VANCOUVER/CKNW (AM980)

The developer who's purchased Vancouver's Waldorf Hotel says he has no plans to tear down the popular music and nightclub venue, but that hasn't stopped Vancouver's mayor from jumping on the bandwagon to save the building from the wrecker's ball.


Gregor Robertson says he's directed the city manager to report back to council with options for "protecting" the Waldorf.


The mayor calls the hotel a "significant cultural amenity and a major neighbourhood asset."

    Maybe Vancouver should buy it and have a percentage of the building be for low income homeless. Sound familiar?

    Mayor Robertson and his merry band of hardcore socialists are idiots! These socialist nutbars seem to have a sense that the taxpayer has a bottomless pit of money that they can just give to local governments for what ever purpose that a Mayor and Council sees fit. Wrong! Local governments should not be responsible for any social services activities whatsoever. We have a massive Federal and Provincial government loaded with social services bureaucrats and that is where the initiatives should happen. I object to four levels of government pouring endless taxpayer money into a pit that does nothing to solve any problem. Socialist Mayors like Robertson and Dean Fortin of Victoria are a cancer that must be terminated for their mismanagement of public funds at the local level.

      @joes_2868 Thumper when I am not in the conversation to attack the mayor over useless chatter! I will think it's your grouse wig on to tight and giving you another brain fart! Christy must have refuse your invite to the food cart? She did not want to see you in your pink suit and hear your yapping about the NDP will win if she doesn't listen closely to you. Thumper the grouse in heat along with your Free enterprise coalition buddies bending over for you to get a little thumping from Thumper the Grouse in heat! You guys are anything but free,I bet Thumper Joe, you ask for a tip!
