Patricia Block and her daughter Amber

Moms battle to keep babies

As her first cries rang through the hospital room, her mother began to cry, too. Through 14 hours of labour, Patricia Block had refused pain medication so she would remember this moment: her daughter's cries, her bright eyes and chubby arms, the way it felt to hold her.


 

This Week's Question

What really happened in the B.C. election? -- ? Your View Last week's question, results.


 

Clark should go seat-less

Re: "Would our MLAs take one for the team," News, May 17.


 

Can Clark the Campaigner govern?

Along with pretty much everyone else, I thought the election last week was going to produce a result exactly the opposite of what actually happened.


 

Well done for making your mark

Having had time to catch my breath and reflect on the provincial election last week, I must say how very impressed I was with all my fellow candidates in Richmond-Steveston.


 

Feathering the nest

If there was every any doubt that Stephen Harper's Conservatives bear zero resemblance to the long ago reformers who railed against government corruption and pork barrel politics, the expense scandal that's engulfed Senator Mike Duffy has surely put it to rest.


 

Seniors need more help

I would like to congratulate the three MLAs that were elected to represent Richmond the Legislature on May 14.


 

Senate scandal flips finger to Reformers

"If there was ever any doubt that Stephen Harper's Conservatives bear zero resemblance to the long-ago reformers who railed against government corruption and pork barrel politics, the expense scandal that's engulfed Senator Mike Duffy has surely put it to rest."

Congratulations to Vicki Huntington (independent, Delta South) and Scott Hamilton (Liberal, Delta North) for their victories and the victory of democracy in Delta in Tuesday's provincial election.


 

B.C.'s biggest mosque opens

The largest mosque in B.C. officially opened in Delta last weekend.


 

Newly elected MLA still not commenting

Newly elected MLA Jane Shin is still missing in action, leaving Liberals and members of the Korean community with many unanswered questions about her credentials.


 

Shin needs to come out of hiding

I am writing to you about Jane Shin with the B.C. NDP for Burnaby-Lougheed.


 

Pundits were wrong about Libs

Well, I was wrong. Along with pretty much everyone else (with the exception of a small B.C. Liberal Party campaign brain trust), I thought the election this week was going to produce a result exactly the opposite of what actually happened.


 

New Westminster's newest MLA preparing for the role

The city's new MLA is hard at work trying to get set for her new job.


 

Pundits were wrong about Liberals

Well, I was wrong. Along with pretty much everyone else (with the exception of a small B.C. Liberal Party campaign brain trust), I thought the election last week was going to produce a result exactly the opposite of what actually happened.


 

Harper owes all of us an explanation

If there was ever any doubt that Stephen Harper's Conservatives bear zero resemblance to the long-ago reformers who railed against government corruption and pork barrel politics, the expense scandal that's engulfed Senator Mike Duffy has surely put it to rest. Duffy's challenges with basic standards of ethical behaviour, not to mention the former journalist's professed difficulty understanding forms, are already well known.


 

The people have spoken

Well, I was wrong. Along with pretty much everyone else (with the exception of a small B.C. Liberal party campaign brain trust), I thought the election last week was going to produce a result exactly the opposite of what actually happened.


 

Killer's request opposed

With the provincial election over, relatives of three murdered children in Merritt hope the province will scuttle plans by their killer to move across the country.
