We have heard the public's demands, and we will acquiesce. In place of those house ads we will increase the rotation of Circle K ads featuring the Sportsnet Central hosts who cannot act. We trust this resolves the matter.

You know how they changed the name of Ogden Point to ‘The Breakwater District’.

What about changing the name of Uplands to ‘The Money District’?

Whew, what a morning!

BC Conservative leader John Rustad confirmed to reporters that MLA phones were searched during a caucus meeting after concern about leaks

"Not every single MLA expressed interest, but the vast majority said, 'Yes, let's do this,'" Rustad said #bcpoli

Some people have asked why the expensive oils and lotions used at our spas smell like deep fryer oil.

Some people should learn that it’s unhealthy to ask too many questions.
