The Record did a further piece on this situation on February 14th, 2009 and did an even more in-depth story on Record reporter Theresa McManus' blog.
Voice director, Neil Powell, attended council tonight, February 16th. His closing comments were:
"President Obama recently apologized to the American people by saying, 'I screwed up.' If in fact Mayor Don MacLean's comments are correct will you apologize to New Westminster's residents for putting us through the suffering [related to the Canfor expropriation] of the last 12 months."
Mayor Wright declined the offer. He also did not seek to set the record straight and correct Neil Powell's comments regarding what Mayor MacLean had attributed to Mayor Wright. We can only assume then that Mayor Wright did bring the Canfor site and acquisition forward to Metro Vancouver.

Not related to the specific post, but I'm just wondering if this blog is still active/monitored anymore. I just found it several weeks ago, and there is a lot of good stuff in here. But it's been six months since it has been updated, so I just wanted to ask if there are plans to revive it, or if it is dead.
Thanks,
mark
Hi Mark,
The blog hasn't been very active over the last number of months. Post municipal election, then the federal and provincial elections many people (including those w/in Voice) were a little tired. Voice as an organization is still very much alive and well and considering the fact that this blog is a tool for us to get information out to the community and for the community to respond it is only right that it be more active. We endeavour to have that happen from now on.
- Neil
