Tim Louis prefers empty promises
December 9, 2010 - 5:34 pm | 0 Comments Posted by Jonathan Ross
Tim Louis has his facts wrong on the accomplishments made by the current City Council on social housing.
Yesterday, former COPE Councillor Tim Louis wrote an op-ed on City Caucus claiming that the Vision Vancouver led Council has been responsible for no new social housing.
But here are the real facts that Tim failed to mention:
Under the NPA, the city signed a 2007 Memorandum of Understanding with the Province to open 14 sites of social housing.
At the time it was hailed as a landmark agreement, and on paper, it absolutely was. It was very positive.
Except for one thing…there was absolutely no money attached to the commitment.

Daniel Fontaine’s economic development strategies…after the fact
November 4, 2010 - 2:59 pm | 0 Comments Posted by Jonathan Ross
It's a good thing Daniel Fontaine is coming up with economic development strategies...over 2 years after his boss ceased serving as the Mayor of Vancouver.
If he is such a whiz at rolling out job strategies, one has to wonder why he didn’t ever assist his boss as Chief of Staff in living up to this commitment made in the former Mayor’s inaugural address:
How did that pledge manifest? In the form of $662,000 spent by the NPA controlled City Council to “develop an ED Strategy…over 3 years from 2006 to 2008.”
And what did that strategy produce?
A set of guiding principles “that define how the City and its appointees will make decisions pertaining to the city’s economy.”
Wow. Now that is economic development at its finest.

FACT OF THE DAY
Quote OF THE DAY
“Perhaps it was my silk dress or the new perfume I’ve been wearing lately. When I asked Suzanne Anton what her New Year’s resolution was, she replied, “To kiss a pretty girl!” and pecked me on the cheek.” – Writer Emily Barca describing her encounter with the lone NPA City Councillor on New Year’s Eve.
