Halfway to being a real party

Oof the BC Leg is off to a slow start this year. We look at the bills before the legislature and the private members bills, including one that has an above average chance of becoming a law.Then we look at the loophole left by Strata changes in the fall, some new money for communities and protections for forests, and a court win for governments that want to take stuff from the Hell's Angels.The real news of the week was John Rustad joining the Conservatives and RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki saying so long.We'll talk about the Emergencies Act Inquiry next week.LinksBillsBC official fossil possibleBC housing: Pregnant woman's age restriction challenges | CityNews VancouverJill Atkey tweetStrata corporations across B.C. look at 55+ restriction in wake of new rental legislation - Mission City Record B.C. building stronger communities with $1-billion Growing Communities Fund | BC Gov NewsB.C. introduces new measures on old growth, innovation, forest stewardship | BC Gov NewsB.C. expands old-growth logging deferral to 2.1 million hectares, promises greater First Nations collaboration | CBC News B.C.
