Surrey city council has voted to make it illegal to sleep overnight in RVs and campers on city streets

The city of Surrey is making it illegal to sleep in RVs or campers overnight. City council voted 5-4 to enact the bylaw amendment last night. Councillor Brenda Locke voted against -- she calls it "challenging" to people in Surrey who are just trying to get by, and has no idea as to why this bylaw was recommended in the first place… 

Councilor Locke also called the language in the amendment “offensive.”

Locke also said that Safe Surrey city council members made no mention about where the people sleeping in RV’s will go… 

Allison Patton is a Surrey city councillor representing the Safe Surrey Coalition, and she voted in favour of bylaw.

What next for the federal Green Party after Elizabeth May steps down?

Elizabeth May announced yesterday that her decision to step down as leader of the Green Party of Canada after 13 years is what's best for the party and her personal life, noting she promised her daughter three years ago that the 2019 election would be her last as party leader.

The 65-year-old has appointed deputy leader Jo-Ann Roberts as her successor until a leadership convention next fall.

May will still sit as an MP and lead her three-person caucus in the Commons.

The leaders of the federal Liberals, Conservatives, and NDP all tweeted May their best wishes.
