…

Maybe it's just me, but deep sea mining (digging up the ocean floor, destroying fragile ecosystems in the process) seems like a really bad idea. Dear Canada: please be a voice of reason, and #StopDeepSeaMining before it goes any farther. Greenpeace Canada act.gp/3lJUEga
