PHOTO GALLERY: It’s been a fun 50 years of photographing PNE for Craig Hodge, who has captured big concerts, one hungry circus elephant and so much more.
He even met his wife there.

NDP spends $100,000 a month on Vancouver hotel that lone social
housing tenant refuses to vacate. We’ve made him an offer says Housing minister Christine Boyle. An offer? Does it include a tuck in service and a mint on his pillow?
A semi hauling lumber on the Coquihalla (west of Merritt) caught fire and the highway has been closed westbound causing a traffic jam for km’s.

A must listen. 🇨🇦
🟥 MSNBC’s (MS Now) Lawrence O’Donnell is one of the best to ever do it. 👌🏼
Nobody can dispute that.
In this recent clip, one of his BEST EVER segments; he talks about Canada’s resistance to Trump’s bullying attempts and deranged attacks.
He praises Prime Minister Mark Carney and Canada - in that calm, stirring and deeply powerful way he uses to uniquely communicate truth....
🔳 “And when you listen, in a moment, to what the Prime Minister said, KNOW that you are listening to the international sound of resistance to Donald Trump. And know that you are listening to the sound of victory, over Donald Trump. A sound that will be HEARD in this country.
And listen to what that victory FEELS like in that audience of Canadians, who never expected to be rising up against an American Presidency...”

PM Carney responds to Trump's threat to Iran's civilization: "Canada expects all parties in this conflict to respect international laws, the rules of engagement and that means not targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure and we urge all parties in this war to follow those responsibilities."
