I am a husband, a father of 2 teenage girls, and a Canadian.

When I'm not building #statamic and #LaravelLivewire sites & apps, I'm at Crossfit, reading a book or shuttling kids around. Occasional traveller.

If you do not support diversity (in all its forms), I'm not sure we'll get along.

Oh, what was that?

You’re asking if we GOT OUR OFFER ACCEPTED on the new townhouse?

…

…

YES!!!

Now if only I weren’t so miserable with this cold so I enjoy the moment.

Speaking of which, I will only post news alerts today again. I really do feel crummy.

Don’t expect replies. Apologies.

To my treasured Canadian 🇨🇦friends here:

Thank you for making me feel so welcome all the time. Your kindness is cherished and typical of how we’ve been received in BC every day that we’ve been there for our extended stays.

Your overtures and brief tutorials on how Canadian govts work have been invaluable.

Your tips and suggestions are always so appreciated.

So a special thank you to those who have reached out.

Love, Laffy #Canada

@GottaLaff Wild, to have an attorney defending you that’s been indicted. What a world we live in.

So we just made our usual reservations for our next trip up to BC, #Canada, but something was different this time.

We didn't have to make them for a return trip to California.

Shit's getting real. #CountdownToCanada 🇨🇦

@Snowshadow "The polls also mark a big change in the NDP’s situation. This election looked like a cakewalk, with a divided centre-right splitting the vote and a big majority almost guaranteed. Most polls this year gave the New Democrats at least a 17 per cent lead over the Conservatives.

If the two recent polls prove accurate and that gap is much smaller, the NDP faces a tougher campaign challenge than anyone expected a few weeks ago." https://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2024/04/17/Earthquake-Shaking-BC-Politics/

@Snowshadow @GottaLaff

I'm from BC and follow politics, what's up?

@emd@cosocial.ca avatar

@GottaLaff @Snowshadow

In BC, the old Liberals were such a disaster (Christy Clark was quite corrupt & not great) that they had to rename, to the BC United. They won't be much of a factor cuz no one knows who they are and their big names have left. So it's most about the Conservative Party (not related to the federal ones), but IMO most folks are pretty happy w/ the NDP, not sure what the Conservatives would have to promise to swing a lot of votes.

“Covert Chinese accts are masquerading online as American supporters of Trump, promoting conspiracy theories, stoking domestic divisions & attacking Pres Biden ahead of election..signal a potential tactical shift in how Beijing aims to influence American politics, w more willingness to target specific candidates & parties, incl Biden.

In echo of #Russia’s influence campaign..#China appears to be trying to harness partisan divisions to undermine Biden admin policies..”

Happy house hunting

Update on yesterday’s open house, for those interested:

👍🏼It went well! We got a good turnout and… one nibble! They want to see another house on Tues. If they like ours better, they’ll make an offer.

👎🏼BUT: After the heavy Calif rains, we’ve (well, a visitor) JUST discovered 2 leaks (paint buckled). Big expense coming up, and the repairs will come smack in the middle of the Wed. brokers open house, and next weekend’s open house.

So… ugh to that. Contractor coming today.

As Dave Wasserman would say, I've seen enough.

I need a break. Today has been unbelievably frustrating on this platform, so I'll post news if it breaks, but that's about it.

People, READ THE WORDS IN MY POSTS before commenting.

Please.

Good night.

I’m giving @Hiker_Scott a HUGE shout out. He’s been helping me privately with some new insights to Canadian dr stuff, unsolicited, and has been the only lifeline I’ve had when it comes to truly understanding how to eventually get a dr there when we move.

I cannot begin to tell you what that means to me, and how grateful I am esp in light of my current illness.

He lives in the town we’re moving to, so one day, I intend to thank him in person.

Send him your love. He deserves it.

@GottaLaff @Hiker_Scott getting a Dr is nearly impossible, if you manage it you've won the lottery!
