Chapter 1

On yesterday's program we talked about the decision by Surrey City Council to make it illegal to sleep overnight in RVs and campers on city streets. Councillors who were against that move had complained that the language in the amended bylaw bordered on the offensive - and it doesn't make any mention as to what people who live in their RV's are supposed to do. This played out on the airwaves yesterday - and in particular, during my interview with Surrey City Councillor, Doug Elford. Elford was one of those who voted to make it illegal to sleep overnight in RVs and campers on city streets. So we wanted to continue the conversation today. Just before we came on the air today I had the chance to speak with the former Mayor of Surrey, Dianne Watts. Here's our conversation.   Guest: Dianne Watts Former Mayor of Surrey

Then BC Liberal leadership candidate Dianne Watts is on the show to talk about her campaign.

The BC Liberal leadership candidates went to Prince George and it was a real roller coaster for Dianne Watts: she picked up the endorsement of Lucy Sager as Lucy left the race, and then she got whacked by the Prince George Citizen's Neil Godbout for her performance in Saturday's debate.   Chris Gardner and Jordan Bateman break down the week that was for Watts, the leadership race, Darryl Plecas, Site C, Kinder Morgan and more on a Friday morning edition of the ICBA Cast.
