Tom Gill passes when asked about crime in Surrey



Global is reporting that at the Sheraton's Mayors debate Tom Gill was asked: “What is your priority on crime and policing? Pass,” he answered. LOL I couldn't make this sh*t up. That guy is such a blundering idiot. After the debate he said it was because of his blood sugar. Let's be honest. It's because he is a complete idiot.

This is the guy that was sharing private text messages with the media from one of his former councilors trying to convince the world he kicked her out and that she didn't leave the party on her own accord. Real classy. This is why his own Surrey First former Councillors call him a child and left the party because they have no confidence in his leadership. Mike Smyth needs a new job.

Another fatal shooting within the south Asian community and Tom Gills answer is Pass. I think he needs to pass the gavel to someone else. Dianne Watts says there's only two choices for mayor, Tom Gill or Doug McCallum. I guess the answer is crystal clear then. Maybe Dianne Watts can get a job in Ottawa. I hear they'll believe anything out there.

Setting the record straight



The front page of this weeks Surrey Now Leader was a revolting paid ad by none other than the fallen Godzilla herself. It claimed that there are only two choices for mayor in Surrey, Tom Gill and Doug McCallum. It then quoted Dianne Watts from her lapdog's article in Harold Munro's cheap tabloid of corporate trash who said Doug McCallum would be a step backwards. Not.

I wasn't going to comment on it because for local residents it is self explanatory but for those who don't live in Surrey I will explain why people who live in Surrey hate Dianne Watts so much. It's really simple. We live here. We saw what she did. Dianne Watts was anything but fiscally responsible when she was mayor. She led the city in record spending and put us in record debt. Her mandate was spend money and raise taxes. She spent more money than the left did because she is a neo con. No she is not a new conservative. She is a new con artist.

Everything she says is a lie. Let's start with the most obvious lie. When Dianne Watts was mayor she lied to the press and told them she was t boned by someone who ran a red light on her way home from a drunken gala. The press printed that lie without questioning it simply because she was Godzilla. Contrary to her claim, she t boned the other vehicle her vehicle was not t boned. That part is indisputable. The disputable part was which party ran the red light. She claimed the other party did. The other party claimed she did. Local residents who knew the intersection knew Dianne Watts was lying again so she settled out of court. She is dishonest.

For Dianne Watts to claim Doug McCallum is a step backwards is actually hilarious. Those of us who live here know that Doug McCallum's record on crime and fiscal responsibility was flawless which was in complete contrast to that of Dianne Watts who was anything but. Her claim to fame when she was elected MP was the fact that she never showed up to work.

Dianne Watts claims Doug McCallum is a step backwards because she is facing the wrong direction. She is facing fiscal irresponsibility and crime promotion. Doug McCallum is facing the other direction towards fiscal responsibility and crime prevention. Something she talked a lot about but never confronted. BTW how much of a salary is DW pulling from that "Non Profit" society Surrey First? She just doesn't want to lose another meal ticket.

I mentioned the ad to a coworker and he said Who is Tom Gill? I've never heard of him. He's the one involved with the allegation of voter fraud. Tom Gill denied any involvement but we who live here know he is doing what Dianne Watts does best - lie. The Wake up Surrey movement within the South Asian community in Surrey blew the whistle on election fraud with mail in ballots. None of the other south Asian Candidates were involved. The allegations solely involved supporters of Tom Gill. Recently Barinder Rasode gave an interview about why south Asian voters don't support Tom Gill and it has nothing to do with his race. It is because of his corruption.

Barinder was a member of Surrey first then ran agaist Dianne Watts and Linda Hepner for mayor. That is why Dianne Watts and Alex Tsakumis called her a whore on facebook. They didn't have a problem with Barinder dating Bob Cheema when she was on their slate. They all of a sudden had a problem with it when she left their slate. They didn't want to lose that meal ticket.

In the recent interview Barinder claimed she was too white for the brown voters and too brown for the white voters. I beg to differ. I didn't endorse her because she voted for that dirty casino on rural land despite the public opposition to it just like Tom Gill and Barbara Steele did. That is why she lost the support of the South Asian community. She defied them. It had nothing to do with her race. That's the same reason they don't endorse Tom Gill. He defied them.

If you want to vote for a south Asian who isn't involved in the dirty politics vote for Rina Gill. She is competent and honest. She would make a great deputy mayor. Just to set the record straight.

Tom Gill passes when asked about crime in Surrey

SNC-Lavalin shares fall on news foreign bribery case will go to court - Stop the gravy train! No LRT in Surrey



CBC is reporting that "Shares in Canadian engineering giant SNC-Lavalin fell to their lowest level in more than two years after the company revealed the federal government has decided it won't let the company settle allegations of foreign bribery out of court."

