This is a great resource. My having assisted with a small bit of the writing plays no role in that opinion.

Congrats to the #2 ranked @VCIrishbball team who upset a very tough #1 @SemiahmooSec 96-88 to win the Varsity Emerald tournament! @VanCollegeNews @BCSchoolSports @htsumura @bcboysbball @theBCSportsHub @BCHoopScoop

@francesmahonlaw @BCLions Never. They’re just lucky the Lions quarterback is injured.

@francesmahonlaw Unfortunately the @BCLions offence didn’t show up for your first game. Hopefully a different story for the second half.

The ⁦@cbcpodcasts⁩ by ⁦@ramshacklefilms⁩ ⁦@raffertybaker⁩ ⁦@sarahberms⁩ on the Nuttall and Korody case is now on apple podcasts. You do have to occasionally hear me if you listen to it but it’s worth it. Quite the case. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/pre…

Get Pressure Cooker on all podcast platforms starting September 6th. Excited for you all to hear the stunning details of this bizarre sting operation that ensnared a couple of misfits from the suburbs, resulting in them being put on trial for an act of terrorism.

Success on a judicial review is always satisfying. @PenderLit bccourts.ca/jdb-txt/sc/22/…
