Pedestrian killed on Surrey side street

The Vancouver Province is reporting that "Surrey RCMP say a man struck by a vehicle Tuesday morning in Guildford has died from his injuries. The 28-year-old man was unconscious suffering head injuries when he was found lying in the street by a passerby near the 14300 block of 92nd Avenue at 7:20 a.m. The victim, whose name has not been released, later died in hospital."

“No one had witnessed what led to the man’s injuries and it wasn’t readily apparent what had transpired or how long he had been injured,” said Cpl. Scotty Schumann, Surrey RCMP media relations officer. The accident occurred on a quiet dead-end residential street. “That’s an area that does not have a lot of traffic, so it makes you wonder how someone could not see a person standing on the side of the road,” said Schumann. RCMP investigators located glass fragments and pieces of a vehicle suspected to have been involved.

Hit by a car on a dead end street early in the morning. It just doesn't make sense.

VPD discover two bodies and a hatchet

Scan BC is reporting that "Neighbours reported a hatchet and blood trailing out of a house near 64 Ave & Hudson St. #Vancouver Police have located two bodies inside." Global is confirming the fatalities and the fact that a local resident didn't hear any gunfire thus the presence of an axe.

Pitbull sends his private plane to Puerto Rico - Update

The New York Daily News is reporting that "The American rapper known as Pitbull is sending his private plane to Puerto Rico so that cancer patients can receive treatment in the United States."

The Verge is reporting that "In the wake of Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico’s 3.4 million American citizens remain almost entirely without electrical power — but it’s not because their power plants are blown. The problem is that roughly 80 percent of transmission lines, which take power from the plants to distribution centers, are down. Nearly all the local power lines that run to residences and businesses have likely also been destroyed."

NBC is reporting that "About 44 percent of the Puerto Rican population remains without drinking water, the Department of Defense said in a statement Wednesday." The Washington Post is reporting that "The Trump administration is rushing military hardware and personnel to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands as it becomes increasingly clear that the U.S. government response to Hurricane Maria so far has been inadequate and overmatched by the scale of the disaster."

Puerto Rico's humanitarian crisis

Update: Beyonce remixes a J Balvin song for hurricane relief. Mi Gente means My People.

Dianne Watts' Liberal leadership bid receives mixed reviews

The Vancouver Province is reporting that Dianne Watts' Liberal leadership bid receives mixed reviews. Today they printed one letter for and one letter against. The letter against was rather amusing. Robert Brown wrote in and called Dianne Watts a chameleon for changing her political stripes back and forth so many times. He even referred to her as driftwood in the river of politics. Botox that. I guess that's not as bad as when Dianne Watts and Alex Tsakumis called Barinder Rasode a whore. Looks like Dianne Watts' new election theme song is Karma Chameleon.



Surrey School Board places roadblock to LRT insanity



Karma's a b*tch yo.

Man shot in Surrey drives himself to the hospital

News 1130 is reporting that "RCMP officers had to rush to Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock last night after a man drove himself to the emergency room in a shot-up pickup truck."

The Peacearch News is reporting that "A witness says the man arrived at the hospital in a pick-up truck with at least two bullet holes in the rear driver side door, which was seized by police. The investigation led police to Cloverdale, specifically the 5300-block of 164th Street, where the shooting is believed to have occurred.

Linda Airhead Hepner throws her head in the sand and says gee I don't know what to do guys. It's not my problem. You need to resign. Having the RCMP provide police protection to the Hells Angels drug dealers on the Surrey strip is criminal negligence.

Surrey School Board places roadblock to LRT insanity

The Peacearch News is reporting that "The Surrey School Board wants Mayor Linda Hepner to address how an elementary school’s playing field is being affected by road construction plans. At its first meeting of this school year, on Sept. 20, the Surrey Board of Education received a report from Superintendent Dr. Jordan Tinney summarizing concerns about the 105 Avenue Connector project’s impacts on Hjorth Road Elementary school."

