One of the television shows I am currently watching is set in Surrey . Allegiance is a Canadian police drama that follows rookie constable Sabrina Sohal as she navigates her career in a fictional federal police force, rather than the real Royal Canadian Mounted Police . Over the course of the series, she becomes increasingly involved in complex investigations, including efforts to clear her father’s name after he is implicated in a serious crime, while also confronting corruption and internal conflicts within the force, and balancing her personal and professional life. The show highlights Surrey’s diverse communities, particularly its South Asian and Indigenous populations. Sabrina herself is Sikh, and the series explores themes of racism, stereotypes, and systemic bias within policing.

This is a great card from Gilbert, Arizona ! My first thought when I saw the name was that Gilbert must be a small, possibly declining town of a few hundred people. Since it’s in Arizona, I imagined it might have been a mining community that began to fade after the mine closed. However, Gilbert is actually a suburb of Phoenix and has a population of nearly 300,000. The last time the town had only a few hundred residents was around the 1940 census. In the 1980s, Gilbert experienced a population boom. Between 1980 and 1990, the population grew from 5,717 to nearly 30,000. By 2000, it had reached almost 110,000—an increase of more than 400% in just a decade. There was no mine. William Gilbert , the town’s namesake, provided land to the Arizona Eastern Railway in 1902 to build a line between Phoenix and Florence.
