Five years ago, this was the final week for @benwilsonthings at NEWS 1130. Station might not exist, but I still have a few of these.

Thanks, Bob. I agree!

Leaders thanking @ShachiKurl for a question is *almost* as irritating as a reporter/weather human/ or traffic person thanking the host who introduced them. To quote the great Peter Warren #GETONWITHIT

Good time at the pumpkin patch, and hey, probably the perfect weather for something like this. #mapleridge

So THAT’S what it is! #CestCoxynillaConfusion

Cody kept saying 'coxynilla' and I thought it's an imaginary friend. Turns out it's French for ladybug and he's really enjoying français. #cestvrai

I just read a news article and the author wrote (their words; they were not quoting anyone), “the election is literally exactly one month away,”

So, @EvoCarShare drivers are scary enough as it is… I just saw one driving down Burrard, talking on her phone (very much not hands-free!) and didn’t have her tail lights on! It’s dark out btw.

I sure hope the @RioTheatre is planning special #RockyHorrorPictureShow screenings this October in light of Mr. Curry’s passing. I LOVE Rocky nights in October.

Stay away from the Lions Gate Bridge. Walking down Burrard at Georgia just now, I saw a bunch of cruisers racing to the bridge. Not sure what’s going on but expect delays. #Vancouver

Wow, I'd never heard about Malcolm! Bentley, your dad was a class act.

My family opened up our house that day; a young man from Australia stayed with us for a few days. My dad drove over to the airport (we lived in Richmond so it was close) and found someone who needed a place to stay. Malcolm and my mum even kept in touch. #911Remembrance
YVR
@yvrairportSep 10
On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, hear the stories of what happened that day at YVR from the employees who lived it. How we came together as an airport to support stranded passengers and remember the community that opened their doors in a time of crisis: news.yvr.ca/yvr-employees-re…

“I was waiting for the words ‘exercise, exercise’, but they didn’t come”: YVR employees remember...

For those working at YVR on September 11, 2001, there was no watching history unfold from a distance. With U.S. airspace closed and dozens of flights diverted to Vancouver, 8,500 stranded passengers...
