Me: hey my doors are reinforced carbon fibre plastic. Cool weight savings on my car
Her : waste of time, you’re still a fat ass
Me: you win this round bitch…..
Didn't know about it... otherwise I probably would have tried.
That group has outgrown itself though... it went the same way as BAT did... started out grassroots and has just turned into a rich man's collector club.
Dougie out here playing sim city with Surrey tax dollars. This won't happen, at least I wouldn't think so but what a clown. Why would anyone build a stadium without a dedicated team to play in it? lol, just for hosting shit? What a fucking idiot.
Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum not only wants to build a brand new stadium in Surrey, but he also wants to build the biggest damn stadium in all of Canada.
He said it with a straight face, so we’ll assume McCallum was serious about an outrageous plan to build a new 60,000-seat stadium for “all sports.”
“Part of our commitments that we’re going to say as part of our Safe Surrey Coalition is we are going to build a 60,000-person arena in Surrey,” McCallum told reporters from Cloverdale at the site of a new sports complex that broke ground today.
“It will be a multi-use arena for all sports. The city is a very big city; it’ll be bigger than Vancouver in four or five years. We need a sports stadium. We’re going to build a sports stadium in the next few years.”

Also, whenever I hear Dougie on TV, he sounds like he has early dementia.
Possibly, I honestly think he's all about creating a legacy for himself at any cost to current and future tax payers, reason why he rammed the Surrey Police transition through.
I'm not opposed to the transition away from the RCMP, Surrey is a huge city and really should have it's own police force but I am opposed to the way he did it.

I'm not sure, I'll be voting for the person I think has the best shot to beat him in October, I don't care what their platform is.

He said it would be home to the BC Lions and Canucks. BC Lions said that was the first they ever heard of it. Also, no way Canucks would need a 60,000 stadium. There are enough empty seats as it is.
And this is strictly a Surrey thing. There is no involvement from the Province. He basically just announced whatever he wanted.
