- In the 2017 B.C. election, the NDP said increasing home prices was out of control and they would "moderate the market." They won the election. Then they had a bunch of clear policies to lower home values, and as prices fell, they said the market still needed to be moderated. They won re-election.

- Here's my story on the Village of Anmore, and the debate over whether to allow a development that could triple the size of a very unique Metro Vancouver municipality
