Anybody riding SkyTrain in from New Westminster knows that more likely than not all seats are taken by riders that got on in Surrey. Incoming Surrey mayor doesn't care. Wants more of everybody else's taxes including those who live along the SkyTrain route, all the way into downtown Vancouver, to extend Expo Line along the Fraser Highway into Langley. That's what Surrey voters want says new Surrey mayor.
Seemingly unknown and unspoken, this issue is about what's wrong with communities up the south side of the Fraser Valley. Situation has already gone too far with the new 10-lane Port Mann Bridge for Fraser Valley residents who commute each work day to and from Vancouver. Fraser Valley communities including Surrey shouldn't have to be traveling such distances for things that inhabitants of these communities travel for, such as jobs, shopping and entertainment, each a topic in themselves.
"Jobs" topic, particularly spans the economic history of Canada since the end of World War II and Canada's continual loss of good paying export manufacturing jobs. That has left only low-paying retailing and warehousing work that requires both spouses to hold full time jobs to pay down a mortgage. Not to mention that such jobs are a drain on what's left of the Canadian economy since such jobs are dependent on importing products that is nothing but debt. Debt that is supposed to be paid back from somewhere.
From there Canada is suffering, selling Alberta crude at huge discounts. One of the few ways that Canada tries to bring back Canadian dollars that Canadians spend on imported products and imports that Canadian governments spend in the name of Canadians and immigrants, and one of the few dwindling ways that Canadian governments provide value to the Canadian dollar abroad to buy imported products. Just this past week, 90 good paying electrical component manufacturing jobs for the "New Flyer" bus company in Winnipeg are headed south. That's 90 more families that will likely have to have both spouses working full time to pay a mortgage. Increased personal transportation costs, day-care costs both personal and subsidized and lost quality time with family while communist values are upheld as somebody else raises their children.
Everybody should just say "no" to taxation and tell Fraser Valley residents, and every Canadian community for that matter, to address their real problem and get after their elected officials be they federal, provincial, territorial or municipal and restore Canada's export manufacturing sector and Canadian content in manufactured products. Settle producing corporations near their own communities and settle labour, environmental and taxation standards locally so that both employers and employees are privy to guaranteeing a lasting relationship while politicians conduct trade missions, not sweeping trade treaties that guarantee retail access to marginalized and slave labour overseas.
