Ian Toothill runs Sense, an organization which started by fighting photo radar and is dedicated, so it says, “to traffic safety through education not controlling speed”. Somehow these two terms are supposed to be mutually exclusive. Dr. Perry Kendall is a BC Health Officer, who has that rare combination of information and common sense. He […]

We have seen their sort before. I certainly have. The story is that James Moore, the leading Tory MP, so we’re led to believe, is critical of Justin Trudeau and Thomas Mulcair, Canada’s opposition leaders, coming to British Columbia to talk about the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal.