"The city intends to build a road that would cut through the Guildford school, and an LRT station is planned next to the school. In his report, Tinney notes the crucial need and community desire for transit improvements but said our priority is the impacts on schools.”

“Hjorth Road Elementary school is central to our community,” writes Tinney. “We realize and appreciate that the creation of a robust transportation system is in the best interest of Surrey, but we need to ensure that our community school remains viable and safe. Having access to a viable play field on-site is essential to the operation of a school.”

Trustee Terry Allen said prior to shovels going in the ground, there needs to be an agreement in place between the city and the board. “The truth of the matter is, for the board of education, if it doesn’t benefit the students, then there will be no deal,” he said. “That’s what we’re elected to do and that’s what we will continue to do.”

This neighbourhood, noted Allen, is one of the city’s lowest income. “These students and Holly Elementary are the most vulnerable students. We’re committed to that school, and we always have been,” he said. “The city can do what it wants with Hawthorne Park but they can’t do what they want with our property.” Allen said while he appreciates parkland, his “fight begins at the fence of Hjorth Road.” “There’s a lot at stake,” he added. “The city needs to know that. I’m not going to lie to you and say that city staff and our staff haven’t spoken. But I want to be very clear that there certainly is no deal between the council and the board of education.”

Linda Hepner is a raging lunatic and Dianne Watts is the driving force behind this insanity.

Three shootings in Surrey - Update

The Peacearch News is reporting that "Surrey RCMP are investigating three shootings that occurred within 12 hours of each other on Saturday night.

The first had police cordoning off 30 Avenue between 148 Street and 147A just before 6 p.m. According to an RCMP news release, another shooting, this one just at 5:21 a.m. Sunday, took place in the 14700 block of 30 Avenue – the same location as the one just hours prior.

A third shooting took place in the Newton area of Surrey at 5:10 a.m. Sunday. A news release said that Mounties are investigating a shooting in the 8400 block of 121a Street.

Update: The Peacearch News is reporting that "Five people have been arrested in connection with a pair of shots-fired incidents in South Surrey over the weekend. Police announced the arrests, and the seizure of three vehicles – all of which took place at a residence in White Rock – in a news release issued late Monday afternoon."

Surrey Six appeal causes more delays

CBC is reporting that "Canada's highest court has agreed to hear an appeal involving four RCMP officers who investigated the so-called Surrey Six murders in Surrey, B.C. The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled it will hear special prosecutor Chris Considine's appeals of a 2015 ruling from the B.C. Supreme Court and a 2017 decision from the B.C. Court of Appeal."

RCMP officers Derek Brassington and Paul Johnston, David Attew and Danny Michaud face charges including breach of trust, obstruction of justice and fraud. The trial for the four men was expected to begin in 2013, but has been delayed repeatedly.

This is a colossal concern because this is what's holding up Jamie Bacon's trial which could in fact see him get off due to trial delays and would be a crime against humanity. An RCMP officer slept with a witness in the Surrey Six. That was unprofessional. Having an affair on his wife was cheap. Yet none of that has anything whatsoever to do with the Surrey Six murder and investigation. Jamie Bacon's trial needs to proceed. Delaying that trial any more is simply wrong.

The CBC article is referring to Chris Considine's appeals of a 2015 ruling from the B.C. Supreme Court and a 2017 decision from the B.C. Court of Appeal. We need to find out which decisions the special prosecutor is appealing. Publication bans prevent revealing details of the decisions publically but not privately. One would think the special prosecutor would not be appealing a decision that convicted the police he charged.

The thing is, the four officers have not been convicted yet. Their trial is being delayed to allow for the completion of this appeal proceedings. Police misconduct charges in this case were filed by the Ontario Provincial Police. Let's hope the RCMP aren't putting the trial of Jamie Bacon at risk just to cover up more police misconduct like they did during the Pickton inquiry.

