The majority (58 per cent) of British Columbians disapprove of Premier John Horgan’s decision to call an early election, according to a new poll from Insights West. The poll found that 30 per cent of respondents strongly oppose the snap election called for Oct. 24, while 27 per cent are somewhat opposed.

Despite the antipathy to an election being held a year early and in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, the poll indicates Horgan’s NDP remains the party of choice among British Columbians.

If the election was held tomorrow, 42 per cent of decided voters said they would vote NDP, ahead of 29 per cent for the Liberals, 16 per cent for the Greens and 12 per cent fo...

Clausen says protocols include a maximum of only 20 people per tour, or five bubbles of four, to allow for increased physical distancing.

“Masks are required for our underground train tour, but not required for the rest of the site, though it is highly recommended. Visitors must purchase their tickets online before they arrive, or call ahead to pre-book their tickets so we can control the number of visitors. We also have enhanced sanitation procedures in place, and have placed hand sanitizing stations and physical distancing signage throughout the site,” said Clausen.

The underground train tour and BOOM! Mill show are all indoors and under cover.

A total of 140 residents have died, which accounts for 62 per cent of the total deaths in B.C., which is lower than the rest of Canada, on average. There have been 654 COVID-19 cases in these facilities, with 295 of them affecting residents.

Those living in care facilities have had to deal with a lockdown and then limitations on visits, and the government has made changes to how the system works, such as limiting staff to a single site, that are designed to reduce the chance of staff and residents being exposed to the virus.

“Conversations about the sector clearly have a more pointed edge to them now, given what we’ve seen and experienced during the pandemic, but while it is more pointed, that edge has been there for a long time,” said McGrail...

The Independent Investigations Office on Thursday released its decision into the 2019 RCMP-involved shooting death of 54-year-old Kyaw Din.

Officers responded Aug. 11, 2019 to a reported domestic incident around 1:10 p.m. in the 12400-block Colemore Street in Maple Ridge.

Din was shot three times in the head and neck.

In a lengthy investigative report, the IIO said the actions of the police were reasonable and appropriate.

At the time of the shooting, neighbour Bruce Main said paramedics and police responded to a home across the street occupied by a man with a mental illness.

“He went off his meds and they called the ambulance,” he said.

Witnesses at the time said they didn’t know what precipitated the incident, but said it was not the first time police had responded ...

The B.C. Liberals had defended the levy for years, wrapping it in a “tolling policy” that was as arbitrary as it was infuriating to folks on both sides of the river.

But a few days before the official start of the 2017 campaign, the governing Liberals surrendered to the complaints. The payout would henceforth be capped at $500 a year for regular users of the crossings.

The New Democrats had been crafting a cap of their own. But when the Liberals came out with theirs first, something extraordinary happened.

“We’re going to get rid of the tolls,” declared NDP campaign director Bob Dewar to his team at party headquarters. “Find out how to do it. But we’re doing it.” 

Dewar was a backroom pro recruited by NDP Leader John Horgan from the party apparat...
