Everyone running in October suddenly wants to reform Metro Vancouver goverment. Surrey wants a public inquiry. Candidates are signing accountability charters. Even George Harvie, who chaired the Metro board, is vowing change. Imagine what they're hearing at the doors. #bcpoli

Two days ago we celebrated Ernie Punch McLean. Today Punch has passed away. Even at 93 years of age I’m stunned by this news. I’m happy he got to hear how people felt about him on Wednesday at QPA, even though I’m sure he heard it regularly. #RIPPunch 🪽👊🏽

On tonight’s #NewsHour: @MetroVancouver seemingly more concerned with who leaked info on its leadership crisis — than the crisis itself. They didn’t want you to know the top 3 executives were either on leave, terminated or facing suspension. @CUrquhartGlobal #bcpoli
