Vancouver’s Municipal Election 2011: The Dinners, the Debates, the Occupations, the Snoregasm, THE NIGHTMARE! Gregor Robertson Does Nothing Until Someone Dies

83

While I’m writing this, I’ve just finished listening to shades of the 2009 provincial election…..

Just like former premier Campbell did when he was consistently lying through the last provincial election and pretending all was well in La-La Land, Gregor Robertson has spent the morning on the Vanilla Man’s radio show demonstrating what happens when the suit fits but there’s not a stitch of intelligence to be found: Manipulating stats, sounding petulant and outright lying.

The problem being that on the other side of the desk, is Suzanne Anton, much like Carole James (except without the intelligence, consistency and honesty) who can’t finish off the most slippery of opponents–just like Ms. James (sorry, Carole) and for exactly the same reason: Who’s Suzanne to take direction from? Just like Carole, she’s got about five different operatives, with ten different opinions–and then there’s Mike Klassen who couldn’t organize a screw in a whorehouse.

It doesn’t help that as a moderator, Bill Good ranks somewhere between Daffy Duck and Foghorn Leghorn–daft on the mic and bloviating on the issues.

However, two points: Robertson claims to have streamlined City Hall–this is complete, unadulterated horse manure. What he’s done is gutted budgets and rolled over departments, through his henchman, City Manager Penny Bedlam, so that every squeezed out dollar can be used for empty bike lanes to nowhere, wheat fields of fancy and chicken coops for cuckoos. His figures about how he’s turned homelessness on its head is the kind of bunkum I’d expect from a circus clown. And the Mayor’s viral fibbing about previous NPA councils is absolutely breathtaking. Yes, Sam and Co. were a nightmare, but there are enough stats to prove that what Robertson is shoveling about property taxes and the like is just more lies from a man who us clearly out of his depth. His eco-occupation of this once proud city is only going to become less acceptable in the next three years, and that’s if he survives surging NPA fortunes–with Suzanne Anton, incredibly, in striking distance, as shown by both inside NPA and Vision polls. So, look for this Vision nightmare to come to crashing halt by next election, but until then: At what cost???

The uptick in the NPA trend is thanks to the hard work of people like Rob MacDonald, Peter Armstrong and operatives like Marko Dekovic. The clowns that will try to lay claim to any success on the morning after the election, can pretend all they want. I know better.

But the problems in Vancouver run deeper than Robertson’s stupidity and Anton’s lack of ability or who will claim what the morning after.

Last week’s dinners would be meaningless, if they weren’t instructive in how the city now works: Both main parties are completely beholden to real estate developers more so than any time in the city’s history. This isn’t good and I have to wonder just how much monied backslapping and handshaking is going on. This is how the BC Liberal Party imploded, by allowing their donors and top, most accommodative friends unfettered access to the keys of the province: No door was off-limits, no industry remained unmolested–friends and insiders ravished them all.

Well, look for Vision’s attempts to destroy the viaducts to be one such example. The developers with the most to gain are Vision’s biggest corporate cheque writers…that’s if you don’t count the American money of unknown origin, pouring in from the radical, left-wing Tides Foundation.

And this isn’t an issue for the NPA to raise? Of course it is, but they can’t, seeing as though the same monsters, who buy favour, are writing them cheques as well. It’s like they’re in Vegas on ‘Super Bowl’ Sunday and the teams are so closely matched that they need to hedge half of the first bet against the other.

Anyway, I have never seen a more pathetic campaign about absolutely nothing.

The NPA could have turned the ‘Occupy Vancouver’ idiocy into something, but again, Anton’s messaging has been all over the map. She is a viral flip-flopper.

How damn complicated is it to say the Gregor Robertson does nothing until calamity strikes? His office knew about the possibility of a riot during the Stanley Cup playoffs. And he did nothing: Fires ensued, dozens hospitalized, possible fatalities abounded–no more respect for police or the city–all because Robertson was looking to blame everybody else, when in reality, if he’d shown some leadership to begin with, instead of partnering with our dimwitted Premier to foment a perfect storm of thuggery, the riot would have never happened. And let’s not even talk massive cuts to VPD budgets.

The Pandora fire cost three men their lives. His Penny Ballem-destroyed Silly Hall knew about the issues. Robertson knew of the penny pinching that inspectors have been complaining to each other about. His minions have read about it here for over a year. He illegally fired Ark Tsisserev. The writing was on the wall. So what did he do to protect your families? Nothing.

With ‘Occupy Vancouver’, it’s obvious the place is being overrun by every maggot and low-life in town (I was there again last night–and they are very aggressive and completely willing to fight). The open drug use, open drug sales and incredible insanity of the increasingly violent rhetoric isn’t obvious enough?! Nope, not to Hizzoner, Mayor Bozo. Not until there was an overdose, followed a few days later by an overdose death. Only then did it occur to him that his natural, base constituency of dope smokers and anarchists would turn the Art Gallery property into a public toilet and drugfest.

Isn’t it incredible? For Gregor Robertson to get up off his completely unqualified derriere and make an executive decision; to exercise some bloody leadership, there must be a major calamity.

