I was thinking it was Pluto looking for a loophole.

The four-month timeline the government put in place with the new changes to the rental tenancy act made it so people buying properties with tenants couldn't get a mortgage approved, because the timeline extended beyond the 120-day approval limit.

Sounds like it was bumping into CMHC regulations.

I went to see the one at the Nanton Lancaster Museum about 20 years ago. It is a seriously impressive aircraft.

 

The City of Prince George has previously experimented with bear-resistant garbage cans but has since abandoned the efforts, due to the cost involved and their lack of compatibility with the existing collection system.

 

The flower, also known as bog bird's-foot trefoil, is an endangered species under Canada’s species at risk act with its national population exclusively located in the Nanaimo area.

 

While Belcarra is close to two 'Bear Smart' communities, Port Moody and Coquitlam, Hodgins said RCMP are using this incident as a reminder for everyone sharing spaces with wildlife to do their part to prevent human-bear conflicts by securing attractants, such as garbage, and securing homes and vehicles.

 

Eby said Friday at an unrelated news conference that it's "extremely bizarre" that Weaver might favour Rustad, who says climate change isn't a crisis and was turfed from the former B.C. Liberals, now known as B.C. United, for his views on the subject.

On his party's website, Rustad says the "changing climate is real, and man is impacting our climate," but it "isn't a crisis," and the party will not engage in "over-taxation, hype, scare tactics" on the issue. He has also said he would prohibit teaching climate science in classrooms.

 

Amendments to the Competition Act that became law last month under Bill C-59 require companies to be able to prove environmental claims made to promote a product or business interest.

Schulz said the changes caused "a lot of concern for industry."

The British Columbia government has filed a class-action lawsuit against manufacturers of so-called "forever chemicals" it says are involved in the widespread contamination of drinking water systems.

Attorney General Niki Sharma says the province is the first Canadian jurisdiction to sue makers of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl, known as PFAS chemicals.

B.C. has filed similar class-action lawsuits in the past, targeting tobacco manufacturers in 1998 and opioid makers in 2018 to recover health-care costs associated with those substances.

From 2019:
Battle brewing over Saanich landowner's removal of trees for farm

"For the past several months, Saanich staff have been working with a property owner on Meadowbrook Ridge to facilitate appropriate blasting, tree, and deposit-of-fill permits. On August 30, 2019, staff determined that the owner had proceeded with significant activities without the required permits.

We are taking these bylaw contraventions seriously and as such have conducted numerous inspections of the property and issued stop work orders to the property owner. Construction activities have continued in spite of this. Saanich is currently evaluating its legal options, and intends to take legal action to deal with the unpermitted activities on the property."
