Safe Surrey Coalition

Their promises come after the re-election of Doug McCallum as mayor of Surrey, who campaigned on building a Newton sky train extension.

His Safe Surrey Coalition took seven of eight seats in the city.

But how realistic are these promises? For more, we are joined by the CBC's Justin McElroy.

Hello, Justin.

You know, one of the things that I'll bring up, and I mentioned this right at the beginning of our previous segment, is who he surrounds himself with in Surrey.

And, you know, it's his Safe Surrey Coalition team.

But you think of Mandik Singh Nagra, Doug Alford, Mira Gill.

This is a group he's very familiar with.

it! People in Surrey also voted for change.

Longtime former mayor Doug McCallum defeated incumbent Brenda Locke with his Safe Surrey Coalition taking the majority seats on council.

Together we're going to build a great city that our families will live in, have jobs, and go to sports, enjoy each other, work together, and live one of the best global cities in the world.

McCallum promised some big ideas such as providing the province with city land to build a new general hospital and a zero percent property tax increase.

So he's the on-again, off-again mayor.

It's the real, like, will-they-won't-they relationship between Surrey and the Safe Surrey Coalition.

And, like, Doug McCallum, you know, for all his many faults, does tend to bring about some major change when he puts his mind to it.

I don't think that we would be seeing Sky Train to Surrey if it wasn't for his actions.

Perfect timing.

Same question for the Safe Surrey Coalition.

I'll repeat the question.

And that is, what will you or your team do to address the rising violence of gay and hippie among youth in our community?

There are some other big dates which we'll get back to in a little bit, but let's focus on the major political slates and key issues in Surrey, BC, and some of the key slates are going to be the active political groups, including Mayor Brenda Locke's slate.

And Doug McCullough, former mayor of Surrey, B.C., with the Safe Surrey Coalition.

Linda Annis, who is currently a seated city councilor with Surrey First.

um as her slate uh and mike star chuck former mla of cloverdale uh a part of surrey bc with imagine surrey and we also will have um Sort of a newcomer with some new ideas is Eichel Evans and the new Surrey Plus Plus.

The third one, lack of infrastructure.

We need to build a lot of infrastructure facilities.

So we put a team together, and I will say right here, the Safe Surrey Coalition, and I've run six times in Surrey.

This is the best team I have ever had, the best team I've ever seen, actually, in Surrey in my years here.
