Is Rod Clark going to run for Mayor again?

Events have answered this question.  Rod would only make a one on one run and not with Morris in the fray.



Now Rod is running against his protege Amanda and all the candidates she has recruited for Voices like Michelle Binkley. I wonder if he just handed his Council seat away?

If VOICES follows its usual pattern, they will pretend to endorse the best 6 candidates although it will be predetermined as it will mostly be the VOICES inner circle who  almost all on the campaign trail now. Rod Clark, Amanda Nichol, Michelle Binkley, Ron Polly, Elizabeth Foder and one more to go before they have to boot someone to create a space.  And of course Mayor wannabe Kerry Morris, now in the Mayor's race who has me thinking the unthinkable - voting for Darryl.

None will have any indication they were in VOICES prior or made a media appearance  on April 11, 2012:
"North Vancouver City Voices, an even newer resident-led group, is offering a similar sentiment. I caught up with Amanda Nichol, former council hopeful and dedicated city hall watcher, to talk about why the group formed."

Really, Independant VOICES changed their name to VOICES, probably trying to break the stain of violating the election laws in 2008.

So as one of the founders of VOICES who will pick herself to be endorsed and published in a anonymous ad paid for by anonymous donors - who are the rest of people in charge?  Let's see behind the curtain, oh great OZ.  ....  Oh, I see, you're too busy fighting a lack of transparency at City Council.So as one of the founders of VOICES who will picks herself to be endorsed at arms length and published in an anonymous ad paid for by anonymous donors - who are the rest of people in charge.  Let's see behind the curtain, oh great OZ.  ....  Oh, I see, you're too busy fighting a lack of transparency at City Council.


Why was someone handed this card by a candidate as a part of their campaigning they were doing at School Board event? Will Elections BC find VOICES to be a Third Party advertiser as they legally declared themselves to be in 2011 and are likely to try again?

It's a good thing that VOICES will have to preregister with the Chief Electoral Officer in Victoria and be accepted before they can take a donation or spend any money. Good thing the law they oppose was tightened up to stop their misdeeds.
