Editorial method:
- Ran the NewsForBC B.C. RSS collector for CBC British Columbia, Global BC, CHEK News and CityNews Vancouver.
- Selected B.C.-specific public-interest stories and excluded national fillers, generic program/video posts, ads and sports-only items.
- Wrote original summaries in NewsForBC wording with attribution and direct source links.
- Treated reports as source-linked summarization, not original on-scene reporting.
- Framed allegations, investigations, charges and labour/political claims as reported claims unless an official or court finding confirms them.
