Shortly after Christmas, CityCaucus announced its Top Political Newsmakers of the Year. Since 2010 was the year of the Winter Olympics in Vanouver, its no surprise that two of top stories were related to that. Another top story was the derogatory comments ("F****ing Hacks") that Mayor Gregor Robertson made about Vancouver citizens who spoke at a City Council meeting. Considering that the competition was pretty stiff, it was quite a surprise for this blog to be mentioned as a Runner-up to Newsmaker of the Year.
CityCaucus reports, "Researcher Vivian Krause focuses on the 'mother ship' of all left wing activist cash in B.C., Tides Canada, then looks at how consultants working for the charity are in turn rolling large donations into Vision Vancouver. All questions by Krause to Joel Solomon, Gregor Robertson and Martha Burton are rebuffed, and Tides lawyers start threatening legal action. Vivian goes to Ottawa to tell the story to a Parliamentary Committee and the story about this money trail goes coast to coast in a National Post cover story." Click here.
Note: My testimony to a House of Commons Standing Committee on Energy Security in Canada was about the demarketing of Alberta oil (Demarketing Alberta). For my correspondence with Tides Canada - since 2007 - please click here.
Keep up the good work.
