Geoff MeggsHOST
right?
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.
Jas JohalHOST
Let's j- jump over to Surrey here.
Jas JohalHOST
Brenda Locke is ahead in the polls, but she's got Linda Annas, Mike Starchuk, and Doug McCallum all coming at her, uh, and many other candidates as well.
Jas JohalHOST
Does a crowded field like that protect the incumbent in your mind or, or split the opposition up to make, make it interesting?
Matt StickneyGUEST
Yeah.
Matt StickneyGUEST
Um, Mr. McCallum, he's got a following in Surrey, whether you like it or not.
Matt StickneyGUEST
He will perform.
Matt StickneyGUEST
Uh, Linda Annas, elected multiple times to city council, and Mike Starchuk, uh, you know, a former MLA.

Ian BushfieldHOST
Even just anecdotally, the vibe I've heard out there is this is at best a two-way race between them.
Ian BushfieldHOST
with former NDP MLA Mike Starchuk's Imagine Surrey trailing distantly despite the wild number of press releases I get from his campaign.
Ian BushfieldHOST
Fun fact, a former park board commissioner from Vision Vancouver, Trevor Loke, is writing many of those press releases.
Ian BushfieldHOST
Among Starchuk's many promises were to stop building bike lanes because Surrey needs more sidewalks first.
Sophie LuiHOST
The City of Surrey announced in June an agreement with the WHL's Vancouver Giants to build a new 10,000-seat arena at the site of a Safeway at Surrey City Center.
Sophie LuiHOST
Today, Surrey mayoral candidate Mike Starchuk called out Brenda Locke for the land swap deal at the site.
Mike StarchukSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I went to court to read the record, and I can g- I can assure you, assure you that there's no partner in it.
Mike StarchukSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Hello, Jeff.
Geoff MeggsHOST
Good afternoon, Mike.
Geoff MeggsHOST
What an epic week we've had.
Geoff MeggsHOST
Climaxing last night with the leaders debate.
15 MINS LATER
Geoff MeggsHOST
I'm very concerned about waste and I want to see a strong economy and Basically fiscal performance, but I've got a $5 billion set of tax cuts I want to implement.
Geoff MeggsHOST
So those were the kinds of situations he was contending with.
Geoff MeggsHOST
I'm glad you were otherwise distracted, Mike, because there was no concern whatsoever for the deficit.
Geoff MeggsHOST
That was an empty category last night.
Jas JohalHOST
Uh, let's look o- let's j- jump over to Surrey here.

Bill TielemanGUEST
Uh, perhaps, uh, maybe she's a little bit further ahead, but you've got some serious candidates in that ri- in that, uh, city as well.
Bill TielemanGUEST
And, uh, you know, you've got, uh, Doug McCallum at 82 running [laughs] running again, uh, Linda Annis, uh, Mike Starchuk, former NDP MLA.
Bill TielemanGUEST
Um, so we've got, again, at least four, uh, a- a- and, uh, another, a conser- a branded conservative candidate, Honvir Singh Randhawa, running.
Bill TielemanGUEST
So you've got four fairly serious candidates there.
Geoff MeggsHOST
Mm-hmm.
Mike McDonaldHOST
Um, meanwhile, Mike Starchuk, a former NDP MLA and former Surrey councilor, um, he's proposed an empty homes tax in Surrey modeled on Vancouver's.
Mike McDonaldHOST
So that's, uh, one of... what he's trying to get attention on.
Mike McDonaldHOST
Which, uh, you know, that's a fair issue to bring up, obviously.
George AffleckHOST
I think it's really...
George AffleckHOST
Linda and probably the Mike Starchuk guy.
George AffleckHOST
But, you know, I don't think, I think it's anybody's game.
George AffleckHOST
Anything could happen there.
