ICYMI: Why is pedophile Randall Hopley out again months after being re-arrested? As I reported last night, VPD recommended charge of escaping lawful custody—but BC Prosecution Service didn’t approve it. In the eyes of the law, it’s as if the May arrest never happened. #bcpoli

New details about WHY Randall Hopley is being given another chance in the community—just 4 months after his latest arrest. Watch Global News Hour at 6.

When I worked at CKNW we were told to ‘retire’ the classic, black microphone flags on the right (around since at least the 1970s). But with NW moving to AM 730, the black ones - which don’t advertise a frequency - are on-brand again 🤣

How Metro Vancouver works, folks: Delta Mayor George Harvie isn’t at work this month. He’s in Hawaii on vacation. But there he is (in pink) zooming into this morning’s meeting (of less than two hours) so he can collect his $525. #bcpoli

As I told the Park Board: I’ve never had more viewer feedback on a story. Ever. From retirees to railroaders, CEOs to children, the volume of electronic mail was stunning. And I work for the viewer!

I asked Vancouver Park Board GM Steve Jackson about the board's inability to keep the Stanley Park Train running: #vanpoli

NO TRAIN for Xmas. Park Board says it’s committed to beloved attraction’s future, but the fleet needs significant investment and/or electrification. Interesting fact: The green engine was bought second hand in 1964 and runs off a 1961 Ford tractor motor. More on Global BC tonight. #vanpoli

NEW: Surrey Police say a young child was nearby when the bullets started flying in Newton tonight. Child not hurt but a husband and wife - standing near the vehicle - were shot and taken to hospital. More on Global BC News at 11.

A visit to Metro Vancouver HQ is an experience: Stunning views from the 29th floor cafeteria, a beautiful living wall, library and gift shop. Metro isn’t a tenant; it owns the tower—purchased for $205M in 2015. #bcpoli

Metro Vancouver is halting staff travel—but not proactively. At 6 p.m. on Global BC: How a freedom of information request by Global’s Catherine Urquhart has put Metro into damage control mode. And why even the board chair was surprised by the trip. #bcpoli
