@RobShaw_BC @PierrePoilievre @CHEK_News Not a great interview at all - questions were good, but all we got back was lot of slogans, scripted talking points and way too many references to "common sense" and "bringing it home" - ended up looking and sounding like a paid political advertisement, not news :(

Reds fans, didn’t get to thank you for your amazing support of our team this year. I bragged about you on the bench to new teammates early in the season and you went above and beyond. We felt you all year, thank you.

When it comes to the Canada Pension Plan, seniors are saying to me, “It works for me. I know what I’m getting now and I don’t want to lose it.”

If elected Premier, I will bring legislation immediately to protect your CPP.

Your pension is yours.

What is wrong with @ABDanielleSmith ? A major reason for the lawsuit against @CBCNews was to provide her a reason to refuse to answer questions about her call with Pawlowski. Yet on she jabbers, coming up with her fifth explanation so far. Her staff must be going nuts! #ableg

For the first time in franchise history, the #Canucks have missed the playoffs in 7 out of 8 years.

They haven't played a playoff game in their home arena in eight years. Only two other fanbases have waited longer.

BC Conservative party leader Trevor Bolin has stepped down. Comes shortly after @JohnRustad4BC crossed the floor to become the party's first MLA.
Bolin says he wants to spend more time with his family.
Party now in leadership race.
I wonder if Rustad can be both MLA and leader?

I don't have a problem with remote work per se.

However, justifications I'm seeing are:

1) The housing crisis
2) Cost of living not meeting salary offered.
3) insufficient transit options.
4) public safety concerns.

Those are problems #bcpoli gov needs to solve, not hide from.

[Adam Stirling 11am-3pm Weekdays @Adam_Stirling]

Perhaps we can entice a developer to spend multiple years and millions of dollars in good faith to develop an exciting proposal for those lots instead, and then pull the rug out from under them after public hearing closes by approving a development they didn’t ask for. #yyj

[Adam Stirling 11am-3pm Weekdays @Adam_Stirling]

The downtown core’s financial viability is imperiled because of a reversal of Horgan era policies on remote work.

And there’s little if any prospect of anybody with the power to save it caring enough to bother…

People risk losing everything. Punished for loyalty #yyj #bcpoli

[Adam Stirling 11am-3pm Weekdays @Adam_Stirling]

At the end of Day 99, we can safely say this has been the most disappointing first 100 days of any BC Government in my lifetime.

VicPD’s warding off a yet another defunding attempt by a new Victoria council who won’t even write a letter without provincial blessing. #yyj #bcpoli

NEW - The BC Government has announced a new cancer treatment and detection action plan. This includes an initial $440-million investment to expand cancer-care teams, introduce revised pay structures and improve cancer screening programs. #bcpoli

@RobShaw_BC Just donated to your fundraising efforts as a three time rider and cancer survivor, I really appreciate you doing this year's ride along with @selinarobinson - best wishes on your training!

[Rob Shaw @RobShaw_BC]

When @selinarobinson announced her cancer had returned, I asked what I could do to help.
She said: Ride on my @TourdeCureBC team, to raise $ for @bccancerfdn
So, I will.
Never done it before. Don't even own a bike.
But here I go.
Pls donate here to help!
