Surrey
Mayor
Amrit Birring (People’s Council Surrey)
❌ not elected
Amrit was the People’s Party of Canada candidate for Fleetwood-Port Kells in 2021 and is a climate change denier, against SOGI 123, against public health mandates. He hangs out with Stand United.
Here’s Amrit at the May 24, 2022 “protest” against Prime Minister Trudeau:
On one side, you can see a Gadsden flag, a flag of racist US origin most associated today with the far-right. On the other side, you can see Amrit’s Stand United buddy Justin Gordon carrying a noose meant for Prime Minister Trudeau.
Big yikes.

This is Parents Voice BC
Parents Voice BC is a social conservative party that shelters anti-SOGI 123 activists, transphobia, religious fundamentalism, the convoy/freedom movement, and COVID-related conspiracy theories. Parents Voice BC is recommended by Action4Canada.
Action4Canada promotes far-right extremism based in religious fundamentalism. From their website: “Our mission is to protect Canada’s rich heritage which is founded on Judeo-Christian biblical principles. Inherited through our British Commonwealth and embedded in the Magna Carta, these principles form our laws and values and are the basis of a system of governance that sets us apart from totalitarian, extremist and communist regimes.” (Others might describe that as “white supremacist-flavoured Christofascism.”) They rally against SOGI education, LGBT2S+ rights, Islam, abortions, climate change science, immigration, and 5G. Action4Canada predates the pandemic, but quickly began rallying against public health mandates, vaccines, and basic medical science.
