This is my first negative comment as a politician! I am so glad it’s from a group that is using their voice to protect our planet. We need all sorts of voices and representation in this world. I appreciate you using yours.

That acknowledgement is much appreciated! You obviously have non-violent communication skills and we would like to respond in kind. Would you be willing to meet with us and hear why we are extremely disappointed by the failure of the Vancouver Greens to stand up for Stanley Park?
Thank you for the recognition. I think respectful communication is the only way to solve problems. But not everyone responds to that, so they? Sometimes you have to yell. Especially when you’re so used to not being heard.
@annettereilly.bsky.social We feel empathy for you as a new politician. We believe your heart is in the right place. Unfortunately you landed with a poltical party which made a big error in judgement by following Mr. Digby's anti- environmental and anti-science lead on SP logging. It will haunt you.
Thank you for the empathy. I can’t help but feel it was followed by a threat. It seems like there’s some projecting happening here, where I am being attacked for an issue that I had no part in.
What I do know of governance is that issues are seldom black and white. I look forward to learning more.
2/2 Telling us to go talk to GPV leadership won't help because we've already done that. The GPV has put itself in the understandably embarrassing position of promoting ecocide in Vancouver. Many passionate citizens of this city will do anything within the law to stop this irreparable travesty.
1/2 I believe you were unaware when u signed for GPV that GPV is complicit in logging SP. But by being a GPV candidate you take on some responsibility for GPV actions.
You are up against many people who are deeply offended by what is no less than the raping of SP. There is no rational other side.
That's great that you want to hear all sides. Please specify how we can meet to talk. TEAM met with us and agrees with our position that Stanley Park should not be logged out.
Is there no way to book a meeting with you without going through the Green Party of Vancouver? We met with them, explained everything. They agreed the logging is a problem then went silent.
She isn't independent. She can't meet with us or take a position without permission from the GPV Board. The GPV Board decided not to overrule Digby, who jumped in head first on the demolition of SP for some reason we don't understand yet.
