.@lanapopham has introduced legislation to restrict mega-mansions on farm land on the agricultural land reserve. Will also eliminate the 2-zone structure of the ALR the Liberals brought in yeras ago. And will crack down on placing/removing fill soil. #bcpoli

I’m at Fraser Cemetery in New Westminster where children are cleaning the headstones of WWI veterans. They gently use nylon brushes and lay a poppy on each one. They say they think about the soldiers’ sacrifices, and about how grateful they are they don’t have to go to war.

Cindy Fortin is declared mayor of Peachland over Harry Gough after it came down to a drawing of lots! Here’s the dramatic moment. Harry Gough accepted defeat gracefully.

A debate will be fun to watch; perhaps the Premier will tell us which of the three PR options he plans to vote for -- and explain why he prefers that one over the others?!

[Rob Shaw @RobShaw_BC]

Hearing rumblings we've got ourselves a tentative TV debate w/ @Wilkinson4BC and @jjhorgan -- Nov. 8, 7pm on a couple of major TV networks (*cough* CBC and Global *cough*)
Details, format, etc being finalized tomorrow, apparently.

Here is how we could avoid a federal byelxn when @s_malcolmson resigns her seat to run provincially in Nanaimo: The fed gov needs to announce a by-elxn date w/in six months of her resignation. But that date can be any point in the future. Such as - general elxn Oct. 21, 2019.
