Social Media

Now Donald Trump is back on social media, I'll have some good reading.  I really enjoy social media.  I find it informative and sometimes really funny.  Of course I don't believe everything I read but there is good and bad and a lot of interesting news on Twitter.  

Last night while reading Twitter, I found out Darlene Bennett (wife of slain nurse from Peace Arch Hospital who was killed mistakenly by a gang member in Surrey) will be on "Mornings with Simi" talking about the Surrey Police Vote.  Kristy Gordon Meteorologist at Global BC tweeted she is tracking a major storm heading to the south coast that has the possibility of bringing damaging winds!  Surrey School retweeted pictures of "what's inside a white pumpkin" and BBC Breaking News reported Queen Elizabeth was back at Windsor Castle after spending Wednesday night in hospital!  I didn't know the Queen spent a night in hospital and I hope she's okay!  There is some interesting good reading.

Here are some funny pictures posted on Twitter and Facebook:

This picture was posted on social media and was photoshopped.   Obviously it wasn't spell checked before it was posted.  The original picture was taken at Save On Foods on that infamous day when our mayor claimed his foot was run over by a car.  The "accident" took place before this picture was taken.  Funny, if my foot was run over by a car I wouldn't be putting all my weight on it while talking to Ivan.

This picture was on Twitter.  It was sent to Surrey Bylaws to report an illegal political sign and asked it be removed immediately as it contravened the new bylaw passed on Monday night.  I don't know where it is but it's funny!


This picture is self explanatory and I've emailed to friends who live in Surrey.


I don't tweet often.  I will retweet something I like but again, rarely.  Tonight I read a tweet from Richard Zussman a reporter in Victoria that covers the BC Provincial political scene and I couldn't resist.  

Mike Farnworth, MLA (I misspelled his name on my tweet on purpose) is Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General for British Columbia.  I lost track of the emails many of us sent him asking for transparency and a referendum on the police transition in Surrey.  He ignored all our requests and approved the transition.




Now back to reading Twitter.
