"I also know the importance of removing unsafe trees."

OK, but the trees that COV is removing are not unsafe.

This is what I need more information about. I was told about a walk at 11:00am on Sundays in Stanley Park with an arborist. I am trying to arrange this, working with my filming schedule. Please let me know if you have other sources of information I can read.

We fear that you are in a situation @annettereilly.bsky.social where no matter what your personal conclusions are, you will not be free to contradict your GPV PB Commissioner @tomdigby1.bsky.social who we understand is deeply and idealogically committed to the Blackwell logging contacts.

That is a completely understandable fear. One of many that I hope we can speak candidly about when we meet. ☺️

That skillful response is appreciated.

Gosh! I don’t know if I’d call it skillful, but I appreciate the sentiment. I value authentic communication. Truly.

This very short read gives an overview of the current situation:

All of the information is on our website: https://savestanleypark.ca. There is an "email" button that will get you to the save stanley park team.

Our latest press release may help you understand. It's about the lawsuit we just filed today.

savestanleypark.bsky.social•33 days ago

We can't imagine that as a politician you could be opposed to what your own party's Park Board commissioner passionately promotes.

Please take a look at his pontifications about killing baby hemlocks and turning SP into a tree farm: https://vimeo.com/1052859183

I just published this article on my medium site. Please let us know when you can meet to discuss this very important ecological issue in our back yard!

@annettereilly.bsky.social has good values and I agree with many of her positions. But unfortunately she seems to be susceptible to the false, uneducated narrative promoted by COV, Digby, and Blackwell that "all of those worthless dangerous dead trees in SP need to be cut down immediately!"

savestanleypark.bsky.social•33 days ago

We shouldn't have to jump through hoops and go through GPV executives who we already know will not stand up for Stanley Park just to set up another meeting. If @annettereilly.bsky.social wants to gain votes rather than lose them then she should come to us and ask for a meeting.

True -- I highly doubt the Vancouver voters will vote for a Green Party candidate who is unwilling to condemn the outright logging of the iconic Stanley Park!

savestanleypark.bsky.social•33 days ago

Our petition has almost 22,000 signatures. Although many of the signatories don't vote in Vancouver, many do. I can't imagine they would vote for a party that promotes the logging of Stanley Park, a National Historic Site.

My guess is that Digby's actions and GPV inaction will cost GPV thousands of votes.
