"The City cannot deny this rental request on the basis of the past rhetoric or views associated with the organizers. Doing so would expose the City to a Charter challenge that we would not succeed in defending." -CoK statement

.@cityofkamloops issues statement re: OneBC's rental of Kia Lounge this weekend, says in spite of city's stance against residential school denialism and hate speech, it was unable to deny the booking as it must "operate within the legal framework that governs public facilities."

Imagine being a Jets fan and watching the star you let get away last summer dominate the playoffs, must be so aggravating.

Full story out on the BC Conservative Leadership Race that wrapped up yesterday in Vancouver.
Sorry #Kamloops Peter Milobar has heard the rumours of a mayoral run, but doesn't plan on leaving Victoria anytime soon.
Area MLA's Stamer and Luck chime in on the importance of unity.

Breaking - Kerry Lynne-Findlay is the new leader of the BC Conservatives. 51-49 percent over Elliott on the final ballot.

[Michael Reeve @McIntyreReeve]

Tonight the BC Conservatives will announce their new leader in Vancouver. #Kamloops MLA Peter Milobar is one of five candidates vying for the position. @CFJC_Today is on location and will have updates throughout the evening.

Deep down, many denialists believe First Nations are out to either punish or ‘pull one over’ on non-Indigenous Canada.

That’s a personal opinion. The CFJC newsroom remains committed to treating the Le Estcwicwe´y story with professionalism, fairness, dignity, respect and care.

I try my best to tune out the low-level drone of denialist garbage that permeates these platforms, but today being a significant day, I'll make an exception.

A demand for accuracy from someone who calls us "local radio station CJFC" is hilarious. Two flubs for the price of one.

Today is the 5th anniversary of the 1st fake news reports that “bodies of 215 children” were found in Kamloops. (No bodies were ever found.) The 1st to report was local radio station CJFC. Here is the historic tweet that set off the biggest journalistic disgrace in Cdn history…

[James Peters @Jamloops]

Having said that, my opinion on the matter remains steadfast: denialist rhetoric is chiefly driven by racism. It stems from an unspoken belief only non-Indigenous scientists, historians and experts can be trusted to tell the truth.

Avoid Schubert Drive between Evans and Birch, as its closed right now.

RCMP, CSOs and #Kamloops Search And Rescue are all here.
