Hey @Canucks, maybe you wanna close the comments or delete the awful racist ones? Smh.
Meet Gurmoh, tonight’s @Canucksforkids Star of the Game presented by @RBC!
His family’s search for hope sparked a nationwide movement that raised or committed over $7 million in five months. Tonight, we celebrate this little boy who loves hockey, dinosaurs, and fire trucks, and the community behind his family.

Saanich and Victoria residents voted very differently in the civic election's plebiscite question on amalgamation.
Victoria backed amalgamation, but Saanich voters rejected becoming a single larger city with B.C.'s capital. #bcpoli #vanpoli

I got to have a quick chat with the West End resident who helped capture the rabid #skunk in #vancouver and happens to be a @COPEVancouver volunteer.
They also got bitten.

I had the chance to speak to a very brave ER doctor who has made some damning statements about BC healthcare.
This feels like a watershed moment to me for healthcare in the province. Something has to change.

Seeing so many folks post about ER wait times in BC, and last week, I had to go into RCH ER. Arrived at about 10 pm on Thursday night. Didn't get to see a doctor until about 7 am on Friday morning. The docs and nurses were great... but our system is REALLY messed up.

Lol @ the outrage at this very tame Pride month message. People are losing it over absolutely nothing. I even saw some prominent influencer here asking why "straight people" weren't allowed.
Dw, you're still allowed to fly on ANY flight you want, Karen. You're gonna be ok.
Our first all-2SLGBTQIA+ flight was a heartfelt celebration reflecting our unwavering commitment to inclusivity and equality, in the air and on the ground.