"The company has had the legal cloud hanging over its head since 2015, stemming from allegations that some of its former employees paid bribes to officials in Libya to influence government decisions and win contracts prior to 2012. The RCMP alleges that between 2001 and 2012, the company paid almost $48 million in bribes and defrauded various other entities of almost $130 million." This is just one case of many SNC-Lavalin has been involved with.

This ties in directly with the Surrey LRT Fraud. The Director of South of Fraser Rapid Transit at TransLink is Stephan Mehr. Before that he worked over 22 years with SNC-Lavalin the dirtiest construction company on the planet that is still in court facing fraud and corruption charges.



In 2017 SNC Lavalin agreed to repay Quebec municipalities for contracts obtained through fraudulent tactics. SNC-Lavalin was charged with offering bribes worth $47.7 million to officials in Libya. They are also alleged to have defrauded various Libyan public agencies of approximately $129.8 million. SNC-Lavalin agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle a corruption case filed by the African Development Bank for ordering illicit payments to public officials to secure contracts.

Criminal charges against Arthur Porter, the man accused of committing what Quebec authorities described as the biggest corruption fraud in Canada’s history, were officially abandoned, two years after his death in a Panama prison. Porter was charged with fraud and breach of trust with regards to a hospital built by SNC-Lavalin in Montreal. The list goes on...



Global and the Financial Times has picked up on the story. This is the pattern that keeps repeating itself over and over again. SNC-Lavalin bribes politicians to get government contracts then defrauds taxpayers for much more than the bribe cost them and the work is worth. They make a huge profit from tax fraud. Here's the reason why they keep getting away with it:

Global is reporting that the wealth management spin doctors claim "Should SNC be found guilty, it could be debarred from bidding on Canadian federal work. However, we view this outcome as unlikely, noting (1) SNC has a strong case and (2) we think it is unlikely the government would allow a company employing thousands of people in Canada to fail because of the transgressions of a handful of people.” That is the ultimate lie. It doesn't have a good case. Otherwise they wouldn't keep paying millions of dollars in settlements over and over again.

They were already banned from world contracts for ten years following the company’s misconduct in relation to the Padma Multipurpose Bridge Project in Bangladesh, as well as misconduct under another Bank-financed project.. Giving them the contract to the evergreen line was a criminal act.

The spin doctors claim "we think it is unlikely the government would allow a company employing thousands of people in Canada to fail because of the transgressions of a handful of people." It's not the transgressions of a handful of people. It is their method of operation. Here's the deal. If SNC-Lavalin doesn't build it, someone else in the private sector will. No jobs will be lost. Someone else who isn't so bloody corrupt will put more money in the pockets of taxpayers and employees and less in the pockets of dirty politicians and dirty developers alike.

A Star is Born with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper



I just saw A Star is Born with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. It is profound. I've never been a Lady Gaga fan but I might be mixing her up with Madonna. All the trashy disco sh*t is beyond me. Sex sells and that's what the mob wants so that's what the mob gets. Only I'm not the mob.

However, her performance with Bradley Cooper in A Star is Born was magnificent. As Lady Gaga said in a recent interview the character she plays is very raw and real. She reveals herself without make up and lets her raw talent shine. I have to admit there are some things in Bradley Cooper's character that I can relate to. I'm not a drunk. I had good parents and I don't struggle with drug addiction. Yet I can relate to his desire to be real and say what you have to say.

I don't share his demons and I don't share his conclusions. If anyone is struggling with addiction it will inspire you to get clean. Or at least it should. Never mind the Notebook, this movie will rip your heart out. It will make a grown man cry. In that recent interview Lady Gaga said playing that character changed her. That's the type of movie it is. Well done. Mad harsh respect.

The Fall of the UFC



I wasn't going to comment on this but since I have been asked, I will state the obvious. Conor McGregor is a POS. He is an embarrassment to the Holy Land. His racist insults consistently cross the line. I have already stated that I will not watch him fight again. I stand by that statement. Dana White claims he is shocked and upset by the brawl after the match and that is a bold faced lie. If he didn't condone that kind of crap he wouldn't have let McGregor back. The whole BS brawl was a dirty scum bag's attempt at creating controversy for a rematch. I'm sorry but I'm not watching that either. The cheap trash is too much for me to stomach.

The Fall of the UFC and the rise of Bellator. Those aren't lightweights.

