It’s another great episode of For the Record this week with special Guest Coun. Paul Minhas. Host Coun. Daniel Fontaine opens up the podcast with a discussion on an obscure utility set up in 2016 which is owned by New West taxpayers called BridgeNet. They discuss how it will bleed another $677,000 again this year. Have they got your attention yet?
There is a downloading dilemma going on in New West and throughout British Columbia. The City of New West is taking on responsibilities for programs and services that should be administered and/or paid for by senior orders of government. A staff report coming soon is about to provide all of the details regarding how much this is costing New West residents and businesses each year.
A NWP apology leads to a curious discovery on the Community First website. Some of the wording on their site has quietly been changed to strike out references to the BC NDP. But why so?
Conspiracy theories abound as a select few ‘keyboard warriors’ talking to themselves in their echo chamber make false assertions about who was planning a townhall forum at the New West SkyTrain station. What are the facts? Just who was organizing the townhall forum that suddenly got cancelled with little advance notice? Time for the facts, please!
Host Daniel Fontaine is interviewed by Mike Smyth from CKNW about skyrocketing tax increases being proposed by Metro Vancouver – our unelected, unaccountable and increasingly expensive regional government.
CKNW’s Jas Johal Show also invited Fontaine on to the podcast to talk Metro Vancouver and a proposal to expand the Pattullo Bridge to six lanes. Incredibly, Fontaine does a policy flip flop and agrees to the expansion – but with a caveat! A pretty big caveat!
PS we even have a special Sesame Street appearance this week!
