E-771 They can't fire you, you quit

Episode Summary

Anti-homeless rhetoric is spreading in Vancouver & the NPA, rumblings about potential mayoral candidates in Vancouver & Surrey and gondola consultation.

Episode Notes

Vile anti-homeless rhetoric is rampant in Vancouver, including from NPA board members, leading to a deepening schism with the elected caucus. Perhaps this is part of why Ken Sim says he's going to run against the party in the next election.

In Surrey, a poll from the National Police Federation sparks rumours about a Dianne Watts comeback. And TransLink's latest updates on the Broadway subway and SFU gondola.
