As Global News continues to investigate public spending at the City of Richmond, there has been a troubling incident involving its mayor, Malcolm Brodie. It happened Tuesday morning at a playground in Steveston, B.C. Global News attended as invited guests and, in addition to covering the event, we tried to ask Mayor Brodie about a 2022 European junket taken by employees of the Olympic Oval and the city. In a stunning response, Mayor Brodie grabbed our camera. Richmond’s media relations person intervened, saying the mayor was sensitive to our reporting on Monday that the city and Olympic Oval had refused our repeated attempts to obtain costs of the 2022 junket, which later prompted us to file a freedom of information request. Global's Catherine Urquhart and Jordan Armstrong report.
