My take for The Hub on the undecided #BCelection2024, some takeaways from the bitter campaign, and a bit of projection for leaders #DavidEby of the BC NDP and #JohnRustad of the Conservative Party of BC. #bcpoli thehub.ca/2024/10/22/kir…

Memo to progressives: past comments, no matter how outrageous or odious, are no longer disqualifying. That's the lesson of BC's election (and Alberta in 2019/23). It's time to start campaigning on what you'll do, not what they've said. #cdnpoli #bcpoli nationalobserver.com/2024/10/21/opi…

On this date 60 years ago, Doug Rogers of Vancouver won a silver medal in judo at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Here's my Globe and Mail obituary of Rogers, who died four years ago. (Tip o’ the toque to Jason D Beck.) theglobeandmail.com/sports/article…

Dr. Henry giving update on respiratory season in BC, encouraging those 6 months and older to get flu and COVID shots. Last Tuesday was record breaking day for pharmacies giving out vaccines (49,425 for flu & 32,434 for COVID).

Asked about criticism from BC Conservatives and ⁦John Rustad⁩ regarding infringement of liberties and rights during COVID, Dr. Henry says there has been some “collective forgetting” about how challenging the pandemic was. #bcpoli

Regarding the election, and still uncertain result, plus the pledge by BC Conservatives to fire her if they form government, Dr. Henry says that’s their prerogative, but her focus remains protecting British Columbians’ health. #bcpoli

VaughnPalmer You refer to "the call from the lieutenant-governor to form a government". That's not how it works. The incumbent government remains in office until and unless the Premier resigns. Only then would the LG call on someone to form a government. vancouversun.com/opinion/column…

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.
