Vancouver passes a budget that "sucks" and kills the Living Wage. Progress Vancouver admits to breaking election financing laws. And the City is clearing tents and considering a new hotel.

Meanwhile, Burnaby is running an "alternative approval process" for a green waste facility, Surrey cops allege conflicts of interest and Harrison Hot Springs appeals to the Inspector of Municipalities to fix its council.

Mission school board has banned an extremist group from future presentation and Coquitlam council applauds pro-LGBTQ+ students.

And how you can be in the City of Vancouver's Book of Freedoms.
