A Saudi Dissident, Paying for Surrey Skytrain & Unpacking the Civic Election
Chapter 1:
-A Saudi dissident living in Canada says he believes the people who ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi were also after him. Omar Abdulaziz says Saudi operatives visited Montreal in May in an effort to lure him back to the Kingdom. This spring, two representatives of the Saudi government visited Montreal to meet Abdulaziz. One of his brothers was brought along as well to apply pressure.
Chapter 2:
-The Trudeau government will fund SkyTrain in Surrey, if that’s what the city and region and province decide, according to Fleetwood-Port Kells Liberal MP Ken Hardie. Surrey mayor-elect Doug McCallum has been clear from the start — he will cancel light rail transit (LRT) on his first day in office and start building SkyTrain to Langley. But up until today, we did not know if the federal government would be willing to switch the $1.12 billion it has already committed to LRT, over to SkyTrain. Hardie says the answer is yes.
Chapter 3:
-Former career firefighter and independent Mike Hurley beat out five time Burnaby mayor Derek Corrigan. He tells us his plans for Burnaby, including how he plans on keeping his promises around demovictions and affordable housing.
Chapter 4:
-As the dust settles on the civic election results, thoughts now are looking to the future and the changes that could be in store for our region. In Surrey, the LRT vs SkyTrain debate has been blown wide open with the election of Doug McCallum, who’s pro-SkyTrain. While in Vancouver, how keen will those five NPA councillors be to stop the plans of Mayor-Elect, Kennedy Stewart?
