Councillor Bruce Hayne quits Surrey First civic party

Global is reporting that "With just months to go before Surrey residents go to the polls for a civic election, there’s a major shakeup in the local political scene. Surrey Coun. Bruce Hayne has resigned from Surrey First, the civic party that swept the city’s council in the 2014 elections and which is led by sitting mayor Lind Hepner. Hayne will sit as an independent until the fall elections. He says he’s come to realize his goals don’t align with the party, and that he’s disappointed that there hasn’t been more consultation with the public on issues such as public safety, development and transit." Three cheers. Maybe he's a keeper.

Rats leaving a sinking ship. Did someone say train wreck?

Surrey Strip residents pack up and leave for new homes

CBC is reporting that "Surrey recently received 160 temporary modular homes from the province that are now ready to be lived in. The units - which look like high school portables from the outside - have been set up in three locations not far from the strip in the heart of Whalley. Step inside one of the suites and it's like walking into a university dorm, complete with a private bathroom, mini fridge, microwave and single bed." Nice!

However, Global is reporting that "Global News reporter Janet Brown, who is reporting from the strip and speaking to those who are supposed to leave, says many are refusing to go, which could result in a showdown with RCMP." Why on earth would they refuse to move into nice new University dorms? Because some of them aren't there looking for housing. They are there for the drugs and lawless mardi gra. Now is the time to start enforcing the law and start arresting the drug dealers. If they are just there for the drugs and you arrest the drug dealers, they will leave.

How the Surrey LRT is tied to the SMH parking lot fraud

In 2016, Business Vancouver reported that "Larry Fisher, president of the Surrey-based development company Lark Group and a member of the recently formed Light Rail Links community coalition, said Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner is committed to finding the cash to fund the remaining costs of the project." Larry Fisher, Lark Group, LRT - things that make ya go hmmm...

Jun 18, 2014 CBC reported that New $30M parkade for Surrey Memorial Hospital draws criticism. "Fraser Health is being criticized for spending $30 million of taxpayers' money to add just 300 parking spaces at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Construction is already underway on the new underground parking garage next to the new Surrey Memorial Hospital, which itself is costing $500 million. Fraser Health tore down a 425-space, three-storey parkade to to build a four-storey parkade in the exact same spot. Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers' Federation questioned that decision." No kidding.

I reported on the absurdity April 27, 2014. They tore down a new parking lot only to build another parking lot on the exact same spot. That was a gross misappropriation of tax dollars. When I reported it people at the time said, that can't be right. I said yes it is. My kids were born at Surrey Memorial. I saw it myself and posted before and after pictures. CBC's article confirmed it.

Today I was going through some old memory cards and found some more pictures I took of the construction site at the time. Guess who got the contract? Lark Group. I kid you not.







Surrey First has been Surrey's Worst for fiscal responsibility. We need to pull the plug on Provincial funding for the ballooning costs of the Surrey LRT until the Civic election is over. Linda Hepner and her Fail army is trying to cram through another Site C Dam. If they start construction on it, knowing residents and businesses don't want it, after the election they'll just say well they have starting it we might as well finish it, Not. Spending money on creating an infrastructure nightmare is not worth it no matter what the cost. People who drive cars prefer Skytrain because Skytrakin does not impede traffic. Hey Ho, Linda Hepner's gotta go.

The Book Of Indomitable Virtues

I'm still waiting for my hard copy of The Book Of Indomitable Virtues by Clay Roueche but I do have my pdf version and I am impressed. In the beginning Clay states that "This book was conceived while I was incarcerated and placed in solitary confinement for almost two years. It was through a process of discovery and evolution that this book came to be."

Almost two years in solitary? I did not know that. I know his arrest was illegal but I din't know he was kept in solitary for two years. There was no need for that. Inmates there don't want to kill him. It was simply punitive punishment.

Clay also states "This book was designed to take each virtue mentioned and show them in a positive light." Expounding upon the Chinese virtues taught in the Martial Arts. Now that's what I'm talking about. I'm going to dive into the book and let you do the same. I highly recommend it. Clay's prison transfer back to Canada needs to be examined.

You can order a copy of the book online through Amazon.

Clay Roueche's Art Prints available at Guildford Mall.

