David Eby To Run For Vancouver City Council

Space July 9, 2008, Matthew Good

The Pivot Legal Society’s David Eby is running for a seat on the Vancouver City Council. Thus, I am fully endorsing his candidacy, and it has nothing to do with his involvement as an author on this website.

David has lobbied tirelessly for the rights of Vancouverites that have been commonly overlooked when it comes to the ambitions of this city. His involvement with the Pivot Legal Society, and all of his other efforts, display a forthright character of dedication and compassion. David’s inclusion as a member of the Vancouver City Council would be a welcome breath of fresh air to what has become a stagnant mess that has focused far too long on placating special interests over dealing with those tough issues that this city has long needed to address.

Thus, if you have the opportunity to help David by lending your vote, please do.

    Matt, don’t know if you have seen this but I thought that it would make you smile (your previous post today made me think you needed a bit of levity).
    BTW…. quit smoking again!! I just watched my father die last year from stage 4 lung and bone cancer. You don’t want to suffer the same self imposed death sentence now do you?
    Now watch the video and smile….please.

    I read this in the paper a few weeks ago…

    When he speaks, all is hush in our house… I fully back everything he believes in…

    LOL.

    Note to self: DON’T POST WHEN TIRED.

    No, I did not read about David in the Strait of Georgia…I read a piece about him that was printed in the Georgia Straight.

    That is excellent news, I often read David’s articles when printed in various papers and on this site and have often hoped someone like himself would be a part of the decision making here in VAncouver.

    Congratulations on your campaign, all the best!

    Good luck to David. I’d vote for him if I could, as I have agreed with everything he’s posted on this website.

    David, your voice speaks for those who can’t. This city needs more people like you.

    You’ve got my vote.
