Show Notes

In today’s Connect FM episode, hosts Vijay Saini and Vasu Kumar cover the latest on public safety and the labour market in Canada: another extortion‑related shooting has struck Surrey, with police linking gunfire at a Cloverdale home to the ongoing extortion crime wave affecting the Lower Mainland. Law enforcement continues to investigate, urging community cooperation as these violent incidents persist early in 2026.

We also break down the federal government’s announcement that low‑wage LMIA processing will resume in Vancouver and other regions in early 2026 a move that could open the door again for employers to hire temporary foreign workers in sectors reliant on low‑wage labour.