Or, the ultimate calamity, someone has to die.

I bet it makes you all feel a whole lot safer he’s watching out for you and your families.

Apparently, Suzanne’s okay with it all.

Because she hasn’t said a goddamned word about it. Not like I just did and it took my a few minutes to formulate my thoughts.

If Suzanne Anton becomes Mayor, you’ll get Gregor in a skirt.

    I e-mailed the Mayor last week and asked ,like the Pandora fire, was it going to take another death before he acted. Well we all know the answer to that question.

    There are no good Vision folks and Gregor is a complete and utter failure. He has championed the most secretive and fiscally irresponsible government in the Cities history. He has also handcuffed the police department and refuses to enforce the city by-laws until someone dies. Cases in point: Pandora fire and Occupy Vancouver. And let’s not forget the Vancouver riot which he refused to step up and be accountable. The city has become less safe, moving rapidly toward bankruptcy and less liveable under his/their watch.

    Isn’t time to look at some of independents who are fighting these parties to stop the destruction of neighbourhoods and the city?

    I think people should have a good look at Neighbourhoods for a Sustainable Vancouver. All these people have been very active in their communities fighting City Hall over their lack of attention to community input.

    The five who are running under the NSV banner: Randy Helten (Mayor); Nicole Benson, Marie Kerchum, Terry Martin and Elizabeth Murphy (Council). http://nsvancouver.ca/nsv-candidates/

    And in addition Sandy Garossino (independent) who championed the Vancouver not Vegas campaign would be a good choice. All these people put the community first rather than developers and special interest groups. The only NPA would be Bill McCreery.

    Besides his constant lying what’s irritating about Robertson’s CYA antics is that he keeps on referring to the NPA from 3 years ago and what they did.

    It sounds like he is essentially saying “I know me and my councilors have been an abject failure but we are still better than who was there before us”. It’s a sorry state if he actually wins reelection on that strategy.

    Hopefully if it does happen people will be smart enough to take away the control of council from the COPE/Vision cabal.

      Excellent point. In addition, if he keeps referring to the NPA’s previous term as still being problematic, then that means his guarantees of an effective Vision government have fallen totally flat! That means they’re occupation of Silly Hall has been an abject failure.

      As if the overwhelming evidence doesn’t speak for itself.

        Gregor is learning from the wrong people. This is what the current Liberals have been and are still doing. Even after a decade they point to the NDP as their problem. Accountability is severely lacking in all levels of Government. I don’t live in Vancouver, glad of it, but whatever happens there effects the rest of the lower mainland. Keep up the stellar work. Even though I lean to NDP or real Liberal I enjoy your posts. You dig and dig until the truth is exposed. Keep at em. I hope you will continue to hold the next Governments to task and I believe you will in spades.

    My condolences and sympathies go to the family members of 23 year old Ashlie Gough. They now face the horror of burying their daughter and sister; this is something no parent should ever have to face, let alone have scattered all over the Internet.

    Sadly, the one near death by OD should have had Occupy Vancouver shut down last Thursday by the Mayor and city officials. Instead, they pandered to their political base in an act of cowardly appeasement of an anarchist group bereft of any coherent message or strategy.

    A Penny for your thoughts now, Mr Robertson?

      Laws have consistently been broken on site from the very first overnight occupation.

      Those laws are there for a reason: For the Mayor to enforce them. I was there again last night and the violent rhetoric and angry nature of people who, at one point claimed they would “fuck up the TD bank real good” if they’re moved.

      Another suggested an attack on City Hall. Yet another suggested that Ms. Gough, whose tragic, AVOIDABLE death (had the Mayor some leadership skills and integrity) we all mourn, was a victim of capitalism because big money supports te Art Gallery and the spirits took her away.

      This is the kind of nutter that the Mayor has fostered for a month; these are the kinds of insane thoughts and words he has fomented with his lack of leadership and support of anarchy and socialism (that has miserably failed) anywhere it’s been tried.

      You ask a good question, Robbie. But as a man of integrity you should know that the Mayor of Vancouver has NONE, so an answer won’t be forthcoming. Even the notice, penned by Dr. Bedlam, for them to leave, was loaded with absurd drivel. Te public doesn’t want an editorial, they want their streets back–the ones the Mayor and his merry band gave away to scumbags.

        Good god those Occupy idiots are useless and Mayor Moonbeam isn’t much better. I know Ashleigh Gough’s death was tragic, but preventable. Anyways, people are saying that she was homeless. WE don’t know the details why she was homeless. Could be she couldn’t stand the rules at home or could have been tossed out by whomever she was living with.

        Anyways, I’m sure you’ve seen this. I still fall off my chair laughing at their “demands”.

        Mayor Moonbeam, you are a failure at letting this sideshow continue. Get the cops in there and forcibly remove those douchebags! Show us some balls or does Penny Ballem have them?

            Election of Councillors by Ward, instead of At Large, would tend to:
            - reduce the requirement for parties to raise such large $ amounts,
            - result in fewer party sweeps of Council (ie, result in more diversity),
            - reduce campaign costs for Council candidates,
            - give independents a chance to be elected,
            - reduce slavishness of Councillors to the party,
            - perhaps increase citizen interest in their own city.
            - etc.

