BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix has called planned changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve “very disappointing.” Dix spoke out against changes that could see some of the province's protected farmland — a legacy of his party's rule four decades ago — opened up to industrial uses. “The fact the reserve has stayed in good stead even though the NDP largely hasn't been in office for most of the years shows what sound judgment it was and how unwise it is for the current government now to be undermining the ALR in the way they are,” Dix told 24 hours at a media event in Kitsilano's Fable Kitchen Restaurant. http://vancouver.24hrs.ca/2014/04/01/bc-government-undermining-agricultural-land-reserve-bc-ndp
