## Method and limits

All four requested feeds were collected: CBC British Columbia, Global BC, CHEK News and CityNews Vancouver. Seven distinct public-interest stories were selected and their public article bodies reviewed after HTTP 200 retrieval. Source titles are retained solely for attribution. Original downloaded text and the feed snapshot are retained locally, not republished. National fillers, sports-only items, ads and generic programming listings were excluded. The Alberta rail investigation was included for its direct connection to Prince Rupert-bound freight. The Victoria airport item contains substantive safety reporting, not just a video listing.

This is source-linked summarization, not independent on-scene reporting. Why-it-matters paragraphs are editorial context. No full source paragraphs are reproduced.

## Editorial safeguards

The primary-care figure is explicitly dated April 2026, rather than presented as a new September count. Climate projections are not imminent weather alerts. The Burnaby cyberattack report does not confirm data theft, ransomware or culpable security failures; no such finding is asserted here. The Prince George decision concerns business-case options, not construction approval. Possible wildlife-law violations are an advocacy organization’s allegation, not a proven offence; no suspect is named. The airport report is preventive, not a disruption alert. The rail derailment occurred in April 2023; the current news is the investigation and recommendation, attributed through Canadian Press/CityNews rather than claimed as independently reviewed primary findings.
