We’re lucky to have free and fair elections On Thursday I had the privilege of attending the inauguration of Victoria’s newly elected city council.

The province responded by incorporating the region and opening the door for local municipal decision-making. My job as MLA for the area was to ensure that each municipality had the resources to fulfil its vision. These three individuals dedicated countless hours for the betterment of their communities, and in their own way have left a legacy that has notably improved the quality of life in Langford and Metchosin.However, we would be remiss not to thank Stew, John and Denise for their extraordinary leadership and wish them well in their future endeavours.

As we moan and groan and do little to help people who can not qualify for a mortgage, this is a viable option.
At the same time, large, wild, unpredictable deer with sharp and deadly antlers are allowed to roam at will, while people walking in their own neighbourhoods are told that it is their responsibility to “hide behind a tree” if necessary, to avoid being seriously injured.