Without the darkness the light would not shine



We've talked about Casting shadows on the Horizon. We've talked about leaning towards Buddha and being comfortable in your own skin. Today I'm going to talk about Desiderata again from the perspective of light and darkness. Yin and yang remixed.

Without darkness we would not know what light is. Without the night sky, we wouldn't be able to see the stars shine. It's the principle of yin and yang. Light and darkness. Good and evil. In the West we see them as opposites in conflict but that is not always the case. In the East they see them as compliments like male and female. Which re-instills the absurdity of the new NDP elementary school curriculum that tells young kids there's no such thing as gender.

Good and evil does exist. We can be influenced by one or the other but the bottom line is that we are free to chose between the two. We are responsible for our own choices and what we do in life echos in eternity. When darkness rises, light shines. Peace.

Doug Ford's carbon tax tour



Tweedle Dee visited Jason Kenney of the UPC in Alberta to rally opposition to the carbon tax. I didn't think he'd be visiting the wicked witch of the west on that visit. OK so let's put this into perspective. Green Justice opposes the carbon tax because it is just another tax grab. Politicians stay up late at night trying to think up new ways to tax people. Then some neocon had a brainstorm. We'll call it a carbon tax. That way all the environmentalists will support it. What a scam that is. Conning the people into supporting a rise in taxes. It's actually quite funny.

I don't share Jason Kenney's idol worship of Doug Ford but I do oppose the carbon tax. However, once again we need to use common sense to balance the extremes. Setting the hype aside, polluting the environment indiscriminately is not a good thing. Importing PCP to dump in Canada is not a good thing. Exporting coal out of the Surrey docks is not a good thing. Natural gas is cleaner burning than coal. That is common sense.

Recently Jason Kenney declared war on the green left and I want to make a call to order. You can declare war on the alt left and the alt right. I'm fine with that but don't declare war on the environment. Green Justice supports business. Sustainable business. Rachel Notley has come across to the rest of the world as a raging lunatic. She insists that she will pollute the entire planet and no one can stop her. Why don't you mine asbestos while you're at it. That's not very progressive thinking. Protecting the environment is like avoiding unnecessary debt. Justin Trudeau's unlimited credit card spending is not sustainable. Neither is excessive pollution.

I'm not saying everyone should ride their bicycles to work. Mayor Moonbeam's desire to ban all cars from Vancouver is insane. I'm saying we should strive for sustainability and strive to avoid excessive pollution wherever possible. Like I said, natural gas is better than coal.

Recently everyone is kissing each others ass over the decision to go ahead with LGN out of Kitimat. I'm kinda shocked. I support natural gas but they just announced that instead of twinning an existing pipeline they are going to cut a new pipeline through an old growth forest and all the environmentalists are cheering at their victory. Did I miss something?



If they are going to clear cut a new pipeline to Kitimat, they might as well twin it while they are at it. That would be cost effective. The problem with Kitimat was and is, navigating tankers in to that harbour. It's not a clear passage. They have to navigate numerous islands in the Douglas Channel. There are risks involved. Would that be better than increased tanker traffic in Vancouver? Perhaps. It's always a trade off. Just fix the price of gas in Vancouver.

I will say Kinder Morgan is better than Enbridge. Enbridge has a horrible reputation for leaking pipelines in the US. Kinder Morgan is owned by Texas. Enbridge is owned by Communist China. Do the math. Green Justice supports Jason Kenney over Rachel Notley. Let's just leave the alt right and the alt left behind so we can balance the extremes and find peace of mind with lower taxes for everyone that allows for a vibrant economy to prosper. Peace.

BTW Privatizing Hydro will not fix the problem. That's what caused the problem. Contracting in that work will fix the problem. It's got nothing to do with left or right. It's just common sense.

Fatal shootings in Mission and Chilliwack, Targeted hit in East Vancouver, body found in Richmond



Anything can happen in a New York minute. The Peace Arch News is reporting that "One man is dead after a shooting incident in the parking lot of the Junction Mall in Mission. Mission RCMP and IHIT are on scene but few details have been released. The incident occurred just after 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 3 near the SilverCity Mission Cinemas. RCMP have confirmed that shots were fired, and a man is deceased, but the investigation is still in the early stages and no other information is being released at this time. The suspect is not in custody."

"One witness at the scene said he heard four loud shots and then saw a vehicle quickly drive away. According to the witness, the vehicle then circled back towards the original shooting scene, a gun could be seen sticking out of the window, and three more shots rang out."

Update: The Chilliwack Progress is reporting that the Mission victim was Varinderpal Gill, 19 and was involved in the gang conflict. A Honda Pilot SUV was set on fire shortly after the shooting.

