Great memories of Hamilton and the @Ticats, but my loyalty has moved to the coast and @BCLions. Let’s have a great @CFL tilt.
Nice to have a dominant team to follow. Up 3-0 with a couple extra time minutes ahead. @WhitecapsFC deserve more fans at the games.
It is #pride night at the @WhitecapsFC game and I am grateful we are able to recognize and celebrate it here.
My latest for @lodestar_media is on the do-as-we-say, not-as-we-do @Dave_Eby government on bargaining with the @bcgeu: biv.com/news/commentar…

The @FIFAWorldCup is turning into a financial sinkhole for Vancouver and it doesn't help to pretend otherwise. My latest for @lodestar_media: biv.com/news/commentar…
What a run, and to emerge with integrity and a public trust that could have gone on and on. Congratulations, and thank you.
Congratulations to our friend @spaikin and everyone at @TheAgenda for a terrific 19-year run. #onpoli
At last, a Canucks championship.
ARTURS SILOVS IS THE MVP OF THE CALDER CUP PLAYOFFS! 👑
Would have been great for @abbycanucks to win the @CalderCup at home, but they have two more opportunities on the road. Let's get it done.
There ought to be viewing parties in the city of Vancouver. This is, after all, the @Canucks' spawning ground, with the team's future on the roster. For months it has been obvious the @abbycanucks were serious contenders. But no palpable support locally. Big miss.
The @abbycanucks have a chance to take home the Calder Cup Sat June 21 🏆 Game 5 kicks off at 6 pm & we’ll be showing it live at PCCC. "The Calder Cup is within reach—let’s show our support for Abbotsford Canucks & catch all the action together at PCCC!" said Mayor @BradWestPoCo
My latest for @lodestar_media (formerly @Glacier_Media) suggests that the @MarkJCarney and @Dave_Eby governments are moving with undo haste in fast-tracking projects and risking a loss of trust. #bcpoli #cdnpoli biv.com/news/commentar…
