A former cabinet minister for the BC Liberals is set to be the voice to bring renewal to the party as Kevin Falcon has a (relatively) decisive fifth ballot win in the party's leadership contest. Meanwhile the BCNDP introduced a very stay the course Throne Speech.
And in Ottawa and across the country, protests are paralyzing the police and all levels of government and tearing the Conservative movement apart.
