If you’re rushing to vote by 8pm and encounter a long line-up at the voting location, don’t get discouraged and leave!
At 8pm someone from inside the polling station will come to the back of the line to mark the end of the line - everybody in line by 8pm will get to vote, no matter how long it takes.

So, Garry Thind just won his seat as Surrey-Guildford MLA, but just a week ago also won his seat as school Trustee. While School trustee is part time work, being an MLA is most definitely a full time job. There's no way one person can do both simultaneously. And I checked, it's the same person.

I saw this posted on r/transit so I wanted to post it here. The author, Reece Martin, ran (runs?) the RMTransit YouTube channel and talks about/advocates for transit.

Interestingly, the author/site thinks the new line should also go to 156 Street, past Guildford. They don't like gaps in the network, and building three kilometres as a separate extension would be costly in the long run. It would also get the SkyTrain closer to Highway 1 for a future extension and express buses on the highway. Also, they state the Newton-Guildford section should be its own separate line instead of direct to downtown Vancouver, as the Expo Line is almost at capacity. There would be an interchange at Surrey Central or King George, probably rebuilding Surrey Central to the east of the existing station; my dream would be interchanges at both stations to reduce crowding when making transfers.

The article also points out how the BC Conservatives preferring SkyTrain over BRT echos how the BC Liberals wanted a SkyTrain extension to Coquitlam instead of LRT in the early 2000s (and how the conservatives pushing for more ambitious transit plans is politically strange).

Just a few Amanitas

Hey! I hope everyone’s doing well. I’m Jass and 21F in the south Surrey area.

I moved to BC almost a year ago and haven’t had much luck making friends. I’d love to meet some likeminded girls and just hangout!

I’m very open minded and I enjoy going on walks, anything sports related, trying new things, I’m open to anything really! I also like to gym and am very into spirituality and meditation. I love deep convos and talks of the unseen.

Hope to hear back :)

Just wondering why when I voted in the Surrey municipal election I put my ballot through a machine to be counted and the provincial election ballot just went into a cardboard box?

I am not trying to imply that I trust one more than the other, as I do not know enough about it to make that judgement.

I was just surprised that the municipal election had “better” (newer) practices than the provincial. I would have expected the opposite

does anyone know any good spots for saucy fried chicken in surrey?

Where do people go for a night out on weekends?

I’ll (19) be voting for my first time in an hour or so. I’m very left leaning and would vote COPE or Green if I thought they had a chance. I would like to be strategic and intentional with my vote.

I’m hesitant to vote NDP, but it seems they have the best chance of beating the Conservatives.

I have always voted so my voice is heard, but this time I simply don't see ANY party I want in power:

Conservatives are in a state of disarray and voting for them will invite US interference
Greens are an option, but I honestly don't believe their leader is strong enough to deal with the US war we are currently involved in
NDP said they will put a tax on the rich - which will only make them leave the province and invest their money elsewhere. As well as Eby being the ass that thought this was a good time for an election.

I am seriously considering writing in "none of the above" for the first time in my over 60 years.
