BC LIBERAL AGAIN a NO-SHOW

Once again the BC Liberal candidate didn't show up this afternoon for the Vancouver-Mt Pleasant all-candidate meeting. This shows a real contempt for the political process.

I was feeling terribly sad for the residents of the Jim Green residence who organized the meeting even putting on a hot dog barbecue for the occasion. 60 plus residents showed to talk about their mental health concerns and while NDP'er Jenny Kwan and Green Party John Boychuk stayed for two hours discussing the tenants issues and having hit dogs with them after.

Sherry Wiebe snubbed her nose at the residents and that really ticks me off..

In fact the organizer for the meeting, Karen O'Shannnacery, the Executive Director of the Lookout Emergency Aid Shelter confirms that the candidate didn't even bother responding to the invitation.
