A new Queensborough Bridge could be back on the table. New Westminster Mayor Daniel Fontaine wants talks with B.C.’s incoming government about replacing, expanding or finding another solution for the aging crossing, which carries nearly 88,000 vehicles per day.

Everyone running in October suddenly wants to reform Metro Vancouver goverment. Surrey wants a public inquiry. Candidates are signing accountability charters. Even George Harvie, who chaired the Metro board, is vowing change. Imagine what they're hearing at the doors. #bcpoli

Two days ago we celebrated Ernie Punch McLean. Today Punch has passed away. Even at 93 years of age I’m stunned by this news. I’m happy he got to hear how people felt about him on Wednesday at QPA, even though I’m sure he heard it regularly. #RIPPunch 🪽👊🏽

On tonight’s #NewsHour: @MetroVancouver seemingly more concerned with who leaked info on its leadership crisis — than the crisis itself. They didn’t want you to know the top 3 executives were either on leave, terminated or facing suspension. @CUrquhartGlobal #bcpoli

Outrageous. An unprecedented attack (well if you don't count Nixon) on great journalism. Metro Van chair is creating his own Plumbers Unit, a la Nixon. #bcpoli

.@MetroVancouver doesn’t think you, the taxpayer, deserve to know its leadership team (as exposed by @CUrquhartGlobal) is in total chaos. Instead, Board Chair Mike Hurley (statement below) willing to spend more taxpayer $ to identify ‘leaker’ of that info. #bcpoli @Dave_Eby

NEW - @JohnRustad4BC says a @Conservative_BC government would "get rid of Metro Vancouver and turn it into what it’s supposed to be which is a water, sewer and garbage utility." "We don’t need that extra cost and bureaucracy in our system."

.@JohnRustad4BC speaking to @UBCM. Opens by saying he can’t afford a comedian to write jokes for him like @Dave_Eby, and then appeals to premier to save the ostriches.
