  • About   Laila Yuile:  freelance writer/blogger A true British Columbian by birth, I grew up in a lovely and wild, rural area north of Prince George. Now I make my home on the west coast (where the best of both worlds are within a short drive) but I deeply value the perspective gained from my rural upbringing.  For the past three years I’ve been blogging u0026#8211; an interactive medium which is ever-changing and unpredictable at times, but allows me to combine my love of writing with my affinity for my fellow British Columbian’s. I’ve made a strong, personal commitment as an independent, freelance writer to bring my readers the best of this new media, by reporting honest stories at the local and provincial level. I’ve broken numerous compelling news items that have been distributed,re-printed and covered by community papers all over the province, and have appeared on several radio/net talk-shows to ask the provocative, political questions that British Columbian’s want answers to. I do my best to find those answers, and publish them for everyone to read. The lack of accountability and transparency in our provincial government has been the driving force behind the bulk of my research and reporting. That’s why I’m always looking for the facts at the heart of a story, whether…
