Joe steps aside!

Surprised this morning to read that Joe Keithley is stepping aside as Mayoral candidate in Burnaby. Not sure what the full story is - I imagine there's more to it than will be made public - but he's saying that he thinks another candidate, Mike Hurley, has a better chance of beating Mayor Corrigan... I had been looking forward to voting for Joe! 

Meantime protests against the demovictions in Burnaby - posted about below, including photos of graffiti now well-covered by the city - were cut short by the RCMP being called in... Doesn't seem like our charter rights to assembly mean much these days (if they ever did).
