Surrey taxpayers are about to get fleeced. City Hall wants residents locked into a massive taxpayer-backed arena deal while developers and elite insiders cash in risk-free. Families can’t get pool access or ice time, but politicians found money for this vanity project? Enough.
Hard-working families shouldn't be treated like an ATM for City Hall. Linda Annis and Surrey First are pledging strict fiscal responsibility and an end to wasteful spending. #SurreyBC#TaxpayerRespect
"City Hall belongs to the people of Surrey, and mayor and council should always respect taxpayers," says Linda Annis. No more using tax hikes as an easy way out for poor budgeting. #SurreyFirst#Accountability
Surrey taxpayers deserve full transparency on the proposed arena deal. Hundreds of millions in public funds are at stake and must be weighed against real community needs like pools, rinks, parks, and playing fields. Decisions now will impact families for decades. #SurreyBC
Tired of the daily multi-hour commute? Linda Annis and Surrey First are committed to making Surrey the most business-friendly city in BC, bringing high-paying corporate jobs right here to our community.

Surrey has wasted years on a political tug-of-war over policing. Linda Annis and Surrey First will end the stalling, complete the SPS transition, and shift the focus back to fighting actual crime. Let's make our streets safe. #SurreyBC#SurreyFirst
The @surreyfirst2026 party is on the ground and listening to residents at the Cloverdale Market, come say hi and tell us what’s on your mind and what you’d like to see for your city @LindaAnnis
Surrey is one of Canada's fastest-growing cities but policing has been stalled by 8 years of political fighting. Surrey First will deliver a modern, fully supported local force equipped to handle our rapid population growth. #SurreyBC#ModernPolicing#SurreyFirst
Millions in taxpayer dollars were burned on Mayor Locke’s failed, ego-driven court battle against the province. Surrey First will stop wasting public money on lawsuits and redirect those millions straight into frontline crime prevention.

Mayor Locke ordered hiring freezes and refused to pay new recruits while crime pressures mounted. Active sabotage. Surrey First will immediately open recruitment, guarantee officer payroll, and fill critical staffing gaps.

Putting Councillor Rob Stutt—from the Mayor's own party—as Police Board Chair completely kills independent oversight. Surrey First will de-politicize governance, restore true arm's-length accountability, and end party interference.

While extortionists and gun violence terrorized Surrey, Mayor Locke slashed $47M from the SPS budget. Cutting police funding during a safety crisis is indefensible. Surrey First will fully fund our frontline.
