The outgoing mayor of Surrey, B.C., is set to face a charge of public mischief at the start of a trial today, two weeks after his defeat at the polls.

Doug McCallum lost by 973 votes in one of the most hotly anticipated municipal election results in the province, after he promised to forge ahead with a plan to replace the RCMP with a municipal police force if he won a fifth term.
