Bond remains optimistic

But Prince George-Mount Robson MLA Shirley Bond, who is already Minister of Justice and Attorney General and now acting Finance Minister, remains optimistic. She joined Betsy Trumpener this morning to explain why she plans on running in the next election, and why she doesn't think it's a given her party will be sitting in the opposition chairs.

Andrea started out with "Men behaving badly" and recommended The Outlaw Album by Daniel Woodrell:


Erin's first pick was Born to Run by Christopher McDouggal, an inside look at the secret world of intensive runners and superathletes.


Andrea's second pick was pop-culture writer Chuck Klostermann's latest, the Visible Man.



Finally, Erin put forward the pop culture phenomena and graphic novel The Walking Dead from Robert Kirkman.


Bonus! Our stock guy Steve Boker recommends the work of Wilbur Smith.
