@SethDKlein That's what they said in the UK, where @TheGreenParty got 4 MPs elected in the mother of all first-past-the-post 'democracies'.

Credit to the @BCGreens who have been on top of this issue of PFAS in BC firefighting gear/foam. We're lagging behind many US states on this issue.

EYE ON AMERICA: The gear and equipment meant to protect firefighters may be causing them harm. Now, Ohio has launched a first-in-the-nation program to collect and destroy firefighting foam made with so-called “forever chemicals,” or PFAS, that have been linked to various cancers

Why would elected local politicians in #WestVan balk at adopting a code of conduct, in contrast to any number of regulated professions? #vanpoli #bcpoli @NorthShoreNews @BrentRichter nsnews.com/local-news/wes…

Journalists are sometimes told: “don’t become the story”. In fact this is not about me but, as @kirklapointe writes, the effect on volunteerism in @WestVanDistrict @WestVanLibrary Board #westvan #vanpoli #bcpoli #volunteering nsnews.com/opinion/kirk-l…

"West Van’s residential and commercial hub has remained almost identical since the 1970s, as if village planning reached its peak at the same time as the Village People" Another excellent @NorthShoreNews Editorial. nsnews.com/opinion/editor…

@jaywalking @LawSocietyofBC This quote is remarkable: "It seemed to be rather well known in the community, but I made it very clear to everyone I was not running to be the executor of the District of West Vancouver. I'm running to be the mayor," he said. There you go, #westvan

@RimaMartinez_WV The problem is your pinned tweet is not nuanced, but seems to say you are against the pro high-rise candidates. "Don't vote for people who will for high rises on us". Would you like to explain?

@ATU_134 @MrPriceBC @VanVoices @RimaMartinez_WV When you say "#westvan is asking", it's actually a developer setting the market rental rate (I believe based on @CMHC_ca ). Do you believe the community should be subsidizing affordable housing? Some of us would support that, but unfortunately this mayor and council wouldn't.
