Show Notes

With 23 weeks to go before Vancouver chooses a new mayor and council, the guessing game continues.  Will anyone be brave enough to run under the damaged Vision Vancouver brand? Which of the five men running for the NPA will be chosen by the party at the end of May? Will Green councillor Adriane Carr try to parlay her council seat, and the Green Party’s increased profile, into a run for the top job? A poll by Mario Canseco’s ResearchCo found 35% of respondents think Carr is a good choice for the mayoralty.  But will changing the faces really change city hall?  On this edition of theBreaker.news Podcast, host Bob Mackin interviews Randy Helten of CityHallWatch for his insight and solutions to the transparency and accountability deficit at 12th and Cambie.  Plus commentaries and the regular scan of Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines. Listen to theBreaker.news Podcast.  Click below or go to iTunes and subscribe.
