Vancouver rundown for Friday, April 10, 2026.
Federal Conservative leader Pierre Polyev is
calling on Mark Carney's Liberal government to
protect B .C.'s private property rights. Polyev
used a Thursday stop in B .C. to push a four
-point plan on property rights. That plan includes
making sure fee -simple property takes priority
over land claims, rights are secured in future
federal deals with First Nations, Those rights
are safe across B .C., and Ottawa sets up a parliamentary
committee to study the issue. Both the federal
and B .C. governments are appealing the recent
Cowichan decision that found crown and city titles
over land are defective and invalid. Other news.
One person has been killed in a car crash that
closed 264th Street north of Aldergrove late
Thursday afternoon. Langley RCMP say the victim
died at the scene. Another was flown to Royal
Columbian Hospital. The area was closed for most
of Thursday evening while officers investigated
the cause. A 34 -year -old man has died following
an altercation in the Wally area of Surrey. It
happened at around 9 p .m. Wednesday, near 134th
Street and 96th Avenue, possibly following a
verbal dispute. No arrests have been made in
Matthew Neely's death. The City of Vancouver
has approved plans for a 19 -story social housing
tower on the site of the old Ramada Hotel near
Hastings Park. The development is expected to
provide 176 social housing units. There will
be only 20. Below ground parking stalls. Sunshine
with inland highs near 21 degrees on Friday.
And then the forecast is calling for clouds and
