How we come to these moments in local political history… On the one hand we have a member of our honourable Grand Forks city council declaring in a public forum on the night of Dec. 5th: “If glyphosate shows up in your urine, it is certainly an indication your body is processing it adequately.” Absolutely brilliant on the...

Editor, The Nelson Daily Kevin Pearce is a remarkable young man. A horrible crash at the height of his amazing snowboarding carreer has left him brain injured yet thoughtful, honest and more realistic than most of us who have never faced such highs and lows. Last (Thursday) night at the Civic Theatre screening of The Crash ...