            Unfortunately, in order to get the NPA mayoral nomination, Citizen Sam shamelessly, but successfully, lied to Vancouver voters about the Ward System in the last Wards-or-Not referendum. . . . That didn’t work out very well for the NPA – but it’s disaster for the rest of us. We wouldn’t have been stuck with this deplorable Vision-dominated Council if we had had a Ward System in place for the last election. I suppose that we would have been stuck with the same incompetent, irresponsible, teenaged-brained goof in the other elected seat, but with a less partisan Council he would be thoroughly destroyed by now.

            Head-up-its-Arse Vancouver needs to wake up and get a Ward System.

              Actually, I totally disagree. I worked with Sam on that campaign and one of the main reasons it was successful, and what you haven’t once mentioned, is that there is a major criminal element that is ever-present with wards. There hasn’t ever been a city in this country that had wards and didn’t experience CORRUPTION, in some form and in part, because of them.

              Bad policy. Bad move.

                    There is a major criminal element that is ever-present with cities.There hasn’t ever been a city in this country that didn’t experience CORRUPTION, in some form. Therefore cities are bad policy and a bad move. We should all go back to the farm and grow turnips and potatoes.

                    I was paying very close attention to what was being put out by both sides in that campaign and I don’t even recall corruption in wards being a significant part of Sullivan’s platform. So I dispute your statement that that was “the reason it was successful”. The reason his campaign was successful was the naivety and gullibility of Vancouver voters.

                    In any case, whatever system is in place, if there are persons who want to subvert and pervert governance, they will find a way. That’s exactly what’s happened here in Vancouver now. I think your retort is just a cheap debating trick, Alex.

                    We’d be better-off with wards.

                      Complete nonsense.

                      I wrote that corruption was mentioned as PART of the real issues that wards would bring. They woul also out neighborhoods against neighborhoods and ghettoize parts of the eastside, for example, where there are concentrations of NDP supporters with ONLY NDP ward councilors. Similarly, the same thing would happen on the westside with the NPA.

                      That’s not a city I want. We should be moving more towards collaboration and not confrontation–which is what wards bring.

                      Anyway, this is all off topic. You’ve had you’re run of a few comments, which I was happy to provide. Please stick to the topic for here in. Thx.

    Ineresting that the Occupiers can decide amongst themselves if they will abide by City by-laws and so forth. And have they paid for the police to protect the camp from theft, vandalism? Of course not.

    and where does it say that their rights over-ride any of ours??

    We have to abide by rules and regulations, why don’t they?

    and one thing is dominant at that protest camp. More stuff in support of Karl Marx and Engels than anything else. Thing was, the Karl Marx regime did not want any opposition and it was rarely openly seen. There was one item in a news article that said the protestors did not like opposition to what it is they want to accomplish. I saw works by
    Karl Marx far more down there than you’d see at The People’s Bookstore on The Drive.

    If they really cared about the down trodden, they would have set up a field kitchen in Oppenheimer Park to help the poor souls quaking in the cold weather down there, but I gather that would be too much for them to set an example. Some of those tents could be used for
    shelter for the homeless (get the picture, Old Boy?), especially now that the cold rainy weather has arrived.

    and just how many of these fools actually vote?

Another thing I could never figure out is why aren’t donations to civic politicians tax deductable for individuals?

    Hi AGT

    I have to say that I just can’t accept Woozy Suzy as the Mayor. I will vote for Moon Beam as I can’t take my taxes going up to put in a street car to no where at 200 million.

    I really think that a mixed bag council is the only solution. Charko, Carengi and Yuen from the NPA are the only people who come across as not being clones of Anton and they will get my vote.

    I’m just really shocked that the NPA and Anton haven’t thrown Jason Lamarche off the ticket for his antisemitic and generally sexist racist blogs. It is this win at any cost and turn a blind eye to people like this in her own party that I will not vote for her.

    On the Huffington Post Conrad Black sets out what the occupiers should be doing in the USA and a lot of it applies here. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/conrad-black/occupy-wall-street_b_1011446.html?ref=canada

    It reminds me of 1969 we were living on our boat at the end of Coal Harbour preparing for a trip and there was a similar hippy camp out on the then vacant tract of land. We watched as the settlement grew and grew and after many warnings, the police moved in and dismantled the site. It is long overdue for the same thing to happen now!

    I sure agree with you that Moonbeam is a gutless wonder.

    I wonder if someone from the Art Gallery can fill us in on the cost of the electricity and water that the mayor moonbeam has allowed the protestors to get from City/Art Gallery for nothing…..Cut the Power off, and clear them out.

    I thought I would share this video of the violence last night at the VAG,

    ..Notice the disrespect shown to the first responders.. for me, the
    hypocrisy is when they need help who do they call? For example when there is an O/D.

    Warning this video might be disturbing to the families of first responders..

    You may find this blog entry of mine interesting- Mayor Gregor most certainly did nothing- and he was warned about the problem…