OK I have my hard copy now and I really like it. He cites a lesson Genghis Kong learned from his mother when he was a child. She told him to bend an arrow and break it which he did. Then she told him to grab a stack of arrows and try to break them all at once but he could not. Likewise he was taught that men can be stronger when they are united. He cites many historical leaders including Chairman Mao and George Washington.

Clay states that love is the only thing that makes our lives feel complete. He makes reference to a compassionate world and states that although the media has tried to define him, his thoughts cannot be contained. He concludes that his body may be in prison but his spirit is running free. There! The goose is out. In the words of Chief Dan George, my heart soars.

Judy Villeneuve jumps ship

Well this is amusing. The Surrey Now Leader is reporting that "Longtime Surrey First Councillor Judy Villeneuve has announced she will not be seeking re-election this fall, joining her Surrey First colleagues Councillor Mary Martin and Mayor Linda Hepner in stepping away from politics."

Judy has seen the writing on the wall like the rest of her defiant coworkers. Judy Villeneuve used to be an NDPer until she jumped ship and joined the Surrey Worst Junket. Now that Gravy Train is sinking she is jumping ship again. Big Surprise. Did someone say train wreck?



"Bruce Hayne, a Surrey councilor with Surrey First who is also considering a mayoral run as well as Surrey First councilor Tom Gill." Lol Cut the head off the snake and they have no direction left.

Scratch that. Bruce Hayne just jumped ship as well.

Craig Callens hired by WHL to review abuse

CBC is reporting that Craig Callens, the one at the helm during all the RCMP sexual harassment complaints in BC, has been hired by the WHL to investigate abuse allegations. AYFKM?

This is the guy who not only buried sexual harassment complaints within the RCMP that resulted in a class action law suit, he promoted people who were charged with sexual harassment on a regular basis. Right up to brain dead Bill Fordy. The problem was so bad, officers within the RCMP referred to his old boys club of swingers as the FOCCers - Friends of Craig Callens.

Don't take my word for it, take the CBC.

Doug Elford calls for a municipal police force

Global is reporting that "Doug Elford with the Newton Community Association said he is frustrated with incidences of gunplay year after year, and it’s time for more radical solutions. He said one change could be to end the city’s contract with the RCMP and create an independent municipal police force." As I have previously said I am officially neutral on the topic of getting rid of the RCMP in Surrey but I do think the conversation needs to happen.

Things need to change and if that's what it takes, then by all means go for it. I simply point out that creating a regional police force doesn't always fix the problem. The BC Gang Task force is compromised but so is the Edmonton Police Service. We do need to take gang enforcement in BC out of the hands of the RCMP and regionalize that since the RCMP are clear in that that they do not want to investigate organized crime. Then lets find someone who will.

Doug Elford is BTW running for Surrey City council and I do support him. Having the police arrest everyone for traffic violations would be a bit offensive seeings how they are watching the drug dealers sell fentanyl on the Surrey Strip without arresting them. Handing out parking tickets without arresting the drug dealers in pubic view is unequal protection of the law.

Unprotected: The failure of the Witness Protection Program

CBC is reporting that "Noel Harder risked his life as a secret police agent, then spent three years testifying as the star witness against drug dealers, gun runners, mobsters and the Hells Angels. Today he’s a marked man with an apparent $2-million bounty on his head. And he’s on his own. The RCMP kicked Harder out of the federal Witness Protection Program last month and, by his account, reneged on one promise after another.'

We have heard this all before. The CBC previously reported that a Woman in the witness protection program sued the RCMP for negligence. In that case the woman found out that the police were the ones that leaked her identity on purpose to force her into the Witness Protection Program so she would testify for them. That was not the first time that happened.

The CBC reported on allegations of bullying and harassment in RCMP's witness protection program. CBC also reported that another couple claiming the witness protection program failed them wouldn't do it again. This is what we tell people.

If you want to leave the, life just leave. Don't testify and don't become a police informant. It's just not worth it. I tell people if you testify, I can't protect you the police have to. But I warn people if they testify, the police won't protect them forever. Eventually they will leave the program with nothing. Think about it. You have a new name and a new identity. How are you going to get a job without any job references? How are you going to go back to school without a transcript?

