"For some, especially given the economics of the day, the $2 fee may be a hindrance. That stops now. For others, it will hopefully encourage leaving the car home and lessening our carbon footprint"
Bravo, Yarmouth!

Scammers abound, folks. 😬

Received this, but just spoke to Chris Coleman himself, who confirmed they are NOT holding an event.

If something seems off, it probably is. Check and confirm. 👍

The majority of women over 65yrs in Canada don’t rely on their own driving for transportation. Having other options, whether walking, cycling, or transit gives senior women freedom to get around independently in their own municipalities. #munipoli #SeniorServices Source tests.ca/driving-stat...

Nobody expected that #BCNDP would aim to push through top-down opaque overreach bills, to override munis in their governance & jurisdiction(s). Never mind #Bill13 land use, zoning, bylaws, #VancouverCharter + #Bill14 #antidemocracy #bcpoli #munipoli

Earlier this week, I asked Minister Ma whether she would be comfortable with legislation like Bill 15, in all its vagueness being introduced by a Conservative government

"It's not coming from [them]," was all she said

I predict the BC NDP will come to regret bills 14 and 15. They are buying an endless series of political and legal headaches here, alienating supporters, and handing detractors a steady stream of ammunition both on process and outcome.
