As some our readers know, there's been much talk about Non-Partisan Association councillor Peter Ladner's future in civic politics. For example, is he considering leaving the association and running as an independent or on another ticket? So here's the answer: "I don't know what I'm going to do in the next election yet - whether I'm even going to be in municipal politics. And lots of people have suggested lots of different things to do. And that's been suggested to me for sure." And what about a run for the mayoralty? "That's been suggested to me too," Mr. Ladner responded. And when will he be making a decision about all these suggestions? "Pretty soon - within the next couple weeks."
I thought Peter was going to run for mayor.
As a long time Vancouverite and non-partisan supporter, I hope Peter doesn't do something silly like leave the NPA for Vision.
I don't care what Peter Ladner does. I don't care what Heather Deal does. I don't care what David Cadman does. And I shouldn't care, either.
Until we have an amalgamated GVRD with a single, fully-integrated municipality these supposed contests are really nothing more than adolescent exercises, an expensive re-enactment of high school student council politics, ... always promising to increase school spirit.
