Welcome
This website is primarily a historical record of the major political issues in my community, Richmond BC, that interested me from 2015 to 2022. Discussion of the issues and how to deal with them are from my own point of view. The Mayor and the majority of the councillors have seen the issues differently and their views have prevailed. The vast majority of voters are satisfied with the status quo. I am rarely participating in the political arena.
My most recent comments on things of interest to me are in my blog here.
