Minister @BrendaBaileyBC responds by saying "I would have been quite shocked if he'd not found an opportunity to milk this event. He's skimmed it right off the top and put it in his whole speech and I'm not just trying to butter him up. We could do this until the cows come home."

Every time I listen to Carol Todd speak about her daughter Amanda, I am reminded of how horrible people can be. The scale of the challenge is enormous, but we need to find a way to make the internet a safer place, particularly for children and youth.

My friend and her roommate are paying $3,100 a month to live in a small two-bedroom in this building. Not sure what the affordable units cost.

Hudson House, in the heart of downtown Victoria, is a fantastic new building with great amenities and design. With affordable apartments it’s the perfect place to call home for young couples, students, and families. A great example of how we are getting more homes built, faster!

The upside of slow break weeks from the legislature is that I get to hang out with a very good boy while I work. Downside, said good boy gets to question my priorities by doing things like putting his monkey on my lap or keyboard, knowing he has me wrapped around his paw.

The most popular premier in B.C.'s history @johnhorgan has officially announced he will be stepping away from the legislature in March, and, ever the Irishman, remarking that "St. Patricks Day seems good." Wouldn't rule out an appointment if the PM comes calling.
