Show Notes
Pete Fry foils Ken Sim's effort to put the Integrity Commissioner's office into a medically-induced coma. The Park Board releases a legal opinion suggesting a mid-term abolition may be unconstitutional. Surrey wants a Charter. A North Van chemical company runs an astroturf campaign. The People's Park defeats the fire station. And lots of housing - and little parking - coming to Vancouver's east end.
