Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Episode 325
I love TikTok. It’s a platform I post on regularly. I find it entertaining and I learn things too. Coming up with topics isn’t always easy, but I’ve managed to make it look easy. Unlike some content creators, I steer clear of stunts. In Canada, TikTokers can’t monetise their accounts, so for creators in our lovely country, it’s a true labour of love. Without the pressure to generate views, the platform feels lighter and more genuine. That said, content creators in the U.S. sometimes take things way too far in their quest for internet fame.

Some Vancouver residents can keep chickens in their backyard but they may want to reconsider buying a hen house for now.
The City of Vancouver permits residents to have a maximum of four hens, over the age of four months on a lot (no roosters). Owners must register their hens, get permits, and notify the city if they decide not to keep them.
The Animal Control By-law does not allow residents to keep any other fowl in their backyards. However, a spokesperson for the city tells V.I.A. that it is reviewing the by-law to include more specific details on what bird species may be kept in a backyard coop.
