Glad to say I'm over 55 and had Winston from Pharmasave deliver my 1st dose of AstraZeneca as part of the 55-65 year cohort. 3 minutes to register online and received my notification 24 hours later. Spots were still open for Thurs and Fri when I left today

Thank you David for calling out John Rustad’s plan to halt construction on the Cloverdale hospital for review. Construction is well underway. He'll set us back years. It's exactly what he and his friends did before when they sold the land. Surrey can't afford it again. #bcpoli

Apparently John Rustad is going around claiming construction hasn't started on the second Surrey hospital.  Construction is visibly well underway and has been for a year. How is he this out of touch with what's happening on the ground in Surrey? #bcpoli #cloverdalebc

John Rustad’s government said a second Surrey hospital would be “surplus” and sold off the property designated for it. We’re getting it done right here in Cloverdale. And with the cuts you are promising, hospitals would be on the chopping block again. #bcpoli #cloverdalebc

Disheartened to see the BC Liberal candidate mislead people by standing at the location of the new Cloverdale hospital while BC Liberal leader Kevin Falcon says he “want(s) to take a hard look at where it’s located.” People deserve this hospital and we’re going to get it done.

Surrey needs a new hospital that will actually provide our community with the services we need. The NDP has failed to deliver on this promise. Our plan will deliver a full-service hospital with the number of beds, a maternity ward, and the ICU capacity our community needs.

Just once, I'd like to see the data instead of listening to the Mayors delusional fantasies. Remember the Mayor said 60% of the current @SurreyRCMP would make the transition over? Find me the memo & I'll deliver a cheque to the charity of his choice for Christmas. #SpeakupSurrey

Is the environment a priority to Surrey's Mayor and Council? Nov 3, 2019 they declared climate change as an emergency, Dec 11, 2018 they shrink the Biodiversity Conservation Program from $3.875 million to $250K. Dec 2, 2019 the programs funding is eliminated. Define emergency plz

As finance Minister, he sold the lands for Surrey's 2nd hospital, saying it was surplus land. The @bcndp is building Surrey's second hospital and now Falkon says he would scrap the project and build it somewhere else, delaying Surrey's 2nd hospital by another decade.

As Finance Minister, @KevinFalcon handed giveaways to big corporations and paid for it by hiking ICBC rates and MSP premiums on everyone else.

@anitahuberman @SBofT @NEWS1130 @CKNW @JanetBrown980 @CTVVancouver @globalnews @pulse1077 @cbcnewsbc @Uber How is it possible for this #OutofTouchMayor to direct staff to do this? Not a single CR or a resolution that has went through Council to be discussed. What gives Czar Doug the Democratic entitlement to stonewall the wishes of the Prov Gov, Metro Van of the Citizens of #SurreyBC

New Surrey Police Board looks for answers on costs, timeline . Anyone seen the data to show the extra $100’s of millions will make Surrey a safer place to live? So far all I see is these exorbitant costs will only make Surrey a more expensive place to live.

The @cityofsurrey will have a deficit of over $80,000,000 in the 2020 budget but we still move forward with increased spending for SPD. Time to press the #pausebutton . Peter German: Surrey, brace for impact: A municipal force will cost more than the RCMP

WOW! Former Mayor Bob Bose asks the current #SurreyBC Mayor “what is the levy is for the affordable housing component?” Doug states he’s not there to answer questions. The retort of the night, “you should be to answer that ?” to which Mayor Mc disconnects the conversation! WOW!

And this is coming from the guy who wants to cut $4.1 billion from healthcare - and cancel projects. That's a risk to Surrey's healthcare we can't afford. #bcpoli #cloverdalebc

Recycling and the #FoamFreeVaisakhi partnership with @CityofSurrey created an awareness to the food stalls about options to serving with #styrofoam . With some effort I was able to enjoy the offerings at #Vaisakhi without using styrofoam...Paper & sugarcane.

When #Stickguy Seth Corbett inspired a #BCLeg LA to draw a stick man comic I asked Seth's Mom if I could get a dozen of these mugs. Last Thursday I gave these to #BCNDP #AdmiralInnterns on the front steps of the legislature. Seth's inspirations live on. #wheredoIgetoneofthose ?
