This is already blowing up in Halford’s face. Moderates say Halford should’ve asked Chan to resign his seat, while the far right members are posting that he’s committing “cancel culture.”

BC Conservative vetting process?

Keith Richards outlasts another one…

Heard my first “oh, it’s really only 10 am” of the day…

Seeing locals posting about how the attacks on Iran will impact the Vancouver real estate market…

RIP to a legend. Never gave a bad performance.

The world’s worst people are over on X exploiting Tumbler Ridge with transphobic horsebleep, including a BC MLA. There is no bottom for them.

Nothing says you’re ready to run an entire province than all of your leadership candidates tearing each other to shreds in the most vicious and public ways possible.

RIP Catherine O’Hara. Even if she was only known for her work on SCTV, she’d still be a genius. I can still hear her voice as D-list Vegas singer Lola Heatherton yelling “I wanna bear all your children!”

Happy Burns Day to those who celebrate!

Live look at the RCMP’s comms people after the head of the extortion task force actually went on TV and said “there is not a crisis” despite near-daily shootings:

My wife drinks warm pop. I just can’t with her sometimes. Is it just me?!

“instead allegedly contains restructured pork made from the animal’s shoulder, heart, tripe, and scalded stomach.” Mmmmm, scalded stomach… torontosun.com/news/world/m...

When you realize you forgot to tell your coworkers “see you next year…”

RIP to actor Isiah Whitlock Jr., who played Clay Davis in The Wire and said “sheeeeeeeeeit” with such style.

Shoutout to all the journalists working the Christmas shift today to keep us informed.

Well, it’s 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve, time to start my mall shopping:

This could be associated with the housing crisis, which has forced people to live in RVs and cars because they can’t afford regular types of housing. surreynowleader.com/2025/12/22/2...

So Chris Nolan’s The Odyssey includes a cyclops but angry nerdists are pissed that it’s not historically accurate? Have I got that right?

Politician who searched his own MLA’s phones looking for leakers is upset someone else is searching for leakers…🤔

RIP Rob Reiner, an all-time great. Just a stunning resume. He would be a legend to me even if it was only based on Spinal Tap. Then he knocked out Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Stand By Me, and so much more. This one really hurts.

Does anyone ever answer the bloody phone anymore?!?! Seriously, this is ridiculous.

Surrey has a new civic party called Imagine Surrey. Did its mayoral candidate start every sentence with “imagine a…” during his opening press conference?

A child who was struck by the driver of a commercial van in Surrey has now died. Another pedestrian death. This follows a cyclist killed by a commercial vehicle driver on Sprott in Burnaby this weekend. Please, drivers, use caution. Slow down. Pay attention.

So it’s being framed now that Rustad fell on his sword heroically for the good of the party?

BC Conservative MLAs now tweeting out tributes to Rustad this morning:

Me watching B.C. Politics:

Just saw an ad for a Metrotown condo building with the slogan “own the night” and I can’t stop laughing. I mean, did they actually go to the Metrotown area before they wrote that gibberish?

Was it silly to make this #SurreyBC family build a bike lane and sidewalk that only lasts a few feet? surreycitizen.com/no-common-se...

Highway 1 was slowed by a disturbing number of ostrich truthers all lined up to yell at the clouds. “Science? Whose science?” Was a popular sentiment.

I’m half Scottish, half Norwegian and both are headed to the World Cup!

Will be happy to never hear about ostriches ever again…

Yes, No, or Maybe? "Surrey developer pauses 1,000 homes, says prices can’t drop any lower and suggests a condo ‘bailout’ is needed" as told by @shinebox44.bsky.social #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanre surreycitizen.com/surrey-devel...

Telling my wife I can’t wash the dishes because they have to soak first:

Crushing news that Red Apple Market is closing after more than 30 years. A Burnaby Heights institution. Now I am terrified about the future of AAA Market just down the street. The absolute best place for fruits and veggies.

East Coast Jays fans at work today:

I’m not sure if people still celebrate this but feeling excited that I just got the Covid and flu jabs.

Excited to read this book by the exceptional @risingaction.bsky.social on a truly inspirational athlete. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Home office commissary was on fire today…

My latest for the Surrey Citizen shows how extremism has taken over support for some farmers. surreycitizen.com/surrey-compa...

The City of Surrey got hoodwinked into sending millions to a scammer who then tried to launder the money. Is this bad? It sounds bad. surreycitizen.com/surrey-defra...

Surrey police are trying to reunite a lost dog with their owners. Contact is the Animal Loving Care Centre Shelter.

My favourite Redford role was as the Sundance Kid. Just masterful comic timing, especially the lines “you think you used enough dynamite there, Butch?” and “one helluva time to tell me that.” Even this smile is hysterical. I will honour his life by watching it again tonight.
