I’m on my way home after attending the Meet the Candidates at the Kitsilano Neighbourhood House. I submitted a question for all candidates:
“Is it acceptable to use Riot Squads to shutdown Occupy Vancouver?”
My question was lost in the crowd, so wasn’t discussed. So, I Politely insisted my question be answered at the end.
The room stopped, my question was taken seriously, and then, like dominos- no!, no!, no!….
So, there you have it. They were all on video, and not a single person on the board even dared to disagree!
So, can we now ask the Black Bloc to retire! ;-)

BTW, I just sent the same question to Global TV for them to ask Suzanne Anton during their interview at 1pm tomorrow! Stay tuned!
