What's Happening With Kerry Lynne Findlay?

DAVID DENHOFF the campaign manager for former federal cabinet minister Kerry-Lynne Findlay has quit and thrown his support behind rival candidate Caroline Elliott.

Findlay entered the race with significant momentum. An ERG National Research poll released in mid-February showed her commanding a substantial lead among those considering a BC Conservative membership, capturing 44 per cent first-choice support — more than double Caroline Elliott’s 19.5 per cent. Though a recent poll put PETER MILOBAR and CARO

All leadership candidates are required to submit $40,000 in fees to the party by April 1, followed by another $60,000 April 18.

Candidates are also responsible for repaying any loans they might take out. As well as paying vendors, suppliers and staff.

“I’d be surprised to see Kerry-Lynne Findlay on the final ballot,” said Denhoff.

Late Tuesday night Findlay posted a response, suggesting she had removed Denhoff as part of restructuring. “David played a major role on our team. He was never the official Campaign Manager,” Strong campaigns are built on structure, accountability and execution. That’s exactly what we were addressing last weekend. David played a major role on our team. He was never the official Campaign Manager. When someone is asked to step aside, there’s a right way to handle it. Endorsing a rival on your way out the door isn’t it. That’s not principled – that’s opportunistic. "

Maternity Ward Closes Again

The maternity unit at White Rock’s Peace Arch Hospital is facing its sixth and longest temporary closure of the year.

Beginning this morning ( Wednesday, March 25, at 8 a.m. until Tuesday, March 31, at 8 a.m.,) expectant parents will be diverted to other care facilities.

Six days marks the longest the unit has been forced to divert patients since the closures became a regular occurrence.

Fraser Health says the diversions are due to an ongoing shortage of OBGYNs after “unexpected departures.”

The timing of future diversions is “dynamic,” Fraser Health says, and may be announced on short notice in reaction to unexpected absences and doctors calling in sick.

“If you are in labour or have a pregnancy concern, please call the Maternity Unit first. Our staff will direct you to the appropriate hospital for care,” said the health authority in a post to social media.

Juvenile bald eagle part of the West Beach rhythm.

This juvenile bald eagle has become part of the West Beach rhythm. Every so often it settles into that Gleditsia tree along the promenade, just hanging out above the walkway and watching the ocean like it’s checking on its territory.

People notice it, but not in a big dramatic way. Someone stops, looks up, nudges the person beside them. A couple of folks gather for a minute, then everyone keeps moving. Meanwhile the eagle just sits there, calm as anything, taking in the tide and the traffic.

Still in its mottled juvenile feathers, still figuring out the coastline, but clearly comfortable here. It’s pretty cool having a wild neighbour that drops by whenever it feels like it.

Is Hosting FIFA Worth It?

Steve Burgess

As excitement builds in Vancouver, the true costs of the World Cup are starting to show.

Vancouverites are being asked to pay a real price for these games, not just in taxes, but in disrupted medical care, heavier policing and lost access to public spaces. 

If residents can’t even afford to attend, it’s fair to ask: who are these games really for?

Fairies, Ogres and Trolls

While everyone thinks of the shorelines of Crescent Beach and White Rock as being the gem of the Semiahmoo peninsula, there is a very magical forest here that should be considered the hidden gem.

It is Redwood Park, located at 17900 20 Ave. overlooking the Hazelmere valley in south Surrey that Trip-advisor rates as the number two thing to do is Surrey, after Crescent Beach of course.

Friday Night @ The White Rock Community Centre

Power doesn’t just rule; it persuades.

In every era, those in power propagate a story. Today, that story has become so ubiquitous that it is invisible. It tells us that individualism is the highest good, that the market is always right, and that there is no alternative.

The Invisible Doctrine investigates the origins and consequences of this pervasive world-view. From economic policy to pop culture, we expose how this doctrine shapes our lives, limits our imagination, and tightens its grip on our future. It’s time to make the invisible, visible
