Mike For Mayor

02/20/2019

Hello there!

I wanted to share with you all the recent North Shore News article breaking down the campaign financing of the recent election.

I'm not mentioned in the article but wanted to let you know that with time, energy and $1300.00 ($1100 of which was for advertising in the North Shore News) we were able to accomplish more than I ever imagined. Just think of what we could have done with $95,000!

So, again thank you for all the support and stay tuned!

City of North Vancouver Mayor Linda Buchanan nearly broke North Shore records for local campaign fundraising in her successful mayoral bid, despite new rules that ban corporate and union donations.. . .

Thank you everyone for your support! This has been a great learning experience for me and I feel like I've grown tremendously as a person. I set goals for myself when I started this campaign and I'm happy to let you know that I surpassed all of them by quite a lot.

Congratulations to all the candidates, winners and losers. You all did amazing and your dedication to this community will not be forgotten.

Maybe we'll see you again in 4 years! 😎

Well folks, it's all coming down to the next few days....and I couldn't be more proud to call myself part of the community that is the City of North Vancouver.

I want to take a minute to thank everyone who's reached out and supported me, educated me on the issues, taken time to introduce me to their friends and family and to everyone who's already voted and will be voting tomorrow.

You are the reason I am doing this. If I am chosen to be mayor of this great city I promise to you that I will bring an energy and passion to city that's never been seen before.

We can do this, but we can't do it divided. Lets all work together for the people, the community and the planet. Let's make 2018 the start of something special.

On October 20th, vote for a sustainable North Vancouver, VOTE Mike For Mayor!!!!

City of North Vancouver General Election 2018

10/19/2018

Sounds like the election is heating up! Advanced voter turnout is way higher than last election!

There’s a healthy appetite for democracy on the North Shore heading into the 2018 municipal elections if advanced voter turnout is any indication. The District of North Vancouver more than . . .

Hello there!

So the good news is that it's one day after legalization in the City of North Vancouver and the world hasn't collapsed!

The bad news is that there is only one dispensary left on the entire North Shore and that's the Herban Art Collective. An independent, locally owned and operated small business and a part of the culture of the City of North Vancouver

The current city council has done an incredibly poor job of planning for legalization. Instead of having interim business licenses available for the active dispensaries, they decided to take them all to court and bully both business and property owners into submission.

These local businesses have invested thousands of dollars into their operations, employ and support local community members and over time have become integrated into the community in an incredibly POSITIVE way. These dispensaries have been open and publicly engaging the community for over 3 years and actively bring in outside money in the form of tourism dollars to the entire business community.

I consume cannabis.I support the cannabis industry.
I support cannabis consumers.

If you do too, vote Mike For Mayor and let's start supporting people instead of treating them like criminals.

There should not be a casino in the City of North Vancouver. That was the one point of unanimity Monday evening during a two-hour Centennial Theatre debate that saw the city’s six mayoralty . . .

Videos from last night's mayors debate at Centennial Theatre are starting to come in now! I'll post them as I get them!

Thanks to everyone at Centennial Theatre for putting on a great event, the candidates for being cordial and debating each other respectfully and thank you to the citizens of the City of North Vancouver for coming out and getting edcuated on the candidates and the facts!

Q. As our city's population grows, traffic and parking needs will grow as well. How do you plan to work with city planners to address the needs of city residents?

I'm told there will be a video link of the event released soon, so once I have that I'll be sharing it ASAP!

Tonight is going to be a big night! Join me and the other City of North Vancouver mayoral candidates at Centennial Theatre from 7-9pm!

In anticipation of the debate, here is some food for thought.

"Mark Jaccard, a professor at SFU's School of Resource and Environmental Management and a contributing author on IPCC reports, said it's time to "put politicians feet to the fire" on environmental issues."
