WATCH: MLA Jordan Kealy speaks after being charged with sexual assault. He says he’s innocent and will remain an independent (had been rumours of imminent rejoin of BC Conservative Caucus) will he fights the charge. #bcpoli @globalnews.ca

WATCH: Vancouver briefly had a monorail system. It had issues and we didn’t keep it… but some of the trains are still in service overseas today. globalnews.ca/video/118284... #Expo86

Sources: FIFA wanted level 4 motorcade escort for its president while in Vancouver (ability to go through traffic lights). That’s 1 level below the pope - but on par with 🇺🇸 president - and higher than 🇨🇦 PM. The request was denied. #bcpoli @globalnews.ca

WATCH: Goodbye to the #PattulloBridge. @globalnews.ca

It’s really too bad there are no characters in BC.

BC’s ports remain (largely) open to criminals. City of Delta report says CBSA checks less than 1% of container traffic coming through regional ports. I pressed Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon on this. #cdnpoli

63. That’s how many vice-presidents there are in BC’s 5 regional health authorities and @PHSAofBC. (Just VPs… not including CFOs, CEOs or presidents) #bcpoli @globalnews.ca

ICYMI: Why is pedophile Randall Hopley out again months after being re-arrested? As I reported last night, VPD recommended charge of escaping lawful custody—but BC Prosecution Service didn’t approve it. In the eyes of the law, it’s as if the May arrest never happened. #bcpoli

@cityofvancouver.bsky.social crews on scene this morning at the top of Balaclava Street assessing the dangerous beach access stairs Global News exposed last night. A second nearby public beach access was allowed to deteriorate so badly it’s been closed for years. #vanpoli

Incoming! On Global News at 11: The near disaster caused by a dump truck in #BurnabyBC today. Hear from the homeowner whose fence was demolished—and why he's been waiting for something like this to happen. Troy Charles reports at 11.

Healthcare in British Columbia tonight: - 3 ERs in Interior & Northern Health closed - Delta ER open for now, but source says there’s concern about staffing it this upcoming weekend. I reached out to Fraser Health 3+ hours ago—but still waiting. #bcpoli

As first reported on Global News at 11: Metro Vancouver’s ballooning administrative services budget—fuelled by more meetings and higher stipends for elected officials to attend those meetings. #bcpoli

When I worked at CKNW we were told to ‘retire’ the classic, black microphone flags on the right (around since at least the 1970s). But with NW moving to AM 730, the black ones - which don’t advertise a frequency - are on-brand again 🤣

How Metro Vancouver works, folks: Delta Mayor George Harvie isn’t at work this month. He’s in Hawaii on vacation. But there he is (in pink) zooming into this morning’s meeting (of less than two hours) so he can collect his $525. #bcpoli

BREAKING: Shielded by Metro Vancouver’s in-house security squad, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie bolted from our camera as we tried to question him about his pay. See the video on tonight’s Global News Hour at 6. #bcpoli

Remembering the Y2K panic - 25 years later. Tonight on Global BC News at 11 - a look at how we prepared for the switch from 1999 to 2000 in BC. #bcpoli #TVForBC

As I told the Park Board: I’ve never had more viewer feedback on a story. Ever. From retirees to railroaders, CEOs to children, the volume of electronic mail was stunning. And I work for the viewer!

I asked Vancouver Park Board GM Steve Jackson about the board's inability to keep the Stanley Park Train running: #vanpoli

NO TRAIN for Xmas. Park Board says it’s committed to beloved attraction’s future, but the fleet needs significant investment and/or electrification. Interesting fact: The green engine was bought second hand in 1964 and runs off a 1961 Ford tractor motor. More on Global BC tonight. #vanpoli

NEW: Surrey Police say a young child was nearby when the bullets started flying in Newton tonight. Child not hurt but a husband and wife - standing near the vehicle - were shot and taken to hospital. More on Global BC News at 11.
