Editor:

Yes, we got rid of Derek Corrigan as the mayor of Burnaby, but what we forgot to do when we were marking our ballots was to rid ourselves of his pro-developer Burnaby Citizens Association council members, which is why Mayor Mike Hurley hasn't been able to change the agenda to favour renters.

Remember, Mayor Hurley has but one vote on any issue, and as long as BCA members control the agenda, nothing is going to change. If we wanted real change, we should have vote to elect anybody except those affiliated with the BCA party.
