• Daphne Bramham: Civic chaos or more of the same? A look at the election results

  21-10-2018 23:26 via vancouversun.com
  After nearly a decade of alignment on crucial issues of housing and transportation, B.C.’s two largest cities are now at odds. Vancouver is yin to Surrey’s yang, while Burnaby (the third most populous city) straddles the divide.
  Housing dominated every race in Metro Vancouver and the civic election results indicate a deep divide over how to maintain affordability for low- and middle-income earners, how to house the homeless and how not to destroy neighbourhoods’ character and l

• PacNet founder fights B.C.'s attempt to collect cancelled tax rebates from her personally

  21-10-2018 22:38 via vancouversun.com
  The founder of PacNet Services Ltd. is fighting an attempt to collect over $2.5 million from her personally, money the province says the high-profile company owes for tax rebates it received between 2012 and 2015, but for which it no longer qualifies.
  Rosanne Day is asking the B.C. Supreme Court to reverse the provincial assessment and to declare she is not personally liable for any alleged failure by PacNet to send back the money, according to documents filed in court.

• Nanaimo Election Results: Leonard Krog's win is trouble for Horgan government

  21-10-2018 22:21 via vancouversun.com
  NANAIMO — Veteran MLA Leonard Krog won Nanaimo’s mayoral race Saturday, setting the stage for a crucial byelection that could decide the fate of B.C.’s minority NDP government.
  Krog’s pledge to clean up a scandal-plagued city hall and restore order to a dysfunctional local council carried the day with voters, earning him a margin of victory of more than three to one votes over the nearest rival, Don Hubbard.

• Violence in prisons will rise with the end of solitary confinement, warns guards’ union

  21-10-2018 22:09 via vancouversun.com
  The national prison guards’ union is predicting increased violence behind bars as the federal government moves to end solitary confinement — pointing to the recent assault of a guard at Kent Institution in Agassiz as an example.
  Jason Godin, the national president of the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers, said attacks on guards and inmates have been increasing as the use of segregation has decreased ahead of new legislation to change the prison system.

• Where does Vancouver mayor-elect Kennedy Stewart stand on the issues?

  21-10-2018 21:40 via vancouversun.com
  Kennedy Stewart will be the next mayor of Vancouver, as the independent candidate emerged from a crowded field of 21 candidates, narrowly defeating the NPA’s Ken Sim. He will be tasked with implementing his agenda with a city council that’s split evenly between five right-leaning NPA councillors and five left-leaning councillors — three Greens, one OneCity and one COPE.
  So what is that agenda? Where is Vancouver headed under a Kennedy Stewart mayoralty? A look back at his elect

  21-10-2018 20:56 via vancouversun.com
  One of the first signs that North American environmentalists were uneasy about high immigration rates came from one of its best-known eco-warriors, David Suzuki.
  The Vancouver-based founder of the influential Suzuki Foundation was quoted in a French magazine in 2013  saying Canada’s immigration policy was disgusting because “we plunder southern countries by depriving them of future leaders, and we want to increase our population to support economic growth. … It’s cr

• Heavy advance polling wasn't prelude to improvement in voter turnout for 2018 municipal elections

  21-10-2018 09:40 via vancouversun.com
  Heavy advance polling in some locations and long lines at voting stations in other places hinted at a potential improvement in voter turnout for British Columbia’s 2018 municipal elections, but that didn’t really pan out.
  While Vancouver saw a 27-per-cent increase in advance voting ahead of the Oct. 20 ballot, 48,000 compared with 2014, and voting Saturday was marked by long lineups, it remained questionable whether turnout would surpass the 42-per-cent mark achieved in 2014.
