And yet they held on to the lie that it was wasn’t happening. 🤦♂️ #bcpoli
After almost two years of denials and deflection, a leaked internal health ministry doc lays bare what the NDP have refused to admit: Safe supply drugs are being trafficked by organized crime. My latest in @TheOrcaBC @Glacier_Media: https://t.co/N1CgdijM8T

A commentary by a Victoria city council member in the @timescolonist centered around the Crystal Pool referendum… “I didn’t lie and I want an apology” “At the Jan. 23 council meeting, Coun. Jeremy Caradonna accused me of lying to the public. I did not lie. In order to clear

I did some calculations this morning and based on the municipal finance rate over 20 years, it appears the actual cost to the referendum borrowing is $253,644,241. Am I correct? So when we’re asked to approve $168.9 million, I wonder how many people realize the true impact of
