“I have no doubt that Metro Vancouver and its highly publicized spending debacles and governance failures are going to be front-and-center on the municipal ballot in the upcoming election. With this Charter, Lower Mainland mayoral candidates have an opportunity to let their voters know that they understand the status quo at Metro Vancouver is no longer acceptable.”
