Three men who hope to be mayor of Vancouver faced one another for the first time last night in a debate hosted by The Tyee and Vancouver 24 hours.
Parks board commissioner Al De Genova, Coun. Raymond Louie and NDP MLA Gregor Robertson all hope to run for mayor under the flag of the left-of-centre Vision Vancouver party in this fall's November civic elections.
They responded to a series of nine questions posed by journalists Janet Dirks of CTV, Irwin Loy of 24 Hours and Monte Paulsen of The Tyee.

Vision Vancouver will select its candidate in a nomination convention on June 15, 2008, at the Croatian Cultural Centre.
The Tyee and 24 hours offered to sponsor a similar debate for the NPA, where incumbent Mayor Sam Sullivan faces a challenge from Coun. Peter Ladner. But NPA chair Matthew Taylor said the party is planning to host its own candidates' event.
To date, no members of the left-of-centre Coalition of Progressive Electors have formally declared for mayor.

COPE DECISION
It will be difficult for COPE rank & file
( the left) to support any of the 3 "Vision" candidates. DeGeneova is ex-NPA ; Robertson, from the debate, its seems has more in common with deGenova than Louie
especially on redistribution of wealth
( tax load shift continuation . Louie was the more articulate and had more specificity and clarity on issues but for COPE he has baggage related to gambling, busfare increases...splitting from the left forces) etc. Another question...can the VDLC support a continued shift of taxes from business to the working class and still maintain credibility with the working people of the city i.e. if it supports Robertson or DeGenova for mayor?

Gregor represents the
Gregor represents the compassion of the left, the business savvy from the right and serves as a cross-section of the remaining candidates of the centre candidates. This unifying force is what it'll take to win in November (and June). His commitment to a truly non-partisan democratic mandate will make him mayor of our city. Thanks Tyee for posting these clips and GO GREGOR!
