Good morning from BC Supreme Court in #Vancouver, where former @Canucks forward Jake Virtanen's trial by jury begins today. Virtanen is facing one count of sexual assault in connection to an alleged incident in 2017. We'll have full coverage on all @GlobalBC platforms this week.
Virtanen's trial is expected to last roughly one week. Twelve jurors and two alternates were selected over the weekend. Virtanen, now 25, is now in court as we await the judge and jury. My colleague @safeeyapirani is also here, and will have full coverage on @CKNW today.

Just talked to Abbotsford-area Liberal MP Jati Sidhu: He said @Puglaas is not "a team player," speculated whether her father or somebody else was "pulling the strings."
He said: "The way she's acting, I think she couldn't handle the stress."

I asked whether those suggestions took agency away from the person the PM had appointed as A-G.
Sidhu said: "I think these are sour grapes."
He said the discussions she outlined were "normal" and didn't amount to political interference.

Sidhu said he would have resigned if he felt unsettled in such a situation.
"If there's interference, I would be concerned, but there's no interference."
Sidhu's race in 2015 was the last in the country to be called. He will be in tough to retain the seat this fall.
