Police presence in our schools. How the Greater Victoria School Board lost their jobs over it.
Leyne was raised in Qualicum Beach, worked on newspapers in Duncan - where he covered the incineration of 13 tons of marijuana under RCMP supervision - and the West Shore - where he staged his own impaired driving arrest and then covered it.
He was a Times Comonist reporter for 14 years before becoming an opinion columnist in 1995. He has won Jack Webster Foundation Awards for commentary and was part of a team honoured with the national Michener Award for Public Service journalism.
He currently works part-time, covering mostly legislative sittings, and tries to bike has much as possible.
