Only West Vancouver is openly defying the province's multiplex zoning law, while a few other municipalities are banking on an extension. Translink screams that the sky is falling and the BC Conservatives will solve the day with an audit. And nominations heat up. Federally, we have a new labour minister and a report that Elections Canada is considering recommending changes to candidate nomination processes.
