"Federal MP & former #Vancouver mayor @GregorRobertson is being asked why, when he once pushed for compensation for businesses hit by Canada Line construction, he isn't offering compensation for Broadway line businesses."

Good question!!

My latest for @BIVnews: The country’s police forces may not be experiencing the same racial-bias accusations that plague our neighbours to the south but having fewer than two in five Indigenous Canadians agree on impartiality should be a concern.

Ever since Donald Trump’s combustive, combative second term began, a fringe idea has entered the mainstream: forget being the 51st U.S. state, what if Canada became the 28th member of the European Union? A poll conducted in March found that almost half of Canadians surveyed would support joining the E.U., with only 28 per cent against it. In Europe, various prominent officials are also keen. Read more about why even the notion of Canada joining the E.U. is significant: https://t.co/so5WJfCr3T
