  1. Glaring omission from Jubilee flotilla: waterskiing dog. ow.ly/1NbBSy
  2. Someone in New Westminster or Surrey is waking up, turning on the TV, watching 1,000 Thames boats and saying "let's do that in the Fraser."
  3. Why didn't B.C. send a Nanaimo bathtub to the Jubilee flotilla?
  4. Things I'd like to see (but won't): Sex Pistols with Sid Vicious hologram on Thames barge in Queenapalooza.
  5. Abolish the "car-tel." RT @geoffmeggs: New post: Taxiland: a deep investigation of the current Vancouver cab scene bit.ly/Lps46H
  6. No sweeps in last 12 finals after 4 consecutive. Home or away, LA & NJ are closely matched. Could be 5 games left. RT @BakesTakes84:
  7. Dear L.A.: a 2-0 lead is the worst in hockey. Signed, #Vancouver
  8. #KingoftheRoad ow.ly/1Na31N RT @AGMSports: 10-0 in the playoffs on the road #RoadKings #Yeahhhhhhh @LAKings
  9. Remember the last Western champ with a 2-0 lead in #StanleyCupFinal ? That's a rhetorical question... not trivia.
  10. Kings 2 Ba-da-bings 0 #StanleyCupFinal
  11. Congrats to @BCCLA on its 1st half-century anniversary.
  12. Q: Does @HockeyNight keep track of Ron & Don's OT scoring predictions? What is their accuracy rate? #NHL
  13. 2nd OT in as many games of #StanleyCupFinal at Prudential Center. No insurance goals, only tiebreakers in 2012.
  14. RT @AGMSports: Don't know what #Hoboken looks like but this is #SantaMonica watching #StanleyCup @LAKings ow.ly/1N9WlQ
  15. Why close Rights & Democracy agency, and open religious freedom office? Church & state should separate. RT @TonyclementCPC
  16. Why eliminate Public Appointments Commish and CSIS Insp Gen? RT @TonyclementCPC
  17. Where will the records they collected during their tenures go? RT @TonyclementCPC: Because those bodies will cease to exist. Thx.
  18. Man dies in Capilano Suspension Bridge fall. Rewind to Sept. '99 when baby dropped from wobbly tourist span. ow.ly/bk4A1
  19. Hey @TonyclementCPC - why excuse public bodies from ATIP via Bill C-38? Taxpayers don't deserve secrecy. bit.ly/LYTSle #canpoli
  20. RT @VancouverSun: A hiker has reportedly died after falling 50 feet into a river near #Capilano Suspension Bridge
