In political news this weekend, The NewsLeader points out this week's Ipsos-Reid poll that shows the BC Liberals leading the NDP by 14 points in the Lower Mainland. Despite this lead, Burnaby is still a key part of the battleground for both parties.

The paper reports that the City of Burnaby has a surplus, caused primarilly by provincial transfers, a housing boom, and an understaffed police detatchment.
