WATCH: Vancouver city council has approved a Climate Emergency Action Plan that could see a toll placed on all vehicles entering the downtown core. It's said to be part of a drive to make Vancouver one of the greenest cities in the world. Another section of the plan proposes a carbon pollution surcharge on gas or diesel vehicles. The entire strategy is not slated to take effect until at least 2025 and meetings will be held over the next 18 months to gather public reaction.
Darpan's social media host Ish Sharma reached out to Vancouver City Councillor Melissa De Genova, Charles Gauthier-President and CEO of the Downtown Vancouver Improvement Association, and a Vancouver resident and commuter-Parvesh Mehta to hear their thoughts on the hotbutton issue of mobility pricing.
The death toll has grown to 320 people, including two recent deaths at a long-term care facility in the Fraser Valley following a large COVID-19 outbreak.
The weapons found ranged from handguns to carbine-style rifles, and police say they also discovered cash and high-end items believed to be proceeds of crime.
In a letter to commissioner Mario Dion, Angus says he thinks Morneau might have broken rules around conflict of interest and preferential treatment in allegedly green-lighting a $12-million contract for WE shortly after co-founder Craig Kielburger emailed Morneau about a youth entrepreneurship program in April.
While the goal is to get the money out before Christmas, Horgan said people will probably be happy to get the cash whether it comes on Dec. 24 or Jan. 5.
Horgan was commenting on a proposal from Dr. Richard Stanwick, the chief medical officer for Vancouver Island, on limiting the potential spread of COVID-19 through mandatory quarantines.
