I’m pleased the Park Board Chair has issued this letter, as recommended by the Board on Monday. I remain hopeful an apology letter will follow. Commissioners and Park Board staff deserve a respectful workplace.1/2 https://t.co/34SJht5J4Q

Venezuela killed the US. Or rather, it revealed it was already dead. In the history of the US’s relation with Latin America, what just happened in Venezuela is hardly unique: the U.S. government has intervened to change governments in Latin America a total of 41 times

Aboriginal Title is a property right. The courts are protecting them. Good faith negotiation with title holders to reconcile the Crown's interest is how you create certainty.

Behind the scenes at Vancouver’s new ‘park in the sky’! Last month, Park Board staff had a sneak peek at Oakridge Park, a 9-acre rooftop park which forms part of the redevelopment at Oakridge Centre. The space will be the first of its kind in Vancouver... 1/2