Targeted shooting in East Vancouver

BC Local News is reporting that "Vancouver police say a man is seriously injured after a targeted late-night shooting in the Downtown Eastside Wednesday. Officers received several 911 calls about shots fired near Carrall Street and East Pender around 11 p.m. When they arrived, police found a 46-year-old Vancouver man who had been shot. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries. No arrests have been reported." That's edging towards Chinatown.

Woman's body found in Richmond

The Richmond News is reporting that "Homicide investigators have been called in after a woman’s body was found in a Richmond city centre home in the early hours of Thursday. Shortly after midnight, Richmond RCMP was called to an older-style, detached home on the south-west corner of Westminster Highway and Minoru Boulevard for the discovery of a body. The body, according to police, is that of a deceased female and her death is considered as suspicious."

Update: CBC is reporting that the woman has been identified as Aspen Pallot, 19. Solaris Onatta Running Dey, 23, was arrested nearby shortly after her body was discovered and has been charged with manslaughter. Weird. The kid looks like a nerd from Big Bang theory. .



Fatal shooting in Chilliwack

The Chilliwack is reporting that "One person is dead following a shooting in the Yale Road and Menzies area of Chilliwack Thursday afternoon. The homicide teams have been called in to investigate the shooting, which happend around 2:20 p.m." Sh*t be cray yo.

Update: CBC is reporting that the Chilliwack victim was Kyle Cromarty, 27.



Shots fired in South Surrey

The Peace Arch News is reporting that "Surrey RCMP is investigating reports of shots fired overnight in South Surrey. Police say there were multiple reports of shots being fired in the 3300-block of 194 Street at approximately 1 a.m. Friday (Oct. 5)." Once again, I object to the new digital encrypted radios the police are using to go off the grid from Scan BC. Now we only hear what they want to tell us. It is not good for democracy or public accountability.

Green Justice is Back Online



As I previously mentioned, the Greenjustice.ca website was hacked and the entire server crashed so I changed servers. It's now back online so it is. Let's get ready to rumble.... Oct 20th - face it.

Not surprisingly, Roslyn Cassells' web site was also hacked but is now up and running on a new server in time for the election. No lie can live forever because truth crushed to the earth will rise again so it will. Dirty tricks from dirty rats can slow us down but they can't stop us. Word.

Green Justice Mayor and Council endorsements

Green Justice School Trustees endorsements

Tom Gill Sucks - Surrey First Meltdown - Private Text messages

Surrey Mayor Candidate's Debate



Update: A slight correction on our Green Justice endorsement. The Peace Arch News and the Voice Online both reported that Brenda Locke and Mandeep Nagra both joined McCallum’s Safe Surrey Coalition. Beau Simpson and Justin Thind ran last year but aren't running this year. Brenda Locke is a former MLA in Surrey. Mandeep Nagra is concerned about drugs and gang violence and also prefers Skytrain over LRT. That's good enough for me.

Victoria Police Chief fired for misconduct



First we heard that suspended Victoria Police Chief Frank Elsner resigned but unlike in Jim Browns case, the disciplinary hearing continued after he resigned. Then we hear that "Although Elsner resigned in May 2017, his service record will now show that he committed eight acts of misconduct under the Police Act which would have resulted in his dismissal from policing."

"Two retired judges acting for the commissioner determined that Elsner committed six acts of discreditable conduct, including three of workplace harassment, one act of deceit and one act of inappropriate use of police equipment. “I have concluded that the decisions and discipline proposed by the retired judges are well reasoned and appropriate … Therefore, there is no need to call a public hearing on these matters,” said Lowe. Since his resignation, Elsner has launched a cannabis consulting business - his profile on Linked In says he is principal consultant for UMBRA Strategic Solutions, which provides security consulting to marijuana businesses.

More cop pot. I wonder if he's going to start working for Andy Richards? Does that means cops who sell pot are not allowed to enter the US? Now two local mayors are complaining that the report implicates them by stating "In the report released Sept. 26, Lowe said Helps and Desjardins predetermined the outcome of the internal discipline process from the outset, and set about navigating a course to allow the former chief to remain in his post.”

Frank Elsner is from Sudbury where he "associated with criminals and partied with drug users, bikers, and hookers. He set up elaborate drug deals, disappeared for weeks on end, was involved in a hitman operation, and had multiple aliases." This is an example of an undercover cop who goes undercover not because he hates crime because he covets that life. I do not. There is nothing in that life that appeals to me and I think married cops that go undercover to infiltrate the bikers gangs because they covet that lifestyle are trash.
