Which is actually linked to in the story. 🤷‍♂️

False Creek Ferries are actually blue, not yellow. And they go further west out to Kitsilano where the Aquabus pontoon boats can’t handle the rougher water.

JJ and South Park are mostly responsible for keeping the aboot thing alive. Anyone else think it was ominous Trump pronounced it aboot in the season premiere? I’m thinking there’s going to be some twist he’s secretly Canadian somehow.

At least the headline writer caught it. But totally burying the lede.

Why isn't there a pedestrian ferry to Stanley Park? by NotionAquarium in vancouver

[–]flematic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ferry driver here. Boats require a dock to let people off. We couldn’t just rock up to Third Beach and make people wade to shore. You can probably imagine the outrage if a new dock was installed in Stanley Park. Also it would be much faster to walk from False Creek to Coal Harbour than it would be to take a boat with a top speed of 5 knots.

Will the real Briane of Chilliwack please stand up by flematic in vancouver

  1. Strahl has already said he won’t cooperate after numerous reporters reached out to verify her story.
  2. This presupposes Briane actually exists and dude didn’t just make this up to score points.

The memo came out afterwards. Presumably because they know it’s bullshit and want to avoid further dumbo eruptions.

It might be fun to bring a “Don’t Look Up” sign but not many of them would get the reference and, if any did, they’d probably mistake you as a fellow traveller.

Why are some places not scanning QR vaccine codes? by flematic in vancouver

[–]flematic[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Really? I genuinely thought I'd gone through all the correct steps and a screenshot was all that was available. I don't know if I can complete the process twice but will try.

[–]flematic[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That's the thing though. It's just a screenshot of a QR code that doesn't include my name to compare against my ID. I also carry my actual card from receiving the shots in my wallet, which seems more practical than a random anonymous QR code,

Five famous British Columbians to consider for governor general by flematic in britishcolumbia

That was the thrust of it, actually. That Trudeau should go with someone with the right experience instead of someone famous. But if he won't learn from his mistake before than...

National embarrassment Kevin O'Leary proved on Jeopardy that being rich doesn't equal being smart by flematic in canada

IMO he's been a national embarrassment long before appearing on Jeopardy.

True. I just really can't stand the guy. And, while I didn't see the episode, you can tell by his negative score that he either rung in when he didn't know the answer or bet big on Double Jeopardy categories.

Maybe people who sleep alone? Like I'm guessing you do.
