Cam Brewer is the third candidate to enter the race to replace Andrew Weaver as leader of the Green Party of BC. We talk to him about why he’s running, why he thinks he’s best suited to lead the party and what he’s running on.

Then we look at the individuals putting themselves forward for nomination races for the BC NDP and BC Liberals amid polls and projections showing that John Horgan could shoot someone on Douglas Street and still come out with a majority government. And we launch our nomination database.

Plus the latest back-to-school news.
