Sophie to the Rescue


It is always dangerius to read the Sun's Frances Bula on City Hall.


After 3 years of worshipping Larry Campbell without shame every morning on the front page, Bula has still been allowed to cover this important beat. Why?


This morning, she did it again.


In noting that The Nutty Mayor has some federal Liberal support, Bula Bula adds, in a great leap of non-logic, that "should allay past crticisms about Sullivan that he has surrounded himself with federal Conservatives."


Well, Frannie, here's the double scoop:


Sam has surrounded himself with federal Conservatives. That is not a criticism; that is fact.


And, being the wily little opportunist that he is, The Nutty One has added a few Liberal sychophants to the corral as well. One does not negate the other.


Now, look at the high quality that Nutty is choosing.


Former Liberal MP Sophie Leung.


Now there's a doer.


Can anybody point to a single contribution to the general commweal made by this ghost?


I say, "Keep up the good work, Sam. Surround yourself with shadows. That'll have great results. For us."

Sam Sullivan and Sophie Leung, I can't think to two greater political embarrassments.

David,

I spent the last couple of days visiting with my 89 year old Mom. She lives in Sidney on Vancouver Island. We were watching the news last night and mayor Sam appeared taking credit for bringing new transit services to Vancouver.

My Mom listened to him and then opined: "I think he is a very weak mayor".

Thinking about it today, a couple of things came to mind:

One, my 89 year old Mom who doesn't live in Vancouver and hasn't for about 30 years, still has a quick and nimble mind and can spot a fraud like she always could.

Two, this guy is the mayor of the biggest and most important city in Western Canada. It's not just a matter for those of us who live within the city limits having to suffer this fool. We are suffering the same embarassment Toronto did after electing Mel Lastman. We collectively made a terrible error in judgement.

And it is an error that Vancouver voters have a responsibilty to correct.

John B.,

You are spot and, and thankfully, you are far from alone. If there exists today a Sam supporter, I haven't met him.
