ICYMI: Why is pedophile Randall Hopley out again months after being re-arrested?
As I reported last night, VPD recommended charge of escaping lawful custody—but BC Prosecution Service didn’t approve it.
In the eyes of the law, it’s as if the May arrest never happened.

A second nearby public beach access was allowed to deteriorate so badly it’s been closed for years.

When I worked at CKNW we were told to ‘retire’ the classic, black microphone flags on the right (around since at least the 1970s).

But with NW moving to AM 730, the black ones - which don’t advertise a frequency - are on-brand again 🤣

How Metro Vancouver works, folks:

Delta Mayor George Harvie isn’t at work this month. He’s in Hawaii on vacation.

But there he is (in pink) zooming into this morning’s meeting (of less than two hours) so he can collect his $525.
