Great tribute to Michael Coyle (@oplopanax.ca) up at CBC. Surely just a start. He'll be sorely missed. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
B.C. man who devoted nearly three decades to rescuing strangers dies in Squamish | CBC NewsMichael Coyle had worked with Coquitlam SAR for years and helped many other teams in B.C.www.cbc.ca
I only knew Mike through social media and it's clear many others also enjoyed his warm, humorous, thoughtful and incisive presence online I learned a lot about SAR and navigating emergencies through his posts and was gutted to hear about his death It's heartwarming to see so many remember him well

Most politicians dislike Mamdani because he actually loves the job. They love the trappings of the job but hate the actual work, so they don't do it. Mamdani, to their chagrin, sets a bar they can't meet with respect to showing voters what's possible with governance.
Kevin M. KruseOnce more: Mamdani understands that you can't just do things in politics and expect voters will notice on their own and thank you for it. You've got to work just as hard selling yourself to voters once you're in office as you did selling yourself to them to get into office. This is the way.
This is Mike's partner Sylvia Fuller - I am so sorry to say that Mike was found unresponsive while mountain biking yesterday and died despite the best efforts of other riders and Squamish EMS. Thank you to Squamish Search and Rescue for carrying him out and taking care of our dog. We are shattered

Derek PowazekFor anyone taking note of what’s getting posted to the president’s little homepage, I just wish you’d remember that lots of people post to that account, not just the presidential pissbaby, and their stated strategy is to flood the zone with shit, so reposting the shit is actually helping them.
worth noting that 1) The City of Vancouver decided to cancel all their regular meetings they would have in June so that everyone could enjoy the World Cup 2) City councillors then explicitly said when they returned to council a few weeks ago that they didn't want to work weekends or go into August
City DuoCall Unite Here’s efforts filibustering, or foreign interference, but they’ve successfully delayed over 850 city-owned rental homes proposed at the 2400 Motel as there’s simply not enough time for council to hear from #Vancouver residents before the election break #VanRe #VanCre
Sorry, can't do that here, WE'RE NOT AMSTERDAM YOU KNOW.
