Kandidato Tinanggal, Freeze sa Insurance at Pansamantalang Leave ng Mamamatay — Vancouver Huwebes

🏛️ Pamahalaan at Pulitika

  1. Inalis ang kandidato ng BC Conservative na si Joachim Agou matapos ang mga post na target ang mga komunidad ng Pakistani at Palestinian. Inanunsyo ng pansamantalang lider na si Lorne Doerkson ang pagpapatalsik ni Agou noong Huwebes at sinabi na “hindi siya magsisilbi sa Caucus” kung mahahalal; tinanggal ang account ni Agou sa X at ang pag-lista niya sa website ng partido at tumangging magkomento nang lapitan sa Victoria. Tinawag ng kandidata ng NDP na si Amna Shah ang mga post na “kasuklam-suklam na rasismo,” na nag-udyok kay Doerkson na maglabas ng pahayag ang partido.

  2. Nangako ang BC NDP ng tatlong taong freeze sa basic na ICBC car insurance rates kung muling mahahalal. Inanunsyo ng lider David Eby ang pangakong kampanya sa Richmond noong Huwebes, na ang freeze ay tatakbo sa basic rates sa pamamagitan ng Insurance Bureau of B.C. Ang pangako ay sumunod sa pampublikong debate tungkol sa 2021 no-fault insurance model at sa liham noong 29 Setyembre mula sa pansamantalang lider ng Conservatives na si Lorne Doerkson na tumatalakay sa mga alternatibong modelo.

  3. Muling nag-camp ang BC Conservatives sa Surrey habang papalapit ang botohan sa Okt. 24, may bagong paglulunsad ng mga polisiya. Bumalik si pansamantalang lider Lorne Doerkson sa Surrey noong Huwebes para sa ikalawang araw ng pangangampanya at isang ipinangakong anunsyo ng polisiya, matapos mag-signal ng pagputol sa PST para sa ilang kagamitan ng negosyo noong nakaraang araw; ang Surrey ay may 10 provincial ridings at naging mahalaga noong 2024 nang manalo si Garry Begg sa Surrey-Guildford sa lamang 22 boto. Nanalo ang Conservatives ng anim na upuan sa Surrey noong 2024.

  4. Nagpalitan ng mga panukala para sa maliliit na negosyo ang mga lider ng partido sa buong B.C. sa panahon ng kampanya. Nag-alok ang iba't ibang partido ng mga hakbang para sa maliliit na negosyo ngayong linggo, kabilang ang programa ni David Eby ng pautang hanggang $1 million para sa small and medium firms na naapektuhan ng tariffs at mga pangako ng Conservatives sa PST relief para sa kagamitan; inilunsad ang mga anunsyong iyon sa magkakahiwalay na mga kaganapan ngayong linggo sa Vancouver at Surrey.

🚨 Krimen at Pampublikong Kaligtasan

  1. Inaprubahan ng Parole Board ang 60-araw na unescorted temporary absence para sa pumatay ng bata na si Shane Ertmoed, na nag-udyok ng panawagan mula sa pulitika para baguhin ang mga alituntunin. Si Ertmoed, na nagsisilbi ng life sentence para sa 2002 sexual assault at pagpatay sa 10 anyos na si Heather Thomas, ay binigyan ng absence noong huling bahagi ng Setyembre para kumuha ng cooking classes bago ito ipinagpaliban; nakipagkita ang ina ng biktima na si Jody Aspin kay Conservative MP Frank Caputo ngayong linggo upang humingi ng pagbabago sa mga patakaran sa temporary absence. Tinanggihan siya ng Parole Board para sa day parole noong nakaraang taon.

  2. Nagsaksi ang homicide investigator sa paglilitis ni Adam Mann kaugnay sa pagkamatay ni Tori Dunn noong 16 Hunyo 2024. Sinabi ni Const. Ryan Gerlinski mula sa Integrated Homicide Investigation Team noong Huwebes na nakuha niya ang isang duguang chef’s knife na may putol na dulo noong 17 Hunyo at nangolekta ng DNA swabs mula sa bahay sa Port Kells at mula sa boyfriend ni Dunn; inihayag ng akusado na si Adam Mann, 42, ang hindi siya guilty noong Lunes sa kasong second-degree murder.

  3. Natagpuang patay ng pulisya ang nag-iisang suspek sa panunugok sa Surrey na nag-iwan ng biktimang nasunugan nang malubha. Iniulat ng Surrey police na natagpuan ang nag-iisang suspek na patay pagkatapos ng insidente na nagdulot ng malubhang paso sa isang biktima; patuloy na itinuturing ng mga imbestigador ang pangyayari bilang targeted attack, ayon sa ulat ngayong linggo.

  4. Sinusuri ngayon ang umano’y paggamit ng Discord sa pagpaplano ng pamamaril sa Tumbler Ridge sa isang nagpapatuloy na imbestigasyon. Tinitingnan ng mga opisyal ang mga ulat na ginamit ang mga Discord channel para planuhin ang shooting noong Okt. 2024; nakatuon ang probe sa online communications at posibleng koordinasyon na may kaugnayan sa pangyayari, ayon sa mga imbestigador na na-quote ngayong linggo.
