Giving thanks today to Howie Hampton, my husband’s high-school BF, former Ontario NDP AG and party leader, who spent the last week doorknocking for me (here just behind me in our team shot at Britannia).
He def brought his own style of campaigning!

NEW - The @bcndp say they were unable to field a full slate of candidates in their own snap election.
92 of 93 ridings.
The party did not get the paperwork complete for Peace River North, where @JordanKealyPRN is running as an independent.
The @BCConservCaucus nominated 93 candidates.

It turns out in cutting 10c/litre in motor fuel tax in Metro Van, where the tax is only worth around 1.75c/l, the @bcndp plan actually cuts revenue from transit tax that funds @TransLink - which then has to be paid back to cover the loss.

BC Supreme Court rules that helping people stay alive is not illegal; in fact, it is courageous.
People at VANDU are jubilant hearing this news.
What a welcome relief from the regular programming that attacks drug users and those who support them.

.@Dave_Eby's popularity shoots back up in the wake of what pollster Angus-Reid calls the "Trump bump" - from a record low 31% in June, to 41% this month.
Comes also as @KerryLynneFindl drags down the @Conservative_BC

NEW - @MLABrennanDay becomes the 5th @Conservative_BC to quit the party.
Says "the current direction of the Conservative Party of BC under Kerry-Lynne Findlay is no longer something I can support" and has "lost confidence" in her leadership and ethical standards.

UPDATE: In response to the column this morning, the BC gov has pulled the directory offline immediately instead of the on the date it originally listed in its internal bulletin.
BC is cutting off public access to a decades-old gov directory of public employees, titles and structure.
@bcndp cites cybersecurity and employee privacy.
@BCConservCaucus refused to comment on the issue.
@elenoresturko & @PeterMilobar expressed concerns
