The RCMP say there have been several dangerous incidents recently where rocks have been thrown from an overpass on Highway 99 in south Surrey, B.C.

The Mounties say the rocks were thrown from a pedestrian overpass between the 32nd Avenue and King George Boulevard exits and have struck vehicles, but no one has been injured.

Vehicles that have been damaged include a bus, and police say in one incident, a rock the size of a baseball was found.

The first of the three incidents happened on the evening of Nov. 26 when a semi-truck and the bus were damaged.

The next one happened at night three days later when two semi-trucks were damaged.

The most recent incident was on Tuesday at 10:20 p.m., which also resulted in two semi-trucks being damaged.

B.C.'s 2024 deficit comes in under forecast at $7.3B

British Columbia's final deficit for the fiscal year has come in at $7.3 billion, $564 million lower than the original projected number in Budget 2024. The final deficit is also about $1.8 billion lower than the most recent third-quarter forecast. Finance Minister Brenda Bailey says B.C. was able to report a lower-than-projected deficit largely due to revenue from the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia. Total revenue was about $2.5 billion higher than expected in the budget. B.C.'s GDP grew by 1.2 per cent, lower than the Canadian average of 1.6 per cent. The taxpayer-supported debt-to-

Poilievre says of B.C. Premier Eby that 'one man can't block' pipeline proposal

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Canadians, including British Columbians, want a new oil pipeline and Premier David Eby can't be allowed as one man to block the project. Poilievre says the country can't wait for complete agreement on the idea, calling it a "basic fact" that a new pipeline is needed. Eby has repeatedly said there's no point discussing or supporting a pipeline that is being pushed by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and others, until there is a proponent for such a project. Poilievre, speaking in Calgary, says that's a "chicken and egg problem," because the reason there's

Remains identified as missing Calgary man, police investigating death as homicide

Police have identified the remains of a Calgary man who disappeared 2 1/2 years ago and are investigating his death as a homicide.

He was 65 at the time of his disappearance and had lived in the same northeast Calgary neighbourhood for over 40 years. Police say they believe Mainland was the victim of foul play. They're asking members of the public to come forward with information to help with the investigation.
