CBC Vancouver profiles the @newwest mayoral race and says there is a distinct possibility our NWP mayoral candidate may get elected on Oct 17th!

It's official! The race for mayor of New West has begun. Listen to NWP mayoral candidate Coun. Daniel Fontaine respond to the announcement that after 12 years on Council Patrick Johnstone is asking for another 4 more years to finish what he started!

NEW - With the municipal election campaign heating up, the Metro Vancouver Board is quickly becoming a political punching bag. Burnaby Councillor and former board chair, Sav Dhaliwal has written to the Premier defending the board and its reform efforts. #bcpoli  #vanpoli

@fabulavancouver Our elected reps tried, but there no interest from @TransLinkNews to host a Party on the Pattullo!

Hundreds of people walking the Patullo Bridge on its last day of life, every demographic imaginable. New West should have thrown a party!

Modern- day witch hunt proposed by Chair of Metro Vancouver after ⁦@GlobalBC⁩ reports that top three executives are either on leave, terminated or facing possible suspension ⁦@keithbaldrey⁩ ⁦@jarmstrongbc⁩ globalnews.ca/video/11588622…

On tonight’s #NewsHour: @MetroVancouver seemingly more concerned with who leaked info on its leadership crisis — than the crisis itself. They didn’t want you to know the top 3 executives were either on leave, terminated or facing suspension. @CUrquhartGlobal #bcpoli

Outrageous. An unprecedented attack (well if you don't count Nixon) on great journalism. Metro Van chair is creating his own Plumbers Unit, a la Nixon. #bcpoli

.@MetroVancouver doesn’t think you, the taxpayer, deserve to know its leadership team (as exposed by @CUrquhartGlobal) is in total chaos. Instead, Board Chair Mike Hurley (statement below) willing to spend more taxpayer $ to identify ‘leaker’ of that info. #bcpoli @Dave_Eby

When I started the show on CKNW 5+ years ago, one of our core themes was the size of local government. My mantra’s been simple: get back to basics—focus on community centres, potholes, and garbage pickup. Looks like that’s shaping up to be the theme for the ‘26 elections. #bcpoli

Today marks the one year countdown until the next civic election in New Westminster & Metro! Big changes are coming. @VaughnPalmer @JasJohalBC @keithbaldrey @simisara730CKNW @CBCEarlyEdition @VancouverSun @fabulavancouver @fumano @NEWS113O

NEW - @JohnRustad4BC says a @Conservative_BC government would "get rid of Metro Vancouver and turn it into what it’s supposed to be which is a water, sewer and garbage utility." "We don’t need that extra cost and bureaucracy in our system."
