Interesting different takes from different journos. Last night @keithbaldrey.bsky.social listed possible leader contenders, but no mention of Gavin Dew. This morning @katiederosa.bsky.social mentioned him as a possible.
Certainly don't have my ear to the ground on that party, so we'll see.

Listening to Elenore Sturko on the radio right now, underlines what a class act she is.
Despite accusations against her, she still won't sink to their level, and instead she offers empathy and compassion to those who worked against her. 👏

An org was warned about issues & 🚀💰costs🚀💰 well in advance of a controversial action.
At the time it felt like the concerns of a knowledgeable group of women were brushed off - because those in charge 'knew better'.🙄
Bittersweet to hear tonight an admission that it didn't work.

Feel I'm being punked...in a pharmacy line-up, & 2 gentlemen that *appear* to be elderly are talking about weirdest/oddest/bizarre afflictions & injuries... anaphylaxis death, necrosis, broken bones from violence, penises, + more. I'm trying not to react, but... I'm waiting for the hidden camera.🤣

I just heard from the would-be victim of the would-be theft.
Thanks to the immediate action by the #VicPD members I flagged down, they caught the suspect in progress!!!!👏
The would-be victim is a tradesperson and it was his livelihood at stake.
He's happy. I'm happy. Such a good news story!😁👍

It's been a foggy afternoon on the Peninsula.... couldn't see Sidney Island, could barely make out James Island as a shadow. Inland was a spooky blanket of white as well.
Time to curl up with a book tonight - good thing I found one at the library! 😁📚

Also with his family, colleagues, other first responders #BCEHS, #DawsonCreekRCMP, & the civilians who assisted him.
Hoping for a full recovery.🤲🙏

went around the Island taking the #munipoli temperature of municipal Mayors, as to whether they'll run again.

Heard a really enlightening interview with Sgt Steve Addison @vancouverpd.bsky.social just now.
If people listened, they might have heard his defence of, and empathy for, DES residents. His assessment of situation seemed reasonable. Good work, VPD. 👍
