And on top of this, the police board met last week and said NOTHING about where the police transition is at despite the RCMP saying earlier this year it was leaving Surrey in November. The SPS has about 700 officers but says it needs 855 to take over the city. Ooof!
Brenda Locke lost. Her handpicked police board didn’t get the message. Behind closed doors, with Rob Stutt still on it and two seats empty, it picked Surrey’s police chief 3 days before the new council takes office. I’m calling on the Province to remove the entire board. Now.

13 years ago tonight, on October 30, 2013, the Boston Red Sox won the World Series at Fenway Park. And it was glorious.

Already laying the groundwork to not do what he said could be (easily) done. It’s on page three of the new government playbook…
BC's Premier Designate @LDoerkson says he is eager to begin diving into the state of the province's finances and the $13.8 billion deficit. Speaking to CBC News this am Doerkson says "I am concerned the deficit is even larger than we know or think".

Canucks on a nine-game losing streak but booing and crying because Quinn Hughes didn’t want to waste his career on this flaming dung heap is perfection.

Shoutout to journalists like @HaneyInkslinger @BenLypka @sthomas10 @TomZillich @Tarnjitkparmar who worked their asses off on election night covering the BC election. I am on vacation so watched from afar as they sweated out the night and (likely) ate cold pizza.

As a journalist, I once covered Adrian Dix when he ran for premier. I didn’t think anyone could run a worse campaign — then David Eby came along and asked ol’ Adrian to hold his beer. Just a generational fumble. Incoherent. Incompetent. Stepping on every rake possible.

Because of the snap election call, @ElectionsBC says it will need to hand-count some ballots cast Saturday. This means it could take longer than in 2024 to get a final result. Click the pic for details. surreynowleader.com/2026/10/…
