Rod Clark uses racist language and refuses to withdraw it

I am in state of shock. 

In a long tirade against the Council, Clark made the following statement that Port Metro Vancouver "jewed" us down. When chastised by Councilor Don Bell for his language and asked to withdraw by the Mayor - Clark refused. He said it was a common phrase and he did not say it in a religious way. 

When the Mayor apologized to the City and for the City for Clark's words' Clark just snorted in laughter.

Clark has lost my vote permanently not just for the original comment but for his disdainful conduct afterwards.

I call for him resign.  If you regain some common sense, you'll do it now and quickly and save yourself the heaps of scorn and derision the public is about to give.

You threw yourself in a hole and time to stop digging with justifications that will only make it worse.

Council took strong action against former Councillor Fearnley for far less, they have to impose like sanctions on Clark now to avoid being picking up the stink of the Clark's racist statement.

Video follows when the City makes available, it happened around 8.20 pm.

UPDATE: 

CTV Story with original remarks and Clark's apology the next day.

North Shore News story

Clark has fully apologized so that is the end of it, except for the judgement of the voters in November 2014.
