We know it’s hard to believe — considering the Christy Clark government’s despicable handling of the health care firings scandal; the scathing indictment by a judge of Ministry of Children and Family Development social workers’ actions in a case that put a child into the hands of an abuser; the province’s laughable record of “open government”; and the Clark-mandated clusterfudge of a transportation referendum, as well as her government’s ongoing hands-on/hands-off approach to transportation in Metro Vancouver — but the BC Liberal government did something, well, right this week.


Attorney General Suzanne Anton announced Tuesday a change to booze laws to allow wineries, distilleries and breweries — such as Port Moody’s popular Yellow Dog Brewing and Moody Ales — with licensed lounges to sell their patrons liquor those establishments didn’t produce.

Craft Distillers Guild of BC president Tyler Dyck said the move will allow craft producers to cross-promote one another, helping the small businesses the Libs say they love.

How shockingly common sense of the BC Liberals. Who knew they had it in them?
