Blog Watching: Week ending February 23, 2020

BC's provincial budget and the discussion about the ongoing protests around the province and nation made for a fair bit of interest for readers of the blog this week, with a number of readers checking out our notes on the provincial scene.

Basketball and Hockey also dominated the reading list for the week, with our items of note on the various Charles Hays Secondary Rainmaker teams generating a large audience, as did our preview of this weekend's CIHL playoff series with the Terrace River Kings.

More closures for Prince Rupert's business sector also made for a busy news review for the week, as two more  popular locations were forced to close their doors at the request of the landlord of their building.

However, the most read story of the week brought us to the legislature and the political themes in Victoria.
