Surrey councillor says recent break-ins at his home reinforces the need for a civic police force

Surrey councillor Doug Elford says he was the recent victim of crime. His Newton home was broken into while he, his wife, and their son were asleep.

Elford says it happened a few weeks ago. He awoke at 4am to a noise, thinking it was his son but when he got to the top of the stairs, he saw a burglar run out the front door.

He says nothing was taken. Then just last week thieves struck his house again, this time taking Christmas decorations from outside.

Elford says it all just reinforces his belief that moving to a civic police force is a good move. He says he wants to see Surrey become a safer, more live-able community and he believes a civic police force will do that.

Here’s how much more Canadians will likely spend on food in 2020

Researchers say climate change is the elephant in the room when it comes to why we'll be paying more for groceries next year.

The annual food price report estimates the average family will pay up to $487 more to feed themselves.

Researchers say snowstorms, droughts and other weather events caused by climate change mean Canadian farmers will face challenges dealing with unpredictable crop yields, heat-wave livestock threats, pasture availability, and pest and disease outbreaks.

Next year, researchers expect price increases in all eight food categories they track with the biggest jump - four to six per cent - in meat.

Trump calls Trudeau ‘two-faced’ after video appears to show leaders gossiping

 “He was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top”. The words of Justin Trudeau there, caught on camera apparently talking candidly with fellow foreign leaders about US President Donald Trump.

The video footage has gone viral and shows Trudeau along with France's Emmanuel Macron and Britain's Boris Johnson, discussing the late arrival of Macron. While not mentioning the U-S president's name, Trudeau quipped that Macron's delayed appearance could be attributed to Trump's lengthy news conferences.

Trump responding this morning and he described Trudeau as “two-faced”.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been responding too - saying he has a constructive and positive relationship with Trump. Trudeau says his relationship with Trump has allowed them to move forward on the renewed NAFTA deal and on lifting steel tariffs.
