Surrey Mayor Candidate's Debate

There was a Mayor Candidate's debate in Surrey tonight at the Civic Plaza hotel hosted by the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association. Bruce Haynes spoke well. He is a good speaker. I wish he would have run for council. He would have made a great mayor next term. I just think Doug McCallum has one important round left. Tom Gill looks and sounds like Mr Rogers when he speaks. It's impossible to take him seriously.

Rajesh is a good guy. I like him. I think he should have run for council first. I don't think he has enough experience to become mayor yet. Imtiaz Popat is a good guy. He spoke about bringing back the interurban railway that Tiller's Folley sang about. That is worth looking at. The rail line already exists. It was done away with by the oil industry. Bringing it back makes sense.

Although my decision was already made beforehand the debate tonight only solidified my decision. I support Doug McCallum for mayor because he is clear and concise on exactly what needs to be done. He supports a safe Surrey so businesses in Newton can thrive and he supports Skytrain over LRT. When he speaks he doesn't sound like a politician. He doesn't sound like a used car salesman trying to sell you a bad deal like Tom Gill does.

When Tom Gill speaks you feel like a wet slime just slithered down your back. When Doug McCallum speaks it feels like Thor energizing his raised gavel then crushing it to the ground with concise precision. I support his policies completely.

Doug McCallum reminds me of Rocky Balboa wanting to go back into the ring to deal with some unfinished business. I sincerely believe he is the one to fix the Surrey First mess at this time. He has one more crucial round left in him to set Surrey back on track for the next generation.

Nevertheless there was a new name at the table who really impressed me - Pauline Greaves. She joined the Proudly Surrey slate. This woman is intelligent. She has a masters degree in criminology. She has a good business mind and a strong sense of inclusion and social justice. Never mind mayor, this woman could be the next premier.

Proudly Surrey supports LRT and I don't but after this election I'd like to see something more from Pauline, Stuart and Adam alike. They all have a bright future ahead of them. My focus in the Surrey election is clear: oppose the LRT and implement the New York Crime Reduction Model so business can thrive through fiscal responsibility and low taxes. Doug McCallum is the one to do it.

Halifax Pimp jailed for trafficking underage girls

The Canadian Press is reporting that "A year and a half after a teenage girl escaped barefoot and crying from his basement, a 34-year-old Nova Scotia man has been sentenced to just under six years in prison for luring and trafficking two underage girls. In a written Nova Scotia Supreme Court ruling released Monday, Justice James Chipman accepted a joint recommendation from lawyers and sentenced Leeanthon Oliver to eight years in prison, less 840 days spent on remand. Oliver made contact with the two girls, both from Pictou County, on separate occasions in early 2017, befriending them online before transporting them to Halifax and forcing them into prostitution." The girls were both 15 years old. This guy is a dirt bag.

Dianne Watts' attack Poodle bullies Bruce Haynes

Dianne Watts' lame duck attack poodle has now targeted Bruce Haynes for saying no to the LRT over Skytrain in support of the residents and the elementary school of marginalized children Surrey First wants to steam roll over. I'm referring to Mike Smyth, Dianne Watts' lapdog, who choked on his sour grapes when Dianne Watts lost against Andrew Wilkinson.

Mike Smyth is pathetic. First he challenges Dough McCallum's record on crime and fiscal responsibility which was flawless in vast contrast to that of Dianne Watts. Now he is attacking Bruce Haynes for flipping on the LRT. Mikey and Little Tommie Tinker need to realize that responding to public outcry is a good thing. Steam rolling over it is not.

Yesterday Bruce Haynes said “I think there’s an overwhelming number of people in Surrey who have not felt that LRT is the technology of choice for them.” Exactly. LRT along 104th will create an infrastructure nightmare. Putting a road right through Hjorth Road Elementary school's playing field is just plain wrong. Refusing to recognize that fact is the very arrogance that has predominated Surrey First throughout their reign of terror and fiscal irresponsibility.

Bruce Haynes flipped on the dirty mega casino on rural land scam when he saw the overwhelming opposition to it. So did Dianne Watts. Changing their position in response to the public outcry was good. Tom Gill didn't. He defiantly steamrolled right over the public outcry and pissed off the entire Sikh community who passionately opposed the project. Tom Gill didn't care. He voted for it regardless. That is a bad precedent.

Surrey First has gone through a complete meltdown. Of the eight councilors, two jumped ship, one is running for mayor and three left and are running on a different slate because they reject Tom Gill's pathetic childishness. That leaves them with two councilors.

Back when Alex Tsakumis was Dianne Watt's attack poodle her theme song was Go Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult. Anyone who opposed Dianne Watts reign of terror was bullied by them including Laila Yuile. Now that Michael Smyth is her new lame duck their new theme song is Three Dressed up as a Nine by BTO. You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. Harold Munro's cheap tabloid of corporate trash is worthless. Tom Gill is is part of the problem. Tommie the Tinker is just a wannabe diva.



Little Tommy Tinker sat upon a clinker and he began to cry...

