Town Hall Meeting - Tonight 7-9pm

At Collingwood Neighbourhood House this evening, from 7–9pm, residents of Vancouver—Kingsway will hold a Town Hall Meeting, because we all know that our member of parliament-in-hiding, David Emerson, will never hold one himself.

• Where: Collingwood Neighbourhood House
  5288 Joyce Street

Tonight will be the first of many such meetings, and our goal is to listen to residents of the riding and document what the concerns, issues and priorities of the constituents of the riding are. A comprehensive report will be prepared and forwarded off to parliamentarians – even to Emerson.

Rumour alert: Heard everywhere, a persistent rumour that Emerson is planning on running in another riding – speculation points to one of the North Shore ridings, such as West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast, John Reynolds’ old riding.

Such a move wouldn’t surprise anyone – Emerson hasn’t a hope of being elected anywhere in Vancouver, even in tony Point Grey, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the now-retired Reynolds pull out all the stops for one of his buds to try to get him re-elected elsewhere.

If true, this move will only serve to underscore how unseemly a politician Emerson really is, unable to face the music and his constituents at any level. If you’ve got any details to share, send me a note at info@realdemocracy.ca.
