Elections BC slaps BC United with a fine for election disinformation over the ‘Fire John Rustad’ campaign from August 2024. The BC Conservatives slap Peter Milobar with a fine for a late deposit. And the NDP kills George Anderson’s private members bill but does take some steps toward allowing more housing. Federally, Marilyn Gladu embraces the red and the finance minister continues Canada’s oldest tradition.
