Hello there, I'm not a regular poster on here, but JBN knows me quite well. I'm president of the Southsiders, which presently comprised of 150 paid members and about 200 associates. We have an eight member executive board which is frantically scrambling to contain a full on pricing revolt. I'd...

Posted with permission from Regs: The Vancouver Southsiders have secured exclusive MLS pre-sale rights to a few sections of prime supporters seating at BC Place. The Southsiders will be located behind the south net and slightly to one side. We have pre-sale access to rows 1 through 6. Row 1...

Something's afoot.... New roof for BC Place may be announced tomorrow Vancouver/CKNW(AM(980) 5/15/2008 The Premier has called a news conference for tomorrow morning and it’s believed he will talk about the government's choice for a new roof on BC Place stadium. The government has...

Gurps, no offense but I gotta call you on a few points here. Truth be told, Kerfoot does not want to swap land with the Port. I'm sure he'd much rather build on his own land, but he's being forced to negotiate with the feds, because the city will not allow him to build on the site he owns...

Ray Louie was really dragging his heels through the public hearings a couple years back. It was practically along the lines of... "More studies, more consultation, blah blah blah... what does my mom think? What do the seagulls think?"

OK, and Bill Currie got the same one too. I know I'm being somewhat hypocritical about this, given that I've voiced my displeasure with Sam Sullivan's blanket response. That said, Gregor's e-mail at least answered 2.5 of my 3 specific questions to a certain degree, whereas Sam's response fell...

On April 29 I e-mailed all of Vancouver's mayoral candidates about the stadium fiasco... Thus far I've received a blanket response from Sam Sullivan, and a rather encouraging e-mail from NDP MLA Gregor Robertson. By god, dare I say it? He's one of us! [ Note: In fairness to Allan DeGenova, he...

Then you go right back at them and tell them your address isn't important ,because this is a matter of economic and environmental importance to the entire region. Tell them to consider the number of people that will take transit to the Waterfront. That's good for regional air quality, and good...

Thanks very much. Good suggestion.

Yep, I received the same one too. I'm writing again to insist for a proper answer to the questions.

If you'll indulge me for a second, this is incorrect. The various sites proposed within Kerfoot's waterfront lands were deemed unfavourable by city council as a result of the stadium's proximity to Gastown DTES, and incompatibility with planning objectives for the heritage character of the...

First off, please write the e-mails anyway. You're not obligated to divulge what city you live in. At the same time, please don't say anything misleading like "I'm a Vancouver resident and taxpayer" if you're really not. While you might think it gives your letter more importance in the eyes of...

There's two guys in particular I would also put some pressure on. The first is Lawrence Cannon, who is the Minister responsible for Transport Canada, which oversees the Port Authority that is presently stonewalling the land transfer with the Caps. Get him here: Cannon.L@parl.gc.ca Another...

Hi there, Some of you know me from the Southsiders / Voyageurs. Good to see some stadium discussion here. This is a crucial time for the stadium proposal. If we really want to see this thing happen, we really need to get our elected officials off their asses and working the phones to make...
