While the RCMP and others searched for eight days, no sign of Jean was ever found.

Roddy, Jean's older brother, told the Vancouver Sun, I think the whole community took part in that search.

There were people cooking and others in the bush.

They came up with nothing.

The RCMP collected DNA samples from Jean's family to perform a comparison against Jane Doe's found at Robert Pickton's farm, but it appears that no matches have been made.

There are numerous theories in Jean's case, and the strongest is that she is another victim of the infamous Highway of Tears.

Her family told the Vancouver Sun, ''It would be nice for us to have closure.

If she's alive, it would be nice to see her again.'' And if she's gone, it would be nice to put her to rest and have a feast and put a marker up.

You were a general assignment reporter for The Globe and Mail newspaper.

You worked as a daily news reporter at the Vancouver Sun.

Um, you worked at CBC, and later you worked as a producer and investigative reporter at CBC Radio and Television.

You then, uh, went to be the foreign correspondence and bureau chief for CTV News based in India, then Israel, and finally in China, based in Beijing.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Millennial Moron Podcast.

Today we're going to be talking about BC's property tax deferral with Phil Webb, a concerned citizen who's been researching the subject and has also been interviewed on the topic for an article in the Vancouver Sun and has written a piece for Generation Squeeze.

Phil's research into this program shows that while it was originally intended to help retirees on a fixed income, it eventually transformed into what was effectively a subsidy for wealthy property owners.

This is actually a bit of a lost episode of the podcast, because shortly after we recorded it back in February 2026, the BC government announced that they were winding down the program, which kind of made the subject a moot point.

3.4.

So that's just the average homeowner that's benefiting from the subsidy.

Dan Fumano of Post Media, the Vancouver Sun, ran a weekend special report on this, and he highlighted examples of extremely wealthy people that are benefiting.

Like, again, in British Columbia, there's no eligibility restrictions.

We're just gonna cover off one more item from yesterday.

Uh, a major court ruling by the BC Supreme Court reported first by the Vancouver Sun in which the court found the BC government has been illegally compelling Canadian doctors who went to medical school abroad to temporarily work in rural and remote communities of the province.

The court finding that BC lacks the authority to force internationally trained doctors who are graduating from school to work in specific communities for two to three years in order to get a residency here.

It's called a Return of Service Obligation.

I'm Dave Breckenridge and this is 10-3.

Vancouver Sun columnist Vaughn Palmer joins me to discuss what led to Findlay's ascension as conservative leader, why some MLAs have jumped ship, and whether it means NDP Premier David Eby could call a snap election.

Don't forget you can find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, Amazon Music.

I'd love it if you could leave us a rating, a review, and tell your friends about the show.

Let's discuss this with my guest now.

Glenda Lumis, the reporter for the Vancouver Sun and Province.

Glenda wrote an excellent piece on this by-election.

I highly recommend it to you.

Mm

... sort out those issues, um, when they come, when it comes down to it.

Vancouver Sun reporter Glenda Lumis is my guest.

We're talking about the looming by-election here, Abbotsford Mission, so crucial, especially for Kerry Lynn Findlay, the new Conservative leader running there, trying to get a seat in the legislature.
