00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.859
Vancouver rundown for Friday, November 28, 2025.

00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:08.140
A distraction from real projects. That's how

00:00:08.140 --> 00:00:11.019
David Eby describes a memorandum of understanding

00:00:11.019 --> 00:00:14.320
between Alberta Premier Daniel Smith and Prime

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.120
Minister Mark Carney. The two leaders announced

00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:19.519
a deal that would pave the way for a new oil

00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.739
pipeline to the West Coast. Premier Eby remains

00:00:22.739 --> 00:00:25.600
opposed to any new bitumen pipeline or removal

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.070
of a ban on oil tankers. along the North Coast.

00:00:29.469 --> 00:00:32.789
EB also says there is no proponent, no route,

00:00:32.909 --> 00:00:36.789
no money, and no First Nations support. BC was

00:00:36.789 --> 00:00:39.609
excluded from final talks between the Prime Minister

00:00:39.609 --> 00:00:44.909
and Alberta. Other news, Mayor Ken Simm is demanding

00:00:44.909 --> 00:00:48.909
new involuntary care beds in Vancouver and a

00:00:48.909 --> 00:00:52.049
closure of two provincially owned SROs on Granville

00:00:52.049 --> 00:00:55.250
Street. That call comes as the mayor continues

00:00:55.250 --> 00:00:58.679
his push to crack down on crime. The Hospitality

00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.759
Vancouver Association says the level of crime

00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:03.859
in the Granville Street Entertainment District

00:01:03.859 --> 00:01:07.079
proves housing people with complex mental health

00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.239
and addiction problems is a dismal failure for

00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.640
that area. Vancouver police now say they found

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.000
a cache of guns, other weapons and drugs when

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.780
they recently discovered that rocket launcher

00:01:20.780 --> 00:01:24.480
in a downtown Eastside rooming house. They believe

00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.980
the rooming house was being used as a supplier

00:01:26.980 --> 00:01:31.780
for drugs for those in the neighborhood. Charges

00:01:31.780 --> 00:01:34.299
have not been laid against three men and a woman

00:01:34.299 --> 00:01:38.599
who were arrested at the time. There's one more

00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.299
reason to hope for great weather on Thursday,

00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:45.359
December 4th. That's when sky gazers expect a

00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.620
so -called cold supermoon will be seen across

00:01:48.620 --> 00:01:51.760
southern British Columbia. The full moon is expected

00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.750
to be brighter. and appear much larger than usual

00:01:55.750 --> 00:01:59.409
due to its slightly closer proximity to Earth.

00:02:00.010 --> 00:02:03.250
The forecast calling for mostly sunny skies for

00:02:03.250 --> 00:02:05.930
Friday, clouds and possible showers for Saturday,

00:02:06.129 --> 00:02:09.789
a mix of sun and cloud for Sunday. For all the

00:02:09.789 --> 00:02:12.689
