Mike McDonaldHOST
And they had Diane Watts on stage.
Mike McDonaldHOST
So you had three Surrey mayors representing, except no Brenda Locke, but three Surrey mayors from the last 20 years.
Mike McDonaldHOST
It's a real show of unity there.
Mike McDonaldHOST
Christy Clark was in the audience.
Matt SekeresHOST
But lest we forget Surrey, where in last Saturday's municipal election, they had a change of mayor, right? Yeah.
Matt SekeresHOST
No more Brenda Locke.
Matt SekeresHOST
She was defeated by Doug McCown, the previous mayor.
Matt SekeresHOST
for the city of Surrey.
Jas JohalHOST
with duplexes and, more importantly, three to four units per single-family lot being built, six near transit, and even councils themselves who have seen their authority stripped by provincial legislation.
Jas JohalHOST
Now, the province mandated that density but didn't fund what density needs, according to Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke, who was outgoing.
Jas JohalHOST
There was no contingency, no cost recovery whatsoever.
Jas JohalHOST
And the infrastructure bill was landing on municipal taxpayers.
Vaughn PalmerGUEST
Everyone goes, come on, how much is that going to cost, right? I don't worry about it.
Vaughn PalmerGUEST
It's going to happen, right? Brenda Locke gets elected mayor of Surrey and spends four years trying to undo the Surrey police force, leaving her fingerprints all over the firing of the chief and everything.
Vaughn PalmerGUEST
McCallum comes back, beats her, and Surrey policing services are there.
Vaughn PalmerGUEST
So say what you want.
Mike McDonaldHOST

Mike McDonaldHOST
Brenda went down from 28% to 23%.
Mike McDonaldHOST
Tough Grandma, I thought Tough Grandma was going to take it.
Mike McDonaldHOST
I thought she was going to have support from all corners of the city, enough to get past McCallum, who I perceived had a more concentrated base in Newton.
Mike McDonaldHOST
And when you add up Linda Annis and Mike Starchuk, you know, there might have been an anti-McCallum vote there that would have held the day, but there were too many candidates.
Mike McDonaldHOST
And McCallum's had such a strong base, he was able to power right through all of them.
Geoff MeggsHOST
Well, I'd like Brenda Locke's platform because I thought it all made sense.
Geoff MeggsHOST
And that may just be another failing of mine is that I like these things that fit together where she says, yeah, I'll have to raise taxes a bit and I'll spend it on these community centers.
Jas JohalHOST
Ken Simm, gone in Vancouver, replaced by the first green mayor in Canadian history.
Jas JohalHOST
Brenda Locke, gone in Surrey, beaten by an 82-year-old Doug McKellen.
Jas JohalHOST
Coming back for a fifth kick at it, New Westminster, Delta, West Vancouver, Port Moody, Maple Ridge, both Langleys, all change.
Jas JohalHOST
What's fascinating here is that there's no clean story.
7 MINS LATER
Jas JohalHOST
It was very, you know, SPS, three police services, a huge issue.
Jas JohalHOST
How do you read that one?
Geoff MeggsGUEST
Well, I guess I would joke and say he saw that Brenda Locke was too young and inexperienced and came back to help steer the ship again.
Geoff MeggsGUEST
I mean, he is a legend and now goes back a half century, I guess, in Surrey politics.

Zachary Adam EisenhauerHOST
I
Michael McCollHOST
mean, the good thing about it is the human ventriloquist dummy that was Brenda Locke's gone.
Michael McCollHOST
But Doug McCallum, his big plan was he wanted a 60,000 capacity stadium in Surrey.
Zachary Adam EisenhauerHOST
Yeah.