Another Surrey mayoral candidate wants to pause LRT

Bruce Haynes starts to talk the talk. The Peace arch News is reporting that "Mayoral hopeful Bruce Hayne now says he will “press pause” on phase one of Surrey’s light rail project, if elected. Hayne, a current councillor, previously said he thought it was too late to change gears but told the Now-Leader on Monday that the issue is “too important not to revisit.” SkyTrain is a “better solution for Surrey,” he said, adding that bus rapid transit might be the better option along 104th Avenue from King George Boulevard to 152nd Street." Global is also covering the story.

Bruce Haynes is a good guy. If Dough McCallum wasn't running I would have endorsed Bruce for mayor. I was concerned when he said it was too late to stop the LRT because that was simply untrue. Now he is starting to see the light. Of all the former Surrey First members, Bruce shows the greatest potential for rehabilitation. He opposed the South Surrey Mega Casino on rural land flip when Barbara Steele didn't. Barbra Steele is beyond rehabilitation. I have no problem with Dave Woods. The fact that he left Surrey First over the gun control diversion was a good thing. If Integrity Now were elected, except for Barbara Steel, I would have no problem with that. I mostly endorse the Safe Surrey Coalition because their two fold mandate is clear.

Doug McCallum will stop the LRT in favor of Skytrain and his track record on crime prevention and fiscal responsibility is tried tested and proven. Surrey First has historically been Surrey's Worst when it comes to addressing crime and fiscal responsibility. It's time to move forward.

Metro Vancouver Police step off the grid into the shadows

Evidently this is old news but I just clued into it. October 2017 Global reported that "The Surrey Fire Service has switched to a new encrypted digital radio system and the BC Ambulance Service will soon be doing the same. And that means little information from emergency responder calls, if any, will seep out to the public over the airwaves." They claim “That means the communication is kept secure and out of the hands of other people who may listen to it and monitor it for nefarious purposes that pose a threat for first responders.”

That is a crock of sh*t. The police are paid by the public and need to be publicly accountable. Scan BC ran quite reflectively. The real reason they went off the grid is to hide from the public. I realize the police don't like the press at shooting investigations but the press always stay behind the tape. Now we simply don't hear about shootings. We only hear what they choose to tell us when they feel like telling us. This needs to change. Going off the grid lets them suppress crime statistics. CBC reported on it June 2017.

The reason this came to light is because there was a police incident outside our place last night. Seven cop cars with cops putting on vests walking around with assault rifles drawn. I checked Scan BC to see what was up and it's gone silent. Now we haven't hard a word about it. The public need to be informed about crime in their community. This is Canada not Communism.

Terror Squad murder tied to the Hells Angels

There is no question that the Terror Squad has been terrorizing Saskatoon and that the Terror Squad sells drugs for the Hells Angels. The latest case in the news involves the murder of Dylan Phillips. Shaylin Sutherland-Kaysea admits she is a member of the Terror Squad and that she shot Dylan. The rest of her testimony is full of contradictions.

"During Sutherland-Kayseas’ police interview, she told officers she used the gun to defend herself. A weapon she said she owned, knew was loaded, and had shot before. Whereas she told court she didn't know whose gun it was, if it was even loaded and had never handled it before."

The motivation for the lies is obvious. She is being charged with first degree murder which involves previous intent. She is claiming it wasn't planned so she gets charged with manslaughter instead of first degree murder. She now claims it was a grow rip gone bad and that she was high on crystal meth. If her crew is selling crystal meth it is highly unlikely she is going to steal his pot for her own use. Dylan sold pot.

Trent Southwind plead guilty to manslaughter of Dylan and refused to testify in Shaylin's trial. They did the rip when his parents were home and beat his parent. A guy with a fence board beat Dylan and his parents while the girl had the gun and a third member of the gang was outside at the side of the house. Three gang members were involved. That is a criminal organization.

They stole the drugs from him because he was a rival drug dealer which solidifies prior intent since they are known to use violence to defend turf. "The drug trade is the primary way in their means of making money. Intimidation and violence is used to further that end game." Four years for murder less one third for mandatory statutory release is obscene.

Raylene Sewap is a member of the Terror Squad who was just sentenced to five years for torture and unlawful imprisonement. She cut off a woman's finger for leaving the gang and joining a rival. Her lawyer claimed that Raylene was high on crystal meth and that no other gang members were present but that is simply not true. "Court heard Sewap and fellow Terror Squad members blocked the door so the victim couldn’t leave." The lawyers are counseling their clients to lie.

July 2013 we reported that the Terror Squad was linked to the Hells Angels. Darren Harper was the longtime boss of Saskatoon’s Terror Squad street gang and had links to the Hells Angels, according to parole documents. Darren and his co accused were charged with trafficking cocaine and fentanyl. Darren plead guilty to trafficking cocaine over a two-year period.



BTW there already is a handgun ban in Saskatoon just like there is in Surrey, Toronto and everywhere else in Canada. The problem is that when gang members use an illegal handgun to commit a criminal offense, the court's don't do anything about it. Often the gang member already has a lifetime firearm ban and it's never enforced. Three years for murder is not justice.

