Nevertheless, on Monday Horgan stepped up his defence of Cullen, even as he continued to disparage his “intemperate” comments.
“I know no one’s going to work harder than Nathan Cullen to make up for his stupid comments,” claimed Horgan. “No one will work harder now on reconciliation than Nathan Cullen.”
So in the John Horgan world view, Cullen’s comments, far from being a firing offence, would almost amount to a qualification for higher office.
For who better to appoint minister of Indigenous relations and reconciliation in the next NDP government than someone who has personally insulted a hereditary chief when he thought no one was listening?

ICBA was on-site with Control Solutions (CSL) at 402 Dunsmuir Street. They have a lot to be proud of and wanted to give us the full experience as to the scope of work that went on with this project.
This project was envisioned by Oxford Properties, who were looking to ensure that their long term vision of a building that would set a new standard in Smart Building Technology was implemented. This vision was achieved by the dynamic team at Control Solutions working with Oxford Properties. It’s the extremely high level of integration and future capabilities that sets this building apart from all others. It sets a new standard as the first fully automated building in Vancouver with complete integration of all building technologies into a common IoT platform, WebCTRL. All technologies come together within a Web Based system that offers a secure Single Pain of Glass, WebCTRL, to monitor and control all systems either via your smart phone, within the office space or remotely via Web Browser.
Some interesting facts about this new build in Vancouver:
•9 storeys
•Semi-operable monitored windows (very rare in a high rise)
•CSL are able to monitor and control: lighting, fire alarm, elevators, security, access control, cctv, hvac & building metering (electrical, btu & domestic water) - all accessed through WebCTRL.
•Specialized HVAC system – every single valve has a built in flow meter, this allows individualized control and monitoring of the heating and cooling loads at each fancoil.
Uses a web based system on Oxford Properties secure National OT Network
•Occupancy sensors on all lighting systems that are integrated to enable the HVAC systems only when the spaces are occupied.
CSL has a talented and experienced team of experts that took on this new challenge without hesitating. They have done an incredible job and we are grateful to be able to see what goes on behind the scenes.
Other ICBA members working on this project: Ledcor, and Division 15 Mechanical.
