  1. Paalala para sa nakatatanda: Nagbabala si tax expert Paul Sullivan na binago ng B.C. ang deferral program — binago ang interes mula "prime minus 2%" tungo sa "prime plus 2%" at ngayon ay compound interest, kaya ang equity ng may-ari ng bahay ay maaaring bumaba hanggang ~70% matapos ang 17 taon (kumpara sa ~7% dati); sinabing layunin ni Finance Minister Brenda Bailey ay hadlangan ang pag-abuso.

  2. Pagkakakaaresto sa Pokémon card robberies: Inaresto ang isang lalaki matapos umano siyang naka-commit ng 5 insidente simula Mar 23 kung saan nag-aayos ng meet-up sa Facebook Marketplace at gumamit ng bear spray para agawin ang mga card na nagkakahalaga ng libo-libong dolyar; naaresto siya sa isang entrapment noong Mar 27 at narekober ang dalawang card ayon kay Staff Sgt. Ryan Campbell.

  3. Tense sa Richmond: Hiniling ni Mayor Malcolm Brodie na magsulat sa papel ang Cowichan Nation na hindi nila luluwalhatiin ang mga pribadong pag-aari pagkatapos ng isang hukom ng B.C. na nagpatunay ng Aboriginal title sa higit 5.7 km² timog-silangan ng Richmond; nagpapatuloy ang apela ng pederal at probinsiyal na gobyerno at ng Lungsod ng Richmond; sinabi ni Attorney General Niki Sharma na nila itong tinatrabaho.

  4. Panalo ng Nuchatlaht sa Court of Appeal: Sinabi ng Temyang Hukuman ng B.C. na nagkamali ang lower court sa paglagay ng “arbitrary boundary” sa pag-claim ng Nuchatlaht sa 201 km² ng Nootka Island; binanggit ang libu-libong culturally modified trees bilang ebidensya ng mas malawak na paggamit ng lupa para sa panghuhuli at pangingisda.

  5. Cold case pagkatapos ng 17 taon: Pinatay si Wendy Ladner‑Beaudry habang nagjo-jogging sa Pacific Spirit Regional Park noong Apr 3, 2009; walang naaresto at hindi pa rin maalis ang posibilidad na random attack; hinihikayat ng RCMP at pamilya na magbigay ng impormasyon — tumawag sa 778‑290‑5291, 1‑877‑543‑4822 o Crime Stoppers 1‑800‑222‑8477.

  6. Identical twin step-in: Hindi kailangang mag-adjust ni Premier David Eby sa bagong mukha dahil tinawag lang niya pabalik si George Smith, ang identical twin ni James Smith, bilang temporary deputy director ng communications hanggang kalagitnaan ng Hunyo; umalis si James noong nakaraang buwan upang magtrabaho sa University of Victoria.

  7. Panukalang pansamantalang paghinto sa DRIPA: Iminungkahi ni Premier David Eby ang pansamantalang pag-pause ng ilang bahagi ng Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act hanggang tatlong taon habang hinihintay ang patnubay mula sa Supreme Court of Canada pagkatapos ng December 2025 Court of Appeal decision tungkol sa Gitxaała at Ehattesaht; Indigenous leaders ay tumutol sa pagbabago.

  8. Problema sa BC Ferries bago Easter: May mga aberya — Spirit of Vancouver Island may generator fault (nangyari Martes), Queen of Surrey wala pa matapos ang refit — kaya may ilang kanselasyon sa Abril 2 at 3; karaniwang ~400,000 pasahero at 160,000 sasakyan sa Easter weekend; Salish Heron walang inuming tubig sa Abril 2, at isang malaking gulong sa dagat ay nagdulot ng problema sa Chemainus route; Harbour Air nag-aalok ng 50% discount (code EASTER2026).

  9. Apela sa kaso ng pinal na chihuahua: Apela ni Randeep Ghataura sa hatol ng Okt 18, 2024 (4 buwan kulungan at 3 taon probation) para sa pagpatay/ pananakit ng chihuahua na si Tacori noong Mar 25, 2020; debate sa Court of Appeal umikot sa mens rea (sinasadyang pananakit) at sa ebidensyang veterinary (Dr. Adrian Walton) habang sinasabi ng depensa na aksidente o impulsive reaction ang nangyari.
