Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has ruled out another referendum on the province’s place in Canada after unofficial results showed a strong majority of voters favoured remaining in the country.
Bert Chen, the Conservative Party of B.C. candidate in Cowichan Valley, says his forestry knowledge and experience could help grow the local economy if elected MLA.
The B.C. Conservatives are promising billions in tax relief, increased health-care spending and a stronger resource sector under a costed election platform that forecasts a $10.8-billion deficit by 2029-30.
Preliminary results are in from Saturday’s municipal election for the Cowichan Valley Regional District, with two directors acclaimed and seven elected.
