B.C. elected Conservatives, but what if we elected no parties at all?

What if we elected no parties at all? The Northwest Territories and Nunavut already do. Their MLAs run as independents, pick the premier and cabinet by secret ballot, and the regular members act as a real opposition with real committee power.

Carmanah Walbran Park Current Access

2 Upvotes

Hi!

Hoping to visit the Carmanah valley and was curious about the status of the road(s)?

I read that Rossander main was cleared and good to go back in September but I was wondering if this is still the case as Google Maps seems to think otherwise.

Also curious if any south access (Port Renfrew) goes right now.

Cheers!

I really liked Nomad’s topographic wallpaper pack but wanted something closer to home.

It’s organized into a few different colour schemes with layouts for phones/tablets, smart watches, and laptops.

I’m still thinking about other areas to experiment with, and how to handle place names for instance indigenous names and so forth. Curious on any thoughts!

ADVICE NEEDED Question for Kei Van/Truck owners

4 Upvotes

I was hoping that some kei owners could give me their thoughts on how well they perform on the highway. I am looking to buy a 4wd Sambar and while it would be great for driving around Comox Valley I am not sure it is going to be a comfortable journey when I have to drive south the Nanaimo or Victoria. The Malahat seems likely to be a real struggle.
