The people of the audience, the panelists, and the moderator, I feel made the debate a complete success.

I would also say that I feel that Gregor’s plans and policies have more heart and perhaps will encourage a richer downtown Vancouver.

I believe Gregor was asked about those particular votes and that perhaps those bills also contained unconscionable items?

Personally I was more swayed and moved by Gregor’s stance and passion.

I’m in the unusual position of knowing both Peter and Gregor quite well and they are both good people. But I am supporting Gregor for mayor because I believe he is completely committed to fighting the worst issue facing our beautiful city – homelessness.

I am very pleased that over 1000 people came out to the event – I think that it shows our citizens want to do something about this terrible problem that shouldn’t exist in a city as wealthy as Vancouver.

I’m sorry that Peter Ladner’s public relations officer Michael Meneer wishes to attempt to spin Gregor Robertson’s position on your website. Anyone who knows Gregor understands that he would only vote against legislation in Victoria because it didn’t go far enough to deal with the homelessness problem, not because he opposed it.

I could give many examples of where Peter Ladner has not done enough at City Hall but that’s not the point. I have no doubt that both Peter and Gregor want to see and end to the homelessness epidemic in Vancouver – I just believe that one of them sees it as more important – and that’s why I’m supporting Gregor Robertson.

Thanks again – some really great pictures of a lot of people I know and others I don’t.

Some examples:

He voted against:
– the Province’s quadrupling of their housing budget which is helping Vancouver to build 3,800 new social housing units

– funding to purchase 17 SROs in Vancouver that the city is now partnering with the province to develop

– significant investments in emergency shelter funding that more than doubled capacity and enabled shelters to stay open 24/7

It’s not enough to say he was in the opposition and had to vote against the ruling Liberals. There is such a thing as voting your conscience.
