Education Minister Beare has installed a special advisor to rewrite Vic board of education’s rejected safety plan. Has until Jan 6 to get board to go along with it.

[Les Leyne @LeyneLes]

Education Minister Lisa Beare warned Victoria board of education this AM that if it doesn’t produce a better safety plan than the one it submitted she could use her authority to terminate them.

[Les Leyne @LeyneLes]

@JasJohalBC I was idly wondering why Premier Eby was wearing a party hat, dancing a jig on the front lawn of the legislature, and high-fiving security guards.

[Les Leyne @LeyneLes]

Education Minister Lisa Beare will be making announcement on school safety in the Greater Victoria School District tomorrow am.

[Les Leyne @LeyneLes]

It feels like this long-running issue has now gone next level

If NDP has trouble finding a Speaker, maybe it’s because MLAs are learning how fatal the job can be, from the BC Legislature website. (Long live Raj Chouhan)

Good to see Conservatives standing up for Elections BC. Party president, one MLA elect as well. Got same impression from John Rustad when I ran into him in Victoria Saturday night: expecting NDP minority or possible majority. He expressed no doubts about Elections BC.

[Les Leyne @LeyneLes]

I laughed at Conservative conspiracy theories, but now I realize Victoria road crews have a secret plan to block all my street access and quietly encircle me with roadblocks until I'm hungry, isolated and my will to live is snuffed out.
They're all in on it.

@wh0n0z @timescolonist I’m very alarmed about what I did to her! Hope she got it back together.

[Les Leyne @LeyneLes]

Idea! Capture Taylor Swift, make her do shows around BC for a month straight. Provincial budget would balance overnight. I'm a jeaneous.

Pro tip to the next premier of B.C. with a one-seat majority: Make sure your caucus members get in the ferry lineup early!

[Les Leyne @LeyneLes]

Premier Eby "absolutely acknowledges" that John Rustad spoke to the frustrations about affordability and crime and public safety.

[Les Leyne @LeyneLes]

Premier Eby said B.C. deserves a premier "that's going to bring us together, not drive us apart."