Addressing gun violence with the New York Model

Dianne Watts' dirty deeds done dirt cheap

Harold Munro's cheap tabloid of corporate trash has certainly provided some more comic relief. Michael Smyth, Dianne Walt's lapdog who choked on his sour grapes after her defeat against Andrew Wilkinson, is still flogging a dead horse. He claims Ex-mayor Watts rips McCallum. Not. Ex mayor or ex Watts? Watt's isn't even her own name. That's Brian's name and she's divorced. Everything about that snake in the grass was a fraud.

“I don’t think he would serve the city well given the complex challenges facing Surrey,” Watts told me Wednesday. “I had to clean up some of the problems he left when I became mayor." That is absolutely HILARIOUS. Doug McCalum's track record of crime prevention and Dianne Watt's track record of crime promotion speak for themselves. Like my father used to say, you can't con a con. You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. You can't fool us because Surrey is our home. We live here. We know their history.

Doug McCallum was tough on crime, Dianne Watts wasn't. Doug McCallum was fiscally responsible. Dianne Watts wasn't. What kind of crime challenges did Doug McCallum face? Crack houses. Any idea how hard it is to get rid of crack houses? He did it. He evicted them onto the street. I saw it. I was there. I was a letter carrier at the time. The notorious crack houses filled with crime and drug addicted prostitution were evicted by the city. Doug McCallum was successful at addressing crime. Dianne Watts wasn't.

Under Dianne Watts crime in Surrey hit it's peak. Businesses in Newton were complaining about drug dealers selling drugs outside their place of business chasing heir customers away and the city did NOTHING. Residents complained about crime repeatedly only to have those complaints fall on deaf ears. Residents persistently complained about an after hours in Green Timbers while the city did nothing. Residents said what are you going to do? Wait until someone gets killed? That's exactly what they did.

A young girl wrote the mayor complaining about drug related crime in their trailer park. Dianne Watts seized the photo op and said gee it's too bad your landlord rents to criminals. There's nothing we can do about it. For real. I couldn't make this sh*t up. This is Dianne Watts history.

Remember the fall of Dianne Watts and who she is supporting. She is supporting Tom Gill despite the fact that former members of her own party aren't. They certainly don't agree with her about that. Tom Gill is a complete idiot who was bickering in public sharing private text messages with the press like a classless fool. She's still just a three dressed up as a nine.

How about Newton Crime Prevention Super Hero Doug Elford? He doesn't agree with Dianne Watts. He supports Doug McCallum and so do I. The corporate tax and spend gluttons are afraid of Doug McCallum because he is fiscally responsible. Under his leadership their tax and spend play day will come to an end. Lest we forget Campbell Heights and the Fall of Dianne Watts.

It's time for everyone to come together under Doug McCallum. That's Green Justice.

United for Change Surrey

Evidently there is yet another facebook group that opposes Tom Gill and the LRT in Surrey called United for Change Surrey. They have posted a video on their facebook group claiming Tom Gill is in a conflict of interest over the LRT in Surrey. Aren't they all? The Surrey LRT is tied to the SNC-Lavalin Fraud. Now we have Green Justice, Sky Train for Surrey and United for Change Surrey who all oppose the LRT over skytrain. We are all indeed united for change in Surrey.

United for Change Surrey makes a good point. John Horgan and the BC NDP rightfully cancelled the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Fraud after contracts had already been signed by the previous government. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever the Surrey LRT can't be stopped and replaced with Skytrain. People who drive cars prefer Skytrain because Skytrain does not impede traffic. Putting a road through Hjorth Road Elementary is just plain wrong.



I'm all for Skytrain to Newton. Extending Skytrain to Newton makes sense. Making people get off Skytrain and take an LRT the last few stops doesn't make sense. It's stupid.

The NDP lost Laila Yuile's support over the Site C dam. They lost my support over the LRT in Surrey. Their fragile alliance has fallen. Jinny Sims is an arrogant snob.

Infrastructure expert gives Surrey LRT poor score

Give it up for Daryl Dela Cruz

Huge fish kill on Surrey waterway

CBC is reporting that "Volunteers with the Nicomekl Enhancement Society are sounding the alarm after discharge from a cement plant triggered a mass die-off of fish and crayfish in the Nicomekl River on Sept 14. "The kill was extensive," said NES president and biologist Jim Armstrong. "There were generation of crayfish that were killed off ... literally hundreds. And we went from hundreds of coho fry to zero coho fry."

The Seven Virtues of Bushido

We've talked about the compassion of Buddha, the truthfulness of Tao and the five virtues of Confucius. Now let's talk about the seven virtues of Bushido: Righteousness, Respect, Courage, Honour, Compassion, Honesty and Loyalty. This is nobility as Rob Roy explained to his kids.



"Honour is something no man can give you and no man can take away."

"Any man with honour is a king but not all kings have honour." Rob Roy
