I would like to be the fourth option whatever that is IDK. What I do know is Steven Guilbeault is a lot smarter than I am and he doesn't seem thrilled.
There seem to be 2 general opinions abt the MOU:
AB conservatives: The MOU gives AB everything we wanted
LPC supporters: MOU is great because Carney got pragmatic concessions from AB, but don't worry no pipeline will be built
Anyone else: The MOU gives AB conservatives everything they wanted

Make sure you ride your speed-regulated scooter on the road with all of the [we're too chickenshit to regulate] giant pick-up trucks and SUVs. Also, we needed to make ICBC rates cheaper so fuck you if somebody hits you. We're the BC NDP. You're welcome.
E-Scooters are not toys, and there are rules and regulations regarding their use in North Vancouver. All parents and riders should refer to this helpful infographic from North Vancouver RCMP and help keep our kids and streets safe.

Vancouver cannot afford nice things because we're giving half a billion dollars to cops next year.
In an interview this week, Ken Sim said that he had a list of all the times he said no to the Vancouver Police Department, and said a lot of their budget increases were out of the city's control.
We got the list. We looked at the budget.
Here is a fact check.
