When we are only able to fill 46% of full staffing and backfilling that with overtime burning people out we have a problem. Grow the training programs. Make the wage more competitive. More and more overtime is costing a lot more and just not optimal for anyone.

In BC we post ER wait times. We should do more. I challenge government and opposition parties to commit to posting wait times to see specialists, get imaging, and time to surgeries. It’s not to criticize but information is important for those needing and those paying for the…

We should have a law that requires realtors to state the realtor bonus commissions in the MLS write-up (not the private realtor remarks) - just to show how ludicrous it is Imagine finding a listing & knowing your realtor will get an extra $100K instead of you paying $100K less

@BenRabidoux The US views anti-money laundering as integral to its national security policy. Canada has no national security policy.
The problem in a nutshell. Upzoning with no requirement for social benefit is a god send for land speculators, not renters or first time buyers. From IMCL conference - Newport RI.
Does anyone else think politicians should disclose the amount of mortgage debt they have & the rate charged? If a politician approves a merger of a bank & ignores its money laundering allegations, shouldn't you know whether being a client is of note? @scoopercooper
I have done it. My achievement: a story that will make absolutely no one happy. City of North Van bans residents from speaking to council on redevelopments nsnews.com/local-news/cit… via @NorthShoreNews
@steeletalk I'm always curious how FIFA, one of the most corrupt organizations on gods green earth, keeps finding rubes to finance their activities? In a time when people are finding it difficult to put food on the table, we gladly will fund an event most people can't afford to watch live?
Curious to know how the City of Vancouver plans to pay for this? 😳 dailyhive.com/vancouver/2026…
NEW - FIFA World Cup 2026 will now see costs between $483 and $581 mil. This is up from between $240 to $260 mil projected in 2022. BC is also forecasting between $383 to $436 million in FIFA direct revenues. Province will cover the projected up to $145 mil in losses. #bcpoli
$581 million now, headed to a billion?