In the recent Gang forum sponsored by SAFA, Andrew Bacchus said when he left the life, he didn't have any problems with his gang. He was a drug dealer. When he stopped selling drugs that opened up more territory that other dealers wanted so it wasn't a problem. Them worrying about him testifying wasn't even a consideration. There was no need for him to do that.

At the Gang forum there was a cop from the gang exit program. He said that whe he starts working with gang members there is a huge wall to break down. He tells them he is willing to help people leave the life without getting information from them. That is the exact opposite of what all the other cops do. If that is true, that would be a good thing.

For all those who have been screwed over by the witness protection program, the best thing to do is use your old transcript and job references. Just tell them you did a legal name change because of a stalker which is not entirely untrue. For those of you considering the program, don't.

Concentration Camps for Children - Father's Day March

Who would have thought it was possible in our day? We have a Constitution guaranteeing civil liberty to everyone regardless of race color or creed. Equal protection of the law for everyone rich or poor. The oath breakers claim that the Constitution is just for American citizens only despite the fact that the Constitution says people not citizens.

The oath breakers claim that the CIA is allowed to torture people on American soil as long as they aren't American citizens. The CIA will even torture Americans in black prison sites as long as they aren't on American soil. These are the oath breakers Nostradamus warned us about. OK maybe it wasn't Nostradamus but somebody did.

Separating children from their families at the border is a criminal act. God is watching. We all are. I understand how in Europe the French would like France to stay French and how the Irish would like Ireland to stay Irish. I get that. Here in Canada we are all immigrants. We have created a free republic that is multi cultural. America used to share that ideal. The founding fathers of the US Constitution had it. The creators of the Statue of Liberty had it. Somehow it got lost along the way.

I understand that a country needs to have some sense of order in dealing with legitimate asylum seekers and can't feasibly let everyone in who just walks across the border. However separating children from their families at the border is an evil act that needs to end. Trump agrees and blames the Democrats. Then fix it now.

The Independent is reporting that "Hundreds of people have demonstrated outside a tent camp in Texas that is being used by the Trump administration to house migrant children deliberately separated from their parents under a zero tolerance immigration policy."

"The government announced last week it had opened the camp at Tornillo, 40 miles southwest of El Paso. It is the latest facility to house children who have tried to cross the border by themselves or been split from their families as the result of the enforcement of rules intended to dissuade people from trying to enter the US."

Trump claims " the policy was established by the previous administration and he can do nothing about it without the cooperation of Democrats to completely overhaul immigration."

"One shelter in Brownsville, Texas, which holds nearly 1,500 boys aged 10 to 17, recently opened its doors to the media. The facility, which reporters said resembled a jail, only permitted the young people for spend two hours outside each day."

Is this North Korea or the United States? Please advise. Wasn't this in Rocky IV?



Update: It does appear that the practice of separating children from their parents at the border did start before Trump under the Obama administration. Since the Democrats are using this insane practice to promote themselves, let's do the right thing and end this horrible practice.

Toronto shooting and arrests

CP24 is reporting that "Police have made an arrest in the shocking daylight shooting of two young sisters at a playground in Scarborough. A suspect, identified as 21-year-old Markham resident Sheldon Eriya, was also arrested in Pickering on Friday. He is charged with seven offences, including two counts of attempted murder."

The Canadian Press is reporting that "Police say a man found with gunshot wounds after gunfire was reported at the Polson Pier entertainment complex on Toronto's waterfront is no longer in life-threatening condition. Police say officers responded to reports of gunfire on Saturday night and shell casings were found in a parking lot. They say the man suffering from gunshot wounds was found about two kilometres from the scene. Officers took the man to hospital for treatment. They say there were reports of multiple gunshots."

CP24 is also reporting that "Police have made an arrest in the murder of a 28-year-old woman who was found dead inside her West Queen West apartment earlier this week. Victoria Selby-Readman was found suffering from obvious signs of trauma inside the fifth-floor apartment that she rented at a building on Richmond Street near Niagara Street on Tuesday evening. In a news release issued on Sunday, police said that they have now arrested a 41-year-old man in connection with her death."

"Police say the suspect met the accused through social media websites.They say that investigators believed other woman may have also been contacted by the accused on social media websites. Those people are being urged to contact police. Richard Isaac, 41, of Brampton, appeared in court at Old City Hall on Sunday to face one count of second-degree murder."
