James has been keeping this little part of the greater Seattle plan in his back pocket all this time and, when Ellie was going to be unavailable for a few days, it was the perfect opportunity to spring it on Denise. “Mission: Canada” was ON. Despite massive skyrises being constructed all around us, we managed some killer hikes in Mosquito Creek and Stanley Park. Vancouver was an incredibly clean city for its size and the views from the bridges and cliffs landed this “foreign” city on the long-shot list of our future possibilities.   Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0LY5k3G0n03N0pDtO8Zx72 Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/skiptown-all-stars/id1636817938  Amazon https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/c27fdc73-d7ad-495d-8931-3df036c4a8b5/skiptown-all-stars Google https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5saWJzeW4uY29tLzQyODYxNi9yc3M%3D Stitcher https://www.stitcher.com/show/skiptown-all-stars YouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYY1gCsalt6kItqF6yG2cqKJVLyGvW-OO   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skiptownallstars/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skiptowndenise Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skiptownallstars Twitter: https://twitter.com/skiptownallstar Web: http://skiptownallstars.com WHERE WE WENT: Lonsdale Quay Hotel in North Vancouver - Hotel was junky but it's above a market near the SeaBus ferry which was really cool. Mosquito Creek Park - great hike, and Roxy finally found her mojo here. Granville Island - great community market with tons of food joints and farm goods, local artisan shops and a pier where the locals and tourists graze together while overlooking the harbor. Thumbs WAY up. Stanley Park - As stated, this park has miles of gardens, views and play areas for the kiddies. It's pretty big and it was busy, but it never felt overcrowded. Denman Street - a solid few miles of every type of cuisine you could wish. So many areas in Vancouver are similar to Denman, but this street is right by Stanley Park so it's a no-brainer for visiting Euros, Americanos and whoever the hell else wants to nosh.

And on day 27 of the transit strike, at a half hour after midnight, a tentative deal that averted a full-scale strike by bus drivers, SeaBus operators, and mechanics at the Coast Mountain Bus Company. Unifor isn't releasing any details of the deal until its members hold ratification meetings.   Guest: Gavin McGarrigle Western Regional Director of Unifor   Let's find out what happened from someone who was there. Our Global News Senior Reporter, Janet Brown, joins us know to tells us how Unifor and the Coast Mountain Bus Company managed to come to a resolution.   Guest: Janet Brown Global News Senior Reporter

This hour, Translink CEO, Kevin Desmond, is meeting with Unifor National President, Jerry Dias. This comes as talks resume between the union and the Coast Mountain Bus Company at 2pm today.  In the meantime, commuters in Metro Vancouver are bracing themselves for the impact of tomorrow's shutdown of the bus and SeaBus network. And the owners of small businesses are figuring out what that means for their customers, and for their staff.   Guest: Muriel Protzer Policy Analyst for BC and Alberta, at the Canadian Federation of Independent Business

Both sides in the Metro Vancouver transit strike will resume talks in a few hours in the hopes of avoiding a system-wide bus strike. If a new deal isn't reached by tonight, there will be no bus or SeaBus service tomorrow through Friday. As we just heard from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, the strike could really impact local businesses in metro Vancouver. I wanted to learn more about what that impact would look like, so I spoke with a local franchise owner about what he's expecting…    Guest: Claire Allen Simi Sara Show contributor

Chapter 1

It's day 25 of the transit strike in Metro Vancouver. And as we know, there will be a shutdown of bus and SeaBus services later this week, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. This hour, Translink's CEO, Kevin Desmond, has told the public about extra resources that are being added to other parts of the transit network, to help keep you moving during the transit strike. He says there are more than 100,000 students who use transit to get to classes every day. And there are roughly 100,000 workers who use transit - and who do not have a car, or a driver's licence. So what's still running? SkyTrain, Canada Line, and West Coast Express will be operating. West Vancouver Transit will be running - but people there should keep in mind that the 257 Horseshoe Bay route will not.   And as Kevin Desmond wrapped up that press conference - he had this message for Unifor.

Day 21 of the transit strike in Metro Vancouver, as the region prepares for a potential shutdown of bus and SeaBus services on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday next week. The Premier, John Horgan, is calling on both sides in the transit dispute to get back to the bargaining table this weekend. He was speaking in the past half-hour. His comments come as the Coast Mountain Bus Company has sent out a statement this lunchtime, once again calling on Unifor to agree to mediation. This particular job action will not affect SkyTrain, Canada Line, West Coast Express or HandyDART service, or contracted shuttle services in Langley and on Bowen Island. It also won't have any effect on the West Vancouver Blue Bus system, which is operated by a different company. Metro Vancouver Transit Police say they will also increase staff to deal with any crowding at SkyTrain stations. But next week's shutdown will impact the 350,000 people who take the buses every day in Metro Vancouver. So let's find out now about the contingency planning that's being put in place - and how you can get around while services are cancelled.   Guest: Shawn Chaudhry One of the people running a Facebook group for SFU carpooling Guest: Selena McLachlan Director of Marketing & Communications, Modo Guest: Matthew Ramsey Director of University Affairs at UBC's Media Relations Department                        Guest: Dave Wharf Evo's Senior Manager of Customer Operations

Both sides in the transit dispute are back at the bargaining table. In a statement issued just before the talks resumed, Coast Mountain Bus Company President Mike McDaniel said the company remains optimistic common ground can be found with the union. He goes on to say that "while our current offer is in excess of public sector settlements in British Columbia today, we are open to improving our overall proposal at the bargaining table.  This includes building on the proposal we've already put forward to improve working conditions." This is Day 13 of their job action, with 10 more SeaBus sailings being cancelled throughout the day.   Guest: Janet Brown Global News Senior Reporter

The union representing bus drivers, SeaBus operators and others says it's prepared to return to the bargaining table with the Coast Mountain Bus Company Wednesday morning. Unifor spokesperson Gavin McGarrigle says the union is also serving notice that if Coast Mountain is not serious, job action will be escalated on Friday... One group that will be impacted by any escalation in strike action is seniors. Now, care providers are voicing their concern about the impact on those receiving home care and home support services.   Guest: Daniel Fontaine CEO, BC Care Providers Association

Chapter 1: Hot Question of the Day It's @SimiSara980's

The union representing bus drivers in Metro Vancouver, Seabus operators, and maintenance workers - and they have issued 72-hour strike notice. Gavin McGarrigle from Unifor says Coast Mountain Bus Company workers have demanded better breaks and wages for months, and have been ignored by the company. He spoke to Stirling Faux on the Jon McComb Show this morning. It will be the first transit strike in 18 years and McGarrigle says workers don't want to impact the public, but current conditions don't work in favour of passengers OR drivers. McGarrigle says at the moment a complete shutdown of services has been ruled out, so job action starting at 12:01am Friday will be targeted and could include work-to-rule. The Coast Mountain Bus Company tells Global News it will be working with partners on a contingency plan "should a worst-case scenario unfold".   Guest: Ian Tostenson  Ridesharing Now for BC President and CEO of the BC Restaurant and Foodservices Association

Chapter 1

5000 unionized bus drivers, Seabus attendants, and maintenance workers at the Coast Mountain Bus Company have voted 99% in favor of strike action. However, contract talks resume next week. They've been without a contract since March 31st, and are demanding higher wages, benefits, and working condition improvements. Before any job action takes place, the union must give the employer and the public 72-hour strike notice.   Guest: Gavin McGarrigle Unifor Western Regional Director
