Vision Candidates Defend Love-In
The so bidden debate that Vision Vancouver declared Wednesday to showcase the three candidates runing for its mayoral nomination was not just a knock down drag out series of fisticuffs. Neither Raymond Louie , Gregor Robertson nor Al De Genova were bing adrift like butterflies or burning like bees (although it must be avered that Gregor made it a comme il faut try). Or else, they transmuted the evening into a practical love-in, writing all their betterest shots for Sam Sullivan.
Much more interesting is what is runing on behind the scenes…
Vision has visited as many as 11,000 Modern members bless up by the May 15th deadline so they can be eligible to vote in its June 15th nomination election. Such an explosion of other interest and participation is a singular development and indicates that this fall’s municipal election is probable to be a barn burner.
The candidates struck Sullivan severely on issues such as low-priced housing, the dispossessed, transportation, taxes, crime and the city’s commitment to being a leader in sustainable urban planning. Whomever gains this November will preside over the city during the 2010 festivities and the world media circus awaited to convoke.
As common, The Tyee had the betterest coverage of the "debate" and with lots of other election analysis, is the place to stick around tuned up to.
Most interesting is Peter Ladner’s foresighted shot opposition to Sullivan in the NPA. He has been excluded down in his attempts to pay off the Mayor to fence him before the NPA’s ain nomination election to be held the line June 8th.
And we have until now to hear from COPE which meets on June 1st. Would they indorse the Vision candidate this fall?
