Chapter 1
🔥🔥 Hot question of the day 🔥🔥
Vote in @MikeSmythNews's 🔥 question of the day: the Surrey Board of Trade is being criticised for inviting Robert F Kennedy Jr to speak at an environmental conference.
Kennedy has publicly spoken out against vaccines, so should the Surrey Board of Trade withdraw its invite?
Yes, it’s inappropriate.
No, he should speak.
Chapter 2
Should the Surrey Board of Trade withdraw its invite to Robert F Kennedy Jr?
An American environmentalist will speak at the Surrey Board of Trade later this year but his stance on vaccinations has prompted a social media backlash and demands for his keynote address to be cancelled.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is scheduled to speak at a conference about the environment. Doctors, public health experts and parents are taking to Twitter to object to Kennedy’s invitation.
Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman says they have no plans to cancel his keynote because the event will not feature any discussion of vaccinations. Here’s Huberman speaking to Simi on the Jon McComb Show in the past hour.
Guest: Katie Clunn
From ‘Pro Vaccines in BC’, organizer of a petition for mandatory vaccines in BC schools
Chapter 3
Trudeau set to approve Trans Mountain expansion
Canada looks set to approve a plan to expand the Trans Mountain pipeline tomorrow, people familiar with the process have been telling the Reuters news agency.
Of course, we own this thing: the Liberal government last year took the unprecedented step of buying the pipeline from Kinder Morgan Canada for $4.5 billion.
If it ever gets completed, the expansion would nearly triple the capacity on the pipeline that runs from Edmonton to Burnaby.
Guest: Keith Baldrey
Global BC Legislative Bureau Chief

New survey indicates how many Canadians are feeling lonely
A new survey by the Angus Reid Institute is shedding light on the numbers of people in Canada who say they feel isolated.
62% say they would like their friends and family to spend more time with them, while only 14% of Canadians would describe the current state of their social lives as “very good.”
