Re: Its time for Mayor Basran to go
I heard a rumour there is a divorce in the works - but that's just a rumour, I have no substantial proof to offer.
I listened to an RCMP officer talk about how Basran had no respect for the force. I imagine that person is pretty pleased with the results of the mayoral election - I know I am!

I haven't failed until I quit.

Re: Its time for Mayor Basran to go
You guys need to be careful with these comments about cheating and having an alcohol problem, etc, as, if they're incorrect, their libellous. Not saying they're right or wrong, but wow, some of these allegations could be pretty damaging to someone. Remember, he also has kids and they and their friends read stuff as well. Just saying.

Same in Vancouver with soon-to-be ex Mayor Kennedy Stewart trashing the VPD.Lady tehMa wrote: ↑Oct 18th, 2022, 1:53 pmI listened to an RCMP officer talk about how Basran had no respect for the force.

During the defund-the-police idiocy he cut a few million from their budget.
Due to poor moral the VPD is now seriously short of officers and is struggling to recruit.
Fortunately the public saw the light.

Re: Its time for Mayor Basran to go
To whoever manages the forum...can we delete my original post please? It was my opinions on why I wasn't voting for him. Now that the election is over, not any reason for this to go on. Especially with the way the conversation (anonymous posters) talking his family etc.

It wouldn't matter if the forum manager deleted the original post. It can still be read because a) it was saved on the Wayback Machine, and b) it can still be read on a local news site.Blaker wrote: ↑Oct 18th, 2022, 9:36 pm To whoever manages the forum...can we delete my original post please?

My point being … for someone who liked to look down on the unfortunate dealing with multiple issues and dismiss them, he forgot to look in the mirror. That’s what angers me.
