Show Notes:
Translink controls all transportation decisions in the Lower Mainland. The Translink Board used to be made up of elected officials. But if Transportation Minister Kevin Falcon gets his way, the Board will be run by people appointed by representatives from the Vancouver Board of Trade.
Blair Redlin is a researcher with CUPE. He talks about a new bill before the legislature that will mean that residents of the Lower Mainland will have no say in how they move around their communities.