Shooting in South Surrey

The Peacarch News is reporting that "Surrey RCMP are investigating a shooting near the corner of 148 Street and 30 Avenue" shortly afer 7:00 PM Saturday.

Gangsters out endorses Andrew Wilkinson

Why would an activist from Surrey support Andrew Wilkinson over Dianne Watts? Wait till I tell ye: Because I am from Surrey. I saw what Dianne Watts did to Surrey and I stand as a witness declaring that it was not good. She was a bully who said one thing and did another. She left us with record debt and an organized crime problem that was never confronted. Andrew Wilkinson on the other hand has potential. He is a former lawyer who has worked with the BC Civil Liberties Union and was a physician before that. I kid you not. The guy is educated.

Andrew Wilkinson was President of the BC Civil Liberties Union from 1993-95. In response to John Horgan and Andrew Weaver's recent decision to use tax dollars to fund political parties he said: “We think it’s inappropriate to have taxpayers fund political parties. Political parties should raise their own money, and not turn to taxpayers.” He is absolutely right.

If anyone can unite the bright in response to the NDP in BC he can. Not with kool aid and hype but with sincerity and competence. BC doesn't need another another photo op spin doctor catering to conflicted lobbyists. BC needs leadership not spin. We need to confront organized crime without removing civl liberty. We need to maintain fiscal responsibility and keep taxes low so business can prosper. We don't need more of Dianne Watts tax and spend insider trading.

David Suzuki speaks at Surrey Rally - Reducing 104th Ave to a single lane is not progress.



LRT along 104th is a Bad Idea. Dianne Watts is the driving force behind this insanity steamrolling over Hawthorne park and Hjorth Road elementary. As a candidate for the leadership of the BC Liberals Dianne Watts says she wants to lower taxes. Wouldn't that be nice? Unfortunately we all know that Dianne Watts says one thing and does the other.

How is she going to lower taxes when she plans on spending 2.6 billion tax dollars on an on ground railway we don't want or need? The NDP just lowered taxes by removing tolls on the Port Mann bridge. As a result traffic flow changed and we don't need a replacement for the Alex Fraser Bridge and Dease Island tunnel. In so doing the NDP just saved taxpayers an additional 2.5 billion tax dollars through fiscal restraint.

When Dianne Watts was mayor of Surrey she loved spending tax dollars and left us with a record debt. When she was a member of the mayors glutton's council she was obsessed with finding new ways to raise taxes and spend money. She wanted to toll every bridge under the sun and impose a regional sales tax above and beyond the 10 cents a litre billion dollars a year regional gas tax. Even after the HST and the Translink tax hike referendum failed.

Years ago Preston Manning lead a Canadian Ron Paul revolution targeting fiscal responsibility that completely swept through the West. It was rebelling against Lyin Brian Mulroney's tax and spend pork barrel politics. Sadly Eastern Canada saw the reform party as a separatist movement and never bought into it. Instead of giving it time to sink in on the East Stephen Harper merged with Mulronism just to get elected.

Harper merged with the same entity the reform party was created to confront. Dianne Watts is not fiscally responsible. She is part of the same tax and spend pork barrel politics Brian Mulroney and Stephen Harper were part of. That is not something I can endorse.

As far as dealing with organized crime in British Columbia there is not a snowball's chance in hell Dianne Watts is going to do anything about it. She promised us the world when she ran for mayor of Surrey with regards to transparency and crime reduction. When she got elected she did the exact opposite. Over and over again citizens would report drug trafficking in front of businesses in Newton, trailer parks as well as numerous other concerns and each time the complaints fell on deaf ears. City hall and the police did nothing. Dianne Watts blew the whole policing budget going after grow ops and didn't lift a finger to confront crack dealing.

So I am simply recording my dissent. I'll sit this gluttons gallery out and just say you heard it here first. When everything I warned you about repeats itself I will simply say I told you so. Don't look at me, I voted for the other guy. Andrew Wilkinson is the better choice. Go Godzilla.
