00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:03.540
Vancouver rundown for Tuesday, September 16,

00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:08.859
2025. BC's provincial deficit is now pegged at

00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:14.240
$11 .6 billion and expected to grow to $12 .6

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.179
billion next year. That record high has been

00:00:17.179 --> 00:00:20.140
laid out by Finance Minister Brenda Bailey in

00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:23.399
her first quarter report. In addition to a loss

00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.399
of carbon tax revenue, Bailey says the province

00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.750
has seen decreases in revenue sources from natural

00:00:29.750 --> 00:00:33.030
gas, mining, and forestry. The government continues

00:00:33.030 --> 00:00:35.350
to lay much of the blame on the Trump tariffs,

00:00:35.710 --> 00:00:38.549
conservative finance critic Peter Milibar says.

00:00:38.829 --> 00:00:43.049
The real issue is fiscal mismanagement. Other

00:00:43.049 --> 00:00:45.869
news, a person has been struck and killed by

00:00:45.869 --> 00:00:49.109
a train along Glover Road in Langley. It happened

00:00:49.109 --> 00:00:52.270
late Monday morning in the Milner area. CP police

00:00:52.270 --> 00:00:54.390
will lead a multi -jurisdictional investigation

00:00:54.390 --> 00:00:58.479
into just how it happened. Two cars have been

00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.439
torched and a house shot up in an early Monday

00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.359
morning attack in Abbotsford. The occupants were

00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.359
home, but no one was hit. Police are not commenting

00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.099
on whether they think the attack on Eagle Peak

00:01:10.099 --> 00:01:13.840
Drive is connected to recent threats and violence

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.560
directed at the South Asian business community.

00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:20.480
A house fire that displaced 11 people from an

00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:23.620
East Vancouver home is being blamed on an issue

00:01:23.620 --> 00:01:26.609
with an e -bike battery. Two people were slightly

00:01:26.609 --> 00:01:29.750
hurt, but everyone made it out after the fire

00:01:29.750 --> 00:01:33.730
started at around 5 .45 Monday morning. Firefighters

00:01:33.730 --> 00:01:36.989
say multiple e -bikes were seen and multiple

00:01:36.989 --> 00:01:40.629
batteries were being charged. Last year, firefighters

00:01:40.629 --> 00:01:43.829
responded to one fire a week in Vancouver alone

00:01:43.829 --> 00:01:48.209
caused by e -bikes. Morning fog giving way to

00:01:48.209 --> 00:01:50.989
sunshine by the afternoon on Tuesday. Inland

00:01:50.989 --> 00:01:54.629
highs of 27. A mix of sun and cloud for Wednesday.

00:01:55.099 --> 00:01:58.439
Sunny and a bit cooler on Thursday. For all the
