The business I work for had flights, hotels, and rental cars booked for some of our employees which have to be rescheduled for several thousand dollars, not counting the later overtime from running late at the job site. I am quite happy to sit at home but I don't envy our admin team right now and I can only imagine the impact to other people and businesses.
William R Bennett Bridge closed since 4AM due to a bomb threat. Not expected to re-open until after noon.
A van has parked itself sideways, blocking the Eastbound lanes. RCMP has closed both lanes of traffic due to a suspected explosive threat. Current estimate for re-opening is in the afternoon after a bomb squad has arrived and inspected the van.
Update: Bridge has re-opened as of 2:25PM
This is a double-edged sword! I find online events will often be scheduled to coincide with 3-6 PM EST as people get off work, meanwhile that's 12-3 for me and I am still working dang it.
West Kelowna-Peachland candidates to attend public forum today from 7-9PM.

Perhaps if I platform on banning Albertan drivers I may have a chance.
So do I just not have a choice this October?..
I live in the West Kelowna-Peachland district (side note, did that change from last year?) and Elections BC only lists BC United and BC Conservatives¹ as candidates. If another independent or party does not step up, does this mean I simply don't get a choice this election?
