The City of Surrey’s need to hire political insiders shows that its only hope in delivering on LRT promises is to continue to twist the facts and falsify a non-existent business case in order to convince funding partners like the federal government.
A Business in Vancouver report has said that the Earnscliffe Strategy Group has been given a $21,656 contract by the City of Surrey for “strategic communications support”, with the firm’s specific assignment being to “translate the federal government’s commitments on infrastructure funding into support for the Surrey LRT project.”
The report notes that the firm’s B.C. office is headed by a previous campaign co-chair for the federal Liberals who currently form government.
