PM TRUDEAU TO MEET WITH VANCOUVER MAYOR
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson today, with their differing views on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion likely to be on the agenda. Ottawa approved the $7.4-billion expansion last November despite Robertson’s staunch opposition to the project. The opioid epidemic and Vancouver’s affordable-housing crisis are also likely topics on the agenda.
