Grits out – NDP in in BC

British Columbia is getting an NDP government.

New Democrats and the Green party teamed up to defeat the Liberals of Christy Clark in a non-confidence vote. Then the Lieutenant-Governor asked NDP Leader John Horgan to form a government. It too will be a minority with the NDP and three Green party members totalling 44 seats in the 87 seat legislature.

Indigenous protest

The Indigenous demonstrators who set up that teepee on Parliament Hill will be moving it to a safer location.

Police allowed them to set up near the eastern entrance to Parliament Hill, but then someone assaulted one of the activists yesterday. So now officials are trying to find a more secure location for the teepee.
