The BC NDP announced a wave of new LNG subsidies to try to do what the Clark Liberals couldn’t: Make LNG work in BC. Then BC has a connection to the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica data breach. Plus quick takes on polls and new gun laws (and more).

We didn’t obsessively monitor Twitter enough this week so we cut our #bestofbcpoli segment, please nominate Tweets for next week.
