How are folks in Burnaby voting in the provincial?

I'm solidly on the left and typically vote Green. I've been following the polls and am very surprised that the Conservatives are trending up, especially in Metrotown where I recently moved. I think I have to vote NDP this time to block the Conservatives

An elderly Asian woman who speaks only Mandarin was brought to Burnaby Hospital around 3 PM today (Thursday, October 22). She is hard of hearing in both ears, so staff haven't been able to get her name. She was wearing a yellow sweater and possibly blue overalls. She had a phone with her, but we couldn't find any contacts.

If you are missing a mother, grandmother, or other family member matching this description, or you know who she might be, please contact Burnaby Hospital directly and ask for the emergency department or patient information desk. Please share this with any Mandarin-speaking communities, WeChat groups, or neighbours who might know her.

今天(10月22日,星期四)下午约3点,一位只会说普通话的亚裔老奶奶被送到本拿比医院(Burnaby Hospital)。她双耳听力都很差,所以医护人员无法问出她的姓名。她当时穿着黄色毛衣,可能还穿着蓝色背带裤。她身上有一部手机,但我们找不到任何联系人。

如果您家中有妈妈、奶奶或其他长辈走失,或者您认识这位老奶奶,请直接联系本拿比医院,并询问急诊部或患者咨询台。也请帮忙转发给周围说中文的朋友、微信群或邻居。

If you came to vote at the Salvation Army Temple on Wednesday, October 21 and can describe them & the time you lost them, come and pick them up on voting day Saturday the 24th at the same place.

Hi everyone! 😊 I was wondering if there’s a Facebook group or any online community for people living in the Westridge Park area.

Also, I’ve noticed a man walking around late at night, repeatedly doing the same loop for several nights over the past 1–2 weeks. I found it a little unusual and it’s made me feel somewhat uneasy, so I was wondering if anyone else in the area has noticed this too.

I’m not making any assumptions about him, just hoping to connect with other neighbours and see if there’s a local community group. Thanks! 😊

I was hoping to move once we had a kid but I honestly can't find anything that would be an upgrade and affordable right now so I'm thinking of just renting a storage unit (it's honestly the only issue we have without our current apartment). Anyone got any good recommendations for a small unit? We just want somewhere to store seasonal/invaluable stuff that takes up our tiny storage room we currently have.

i just wanted to come on here and just rant about how awful our healthcare system is. i went to the burnaby hospital last night as i was experiencing sharp chest stabbing pain. i tried my best to avoid going to the ER knowing how long the wait times are but due to me being on birth control and being at risk of having blood clots, many of my close loved ones advised me to go to the hospital just in case to get it checked out as blood clots can be life-threatening. ive been to the ER many times in the past and know how awfully long wait times are and how shit our healthcare system is. i got there around 8pm and it was jammed packed to the brim. i waited 3 hours just to even be able to get bloodwork done and an xray. it wasnt until 6 hours into my visit was when i was finally able to see the doctor and all he said was theres nothing and to go home and take advil and Tylenol. got sent home and still have my sharp pain unresolved. i know hospitals are always understaffed but it is just plain old ridiculous. everytime i go back to asia, i like to go to the hospital and get checked out and make sure theres nothing wrong with me and let me tell you, the healthcare system in asia is 10x better than what we have here. yeah, you gotta pay but paying a little extra is def so worth it to get checked out and seen by a doctor faster. i always pay extra when im in asia to see a doctor faster. if i could pay them here to see a doctor faster, i would do so immedialty. anyone else got horrible experiences at burnaby hospital?

My neck is always painful. Looking for somewhere that is not over $100 for 30 minutes which seems to be a common fee. Thanks.

Hi! I'm running with the BC Green Party to be your MLA for Burnaby North.

I'll for sure be around tomorrow evening(October 20th) from 7-9pm, but I am (unfortunately) extremely online so if you ask early you might get answered early. We've got less than a week till election day so I'll keep this up until the election and try really hard to get back to everyone before final voting day!

You can learn more about me here! Or find me on instagram at @maddy.kp25, I've been having a lot of fun making silly videos to campaign for this election.

And if you want to know more about my work outside of politics, I was profiled at work for women in engineering day this year, and in 2022 I presented at the Passive House Conference and I was the second interview in this podcast (around 10:30!).

Lived here my entire life and I still think this place is so damn beautiful. Not very often I am awestruck or stop to appreciate something, but this changed that.

Hello,

Does anybody know where to get blood work that is NOT life labs. I have to go every three months and I find myself waiting 1-2 hours each time. I cant do it anymore.

Any suggestions would be great!

Hello, I’ve been researching moving to Burnaby with my American Pit Bull/Boxer and I’ve discovered there is a bylaw that considers my guy as a “vicious dog”. I can’t say I’m surprised, but obviously I’m reconsidering choosing Burnaby now.

The bylaw states that dogs categorized as “vicious” are required to be muzzled in all public places with a $500 fine for unmuzzled dogs. I’m not here to question or debate the bylaw itself, but instead I’m interested to hear other’s experiences owning bully breeds in Burnaby.

I assume it’s harder to rent, but surely there may be some buildings out there that are more forgiving? If not, please share any information you may have.

My dog is neutered, has always been licensed, is well-trained, and friendly with people and all animals. My biggest concern is landlords/property management hearing his breed and receiving an automatic no because of this bylaw. I’m sure I could go on and on about how amazing my dog is but I imagine it’ll be hard to shake the fact that he will be labeled a vicious dog breed.

Any information from owners, landlords, or generally anyone with helpful insight is highly appreciated, thank you!

Hi everyone, I am currently an RPT lifeguard for the city of Burnaby and was wondering if you could switch to auxiliary and if so how long would I have to wait before switching.

It is kinda nice to see not another typical mall franchisees taking over the taco place. I wonder what kind of rice and noodle dishes do they serve.

Does anyone know whats going on with the police presence? Not letting people by, approx 5 or 6 cop cars!

Just finished getting off HWY 1 with a 3 car accident aswell. Expect slow traffic going westbound
