Off topic, Sean, but will you be discussing the Whitecaps stadium vote this Monday on Public Eye Online?
As was mentioned in Business in Vancouver recently, the same lobbying outfit that backed the Sam Sullivan campaign (Reputations Inc.) will also be backing the "no" side in the stadium vote. This could have repurcussions if Sam Sullivan is the deciding vote on this.
The first item on fisheries is quite a sensitive issue. It might really stimulate debate if a debate could be arranged between, say, Robert James and Terry Glavin.
Footie doesn't seem to understand the difference between being hired by a campaign and "backing" a campaign. The company in question was hired by the Sullivan campaign and hired by the stadium developer. PR companies are, first and foremost, service providers.
