Vancouver approves of the Climate Emergency Action Plan while Michael Wiebe watches from the sidelines for an alleged conflict of interest that leaves us befuddled. The Mayor has a bold plan to decriminalize drugs by writing a sternly worded letter. At the same time the Vancouver Police are keen on setting up new task forces to undermine the expressed will of Council. Surrey has its own policing issues as they are raising taxes to afford the ballooning costs. And Langley’s Mayor is removed from the Metro Vancouver board by her council under a cloud of confidentiality.
