Nearly 20 years after Vancouver lost its NBA franchise, a Grizzlies superfan is hoping to start a movement to bring one back.

Kat Jayme, the filmmaker behind the award-winning documentary Finding Big Country, is organizing a rally to show local support when the NBA comes to Rogers Arena on Thursday.

That’s when ex-Raptor superstar Kawhi Leonard and his LA Clippers will take on the Dallas Mavericks.

As discussions with the province on a new contract continue, the BC Teachers’ Federation says as many as 400 teaching posts across British Columbia are currently vacant. The BCTF says other provinces are better able to compete for staff, because they pay their teachers more.

Liberals claim a vote for the NDP would result in a Conservative government

With polls showing a surge in NDP support, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau continues to warn voters away from the New Democrats. He says a vote for the NDP would result in a Conservative government.

To counter Trudeau's argument, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh says he would cooperate with any party, other than the Conservatives, in a minority situation. He argues voting NDP does not mean electing the Conservatives.

He met voters at the Turkey Trot run on Granville Island this morning, and then heads downtown to meet with striking hotel workers in the noon hour.

Conservative leader Andrew Scheer is campaigning in Winnipeg today.
