    Sometimes a whole week of politics happens in a day and sometimes that day is the day after we record.

    The BC Conservatives go a full week without losing any MLAs as the new third party in the legislature begins to take shape. Carney makes deals and pitches relationships with Europe and Mike Morrice is set to become the next leader of the Green Party (unless the members choose none of the above).
