Re: Mayor says fire department is too ‘white,’ NOW, Oct. 10
Mayor Derek Corrigan’s remarks regarding the racial mix of the Burnaby Fire Department at the candidates’ meeting were disgusting, unwarranted and should have never been aired in public. His opinion on such subjects should be kept to himself. He shamed the residents of Burnaby and all those who carry the title of mayor.
I cannot believe nor remember a mayor of Burnaby stooping so low in order to obtain needed votes. Mayor Bill Copeland was an excellent mayor, politician and a true gentleman. Never would you have heard such horrific remarks come from his mouth. Mayor Corrigan needs to step down now from the election for the sake of all who live in Burnaby before more damage to Burnaby’s image is done.
