mayor's decision to issue a state of local emergency over wildfires on tuesday. >>this is crazy, I'm not going to stay on the council when we have a dictator. >>coleen: mayor ed wood cited a meeting he had with the province last week -- saying "we are experiencing an increased risk of interface fire due to rainfall levels being half than usual, drier than normal conditions, low snowpack levels -- and a forecast of above seasonal temperatures". So far -- wood has awarded two contracts --luding 174-thousand dollars for new sensors -- and cameras. But in their meeting tuesday -- some councillors say the mayor did not consult council and overstepped his authority. Currently, there is onewildfire about 20 kilometres north of the village on harrison lake -- but it is classified as under control. Food banks canada has release its second annual “poverty report card” -- and b-c isn't getting a good grade. For the second year in a row -- b-c scored a "d-plus" in the report card -- which measures the state of poverty in each province. The survey found nearly half of british columbians feel financially worse-off compared financially worse-off compared to last year -- and are spending more than 30 per cent of t income on housing. But the report card did praise receteps by the province to reduce poverty -- and build more homes. A new survey says most canadians support the movement to boycott loblaws grocery stores -- but many aren't taking part. The leger sy found 70 per cent of canadians said they were aware of the boycott. 58 per cent support it -- b just 18 per cent said they -- or someone in their household -- are taking part. For those boycotting loblaws -- 40 per cent are going to big box stores like wal-mart instead -- 31 per cent are going to another national chain like save-on foods -- and just 23 percent are shopping at independent local stores. New data suggests british columbians are purchasing less alcohol. The bc liquor distribution branch says liquor stores -- bars and restaurants purchased about 3.5 percent less wholesale alcohol in the first three months of thear -- compared to the same period last year. Likewise -- the total volume of alcohol purchased wholesale fell as well. Beer -- wine -- and spirits all saw declines in sales and volume. Sales of “refreshmentges” -- including cider and coolers rose by one per ce- but total volume sold drop provincial officials were on hand to a special affordable housing complex in vernon on tuesday.ng is a sister to thunderbird manor -- owned and operated by the vernon native housing society. It will help support indigenous communities -- and people with disabilities. Local advocates say housing for indigenous pe has come a long way. >>we started off at ten units scattered around vernon and through the years we've grown we've got 200 units. >>having a mix o units, havin young people able to livth some of our elders, having kids being on site, that's the sign of a healthy community, I thit's fantastic. >>coleen: the project is part of a $19-billion dollar housingstment by the b-c government. A new poll shows a two-horse race shaping up for the provincial election -- with line forming by age -- and geography. Keith baldrey joins us to break it down. Keith -- give us a closer l >> Keith: yes, this is a research paul-- and it gives the ndp province wide and healthy lead over the conservatives replacing bcnited and the greens as an alternative ndp. When regionally and it's important to look at it regionally-- itls a slightly different story because where the ridings are located and usually metro vanco with a 10-point lead over vancouver but it's tied with northern bc and typically that'sood news for the ndp because most of the ridings are in vancouver and 44 seats up for grabs in metro vancouver, near october, 8 and the fraser valley and 25 the north. Going to be wit a 10-point lead in the metro vancouver and I didn't put vanco island on that because-- they got basically almost 100 percent of the seats there. That's a pretty well ndp run ay but of course, it's an october not now and when you look at the age breakdown, you will see a transportation transformation of how people are voting with their age right now the conservatives ong young people and-- young people used to be for the ndp and now that is flipped to the conservatives, you look you are looking at 55 to 24 conservatives to ndp. And then 55 people are oldho

are conservative space-- now half of them say it's there supporting bc ndp. This is prettyistorical, young people over the age 34 gravitating towards the conservativethat a historic first an that used to be liberal or ndp in older vot used to be a lot for conservatives but now they seem be going to liberal on the federal level and certainly at the provincial level. A fascinating change irms of age demographic. >> Coleen: no kidding and something all of the parties will be using going forward in the selection. >> Mark: yes, . >> Coleen: thanks so much keith.
