Thanks Mike Howell @Howellings for a great synopsis of our last meeting today and for continuing to steadfastly cover civic government. It matters. I remember meeting you when I was on School Board and taking questions from your journalism students. With gratitude. 🙏 #vanpoli

Love this, @garymasonglobe 's indignant response to the question of CDN 'interference' in US politics and calling out the total hypocrisy. Spot on. 👏

These pyrotechnics plus Lorne Doerkson taking the stage as Fleetwood Mac (a band David Eby hates) sang out “yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone” made for some A+ audio and visuals at B.C. Conservative HQ last night. #bcpoli
Just now: David Eby says he will resign as leader of the BC NDP after tonight’s loss to the Conservatives – at Vancouver, British Columbia
With a Conservative majority looking like a distinct possibility as early results come in, the first song to play at the NDP event is, rather incongruously, “Taking Care of Business.”

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."
Notes from 40 years on the B.C. election beat, from the inimitable @VaughnPalmer — this is a great read as we wait for the election results to start rolling in tonight:

Great conversation with Vancouver’s Mayor-Elect Pete Fry today.
We’re ready to work together to build more affordable homes, and deliver more and better infrastructure across the city.
Creating more prosperity and a stronger future for Vancouverites and all Canadians.

I got to have a quick chat with the West End resident who helped capture the rabid #skunk in #vancouver and happens to be a @COPEVancouver volunteer.
They also got bitten.

A @COPEVancouver volunteer was responsible for capturing the skunk! Amazing work.

I'm just noticing that the BC NDP platform is titled "BC Strong" and the BC Conservative's is "Stronger BC."
Clearly there's room for another party to run on "Even Stronger BC" or "Strongest BC" or ....? #bcpoli
