Every city that provides public money to build a sports stadium should demand that the building be named for the city or the team in perpetuity. It’s ridiculous that some corporation that provides MUCH less money for “naming rights” than the public has put up gets their dumb name on the building.

Recently visited Hopcott Farms in Pitt Meadows, a multi-generational family operation. From cranberry fields to the butcher shop, it’s a great opportunity to shop local. When we #BuyBC, we get fresh products, support our neighbours and strengthen our local economy.

I complain about CBC, because it’s not perfect, and fair criticism is allowed and appropriate. But seriously, thank God for CBC in Canada. It needs to be protected.
