If it's so "Prime" and below market value why doesn't the City of Burnaby step up and make an offer ??

I must remind you, the government has been entrusted by the voters
to be fiscally responsible with the TAXPAYER'S money.

First, their lack of fiscal prudence and accountability created the
need to find the funds to pay off an enormous deficit after unprecedented
construction boom, bringing in billions into their coffers and now, they
are speedily selling off land, at a time, when Real Estate prices have
dropped and it's to save their own hides.!!

What a joke! Garbage in, garbage out! Derek is a true NDP'er just like his MLA wife. He does not realize that the NDP is one united party from province to province across Canada.
He is shooting from the hip just like Ken280, the readers consultant, a man with a briefcase 50 miles away from home, taxed to death, bctaxpayer, and bhappy all do. It is the NDP way!
Derek fails to mention to us why it was okay in Greg Selinger's NDP budget of 2012/2013, in Manitoba to note that dormant, non producing real estate would be put up for sale. His reasons was selling these real estate properties would bring revenue back to the taxpayers of Manitoba, and the funds could be used accordingly for other expenditures.
Derek better realize that maybe his NDP supporters were born yesterday, but not the rest of us.
He better start doing his homework instead of producing propaganda.

This is such a non news item, it should be removed from CKNW's website.
NDP Mayor (I hope he votes for his wife) raises an issue with a well priced chunk of dirt that is such a good bargain that the city of Burnaby wouldn't begin to consider the high market price, but he's got to try and make it an election issue knowing full well that staff made this decision months ago, and no elected official even knew they owned that nondescript corner lot.
Mr Corrigan, you're embarassing your wife, and the leader of her party. Adrian Dix and Christy Clark have both declared "no dirt" campaigns. You just proved that the also rans don't get it. Hope the people of Burnaby remember this when you're up for re-election. Smells of desperation to retain your shweethearts seat in the face of a possibly closer election than most NDPers would otherwise admit. Don't worry though Derek, if you would just shut up and let your better half do the talking, your sweet Kathy may have a chance, so you can still play in the Mayor's chair.

So this is how the corrupt BC Lie BERSLS party balances the books,no surprise to us as they are corrupt to the core.
