My favourite #bcpoli personality in 2020 is @BowinnMa!
Minister Ma is incredibly hard-working, thoughtful, and outspoken. Even if you disagree with her politics, she represents the caliber of publicly-elected officials we need now and tomorrow.

My favourite #bcpoli moment of the year is Minister of Public Safety @mikefarnworthbc mincing no words for anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, and people flouting the COVID-19 rules:
“Shut up, grow up, and mask up!”
“Shut up, grow up, and mask up!”
My favourite piece of #bcpoli election coverage is @j_mcelroy tracking BC Liberal messaging involving big trucks!

My favourite BC radio programming is The Lynda Steele Show on @CKNW.
@steeletalk, @AmirsDoingItAll, @chapappay, @alan_regan are among the best in the business in delivering engaging, entertaining, and important radio.
Here’s a clip of me from 2020:

My favourite investigative reporters in BC media are two guys who I’m begging to be on the podcast in 2021:
@GlobalBC’s @scoopercooper and @JohnHua — two fellas who have shook the province with their discoveries.

Another gem of investigative reporting, my favourite BC media personality to follow on Twitter is @ianjamesyoung70!
Hilarious and insightful, Ian gives you the goods whether he’s destroying trolls or disseminating truths.

My favourite BC comedian in 2020 is @MsKatieEllen Humphries!
In a tough year for stand-up comics, Katie-Ellen put out a beast of a comedy album, “Ladyfinger”, which you should listen to right now! https://open.spotify.com/album/3zo8sgUKIgAaSGN2WdDwsB?si=3p6lCmTHRle4410Qjl3E3g
