NEW - BC to introduce legislation tomorrow to enact David Eby's promised home flipping tax. Details not a mystery. Will tax 20% on income earned from properties sold within the first year, and then tax rate declines to end after second year. Certain exemptions apply. Starts 2025.

Remember when Mike Farnworth gave Surrey a deadline to accept BC's $250m "final offer" on policing and was surprised Mayor Brenda Locke rejected it April 9? Turns out, she HAD accepted the deal initially, then changed her mind. Here's the letter (had to file $10 FOI to get it)

Thank you @simisara980 for having me on the show this morning to talk about the North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant. Metro Vancouver has come to a crossroads. Major infrastructure projects are too expensive for the region’s taxpayers. CKNW megaphone.link/CORU1894223057

Hey City of Vancouver and Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation it’s 10:20am on a Friday and all of the gates at the Spanish Banks parking lots are locked. The only vehicles getting in are ones that can hop the curb. Is this what the new pay parking model looks like? CKNW

Very important for people speculating on X to read this - VPD says this was not an act of terrorism. 9 people are dead. Still awaiting the police news conference to start.

.David Eby tells Simi Sara he won’t be delaying or altering Bill 15 to respond to concerns from Indigenous leaders, after a meeting last night in which he told them the province remains committed to consulting them on major projects.

Last look Hudson's Bay | La Baie d'Hudson flagship store in #Vancouver. Saw longtime staff, many in tears, hugging and exchanging contact information. Shoppers lined up to look at heavily discounted jewelry while other people simply came to say one final goodbye. Globalnews.ca CKNW Simi Sara
