0·8 days agoToday, I met with Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin. She has asked me to form the next government. We will, and we will work hard every day to earn the trust you have placed in us.

A nail-biter in the riding of Surrey-Guildford that is still too close to call currently has NDP incumbent Garry Begg leading Conservative Honveer Singe Randhawa by 18 votes.
I think it’s one of the new ones run by an AI prophet.
NDP: 33% men
Cons: 62% men
Green: 100% men
Please don’t feed the trolls.
I wonder if she will go on to support the Cons like their last leader?

Another election in the spring?
The BC Hydrogen Office website talks about both electrolysis and removing hydrogen from natural gas then storing the left over bits underground.
B.C. has several advantages for producing low-carbon hydrogen. More than 98% of electricity generated in the province is clean or renewable. This means B.C. has a significant opportunity to produce clean hydrogen from electrolysis.
B.C. is also home to abundant natural gas reserves and significant geological carbon storage capacity. These are necessary for producing low-carbon hydrogen from natural gas. With these attributes, B.C. can supply the growing global demand for low-carbon hydrogen.

From free standardized designs to building code changes to allow single stairways (Why North America Can’t Build Nice Apartments) to fixing outdated zoning rules that pisses off the NIMBYs plus hundreds of other initiatives, Ravi Kahlon has been an amazing housing minister.
Renters would pay an extra $1 billion within two years if the province’s rules were to be repealed after this year, says the report released Wednesday.

On CKNW in May, Conservative Party of BC Leader John Rustad said the province was “taking away the democratic right and the democratic vote” and that he would repeal the NDP’s housing reforms if elected.
BC is going to look very, very different in five years depending on who wins the next election.
They love trolling
Until we get a decent automod, I’m not interested in fighting off even more trolls.
The four-month timeline the government put in place with the new changes to the rental tenancy act made it so people buying properties with tenants couldn’t get a mortgage approved, because the timeline extended beyond the 120-day approval limit.
Sounds like it was bumping into CMHC regulations.

From 2019:
Battle brewing over Saanich landowner’s removal of trees for farm"For the past several months, Saanich staff have been working with a property owner on Meadowbrook Ridge to facilitate appropriate blasting, tree, and deposit-of-fill permits. On August 30, 2019, staff determined that the owner had proceeded with significant activities without the required permits.
We are taking these bylaw contraventions seriously and as such have conducted numerous inspections of the property and issued stop work orders to the property owner. Construction activities have continued in spite of this. Saanich is currently evaluating its legal options, and intends to take legal action to deal with the unpermitted activities on the property."
One by one, the cages are joined to a removable plywood tunnel that connects to the hutch. If a marmot won’t leave its cage, someone tickles its feet. “They don’t like that very much,” Taylor says. “But some of them are really stubborn and they won’t go in even with the feet tickling. So, you have to take the ultimate irritation measure, which is to blow on their bums … that always seems to convince them.”
