He would probably prefer it to be a “Blue C” next to the name to be eligible to vote.
Hui’s announcement Tuesday marks the beginning of the final chapter of the largest land deal in the province’s history, the scandal-racked 1988 sale of 80 hectares of former rail yards, the site of Expo 86, to Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing. The $320-million deal was intended to change the face of the city and open B.C.’s economy to Asian investment, and it accomplished both goals.
The sale to Li Ka-shing began with a private dinner with then-premier Bill Bennett during Expo 86. From that point on, provincial officials drove forward to sell the lands as a single parcel, a process that nearly came undone when newly elected premier Bill Vander Zalm did all he could to help Peter Toigo, a friend and supporter, make his own bid.
Wow, that was a trip down memory lane. What a corrupt bunch of bastards the SoCreds/Liberals/Bcups/Conservatives were and still are.
The B.C. NDP had suggested an all-party committee to review Elections B.C.'s handling of the count.
Rustad opposed it and suggested an independent review of the counting instead — while asserting he wasn’t disputing the outcome.

Today, 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.

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.
