Vancouver Votes, Left - Reason #19

Because Sam Sullivan, Peter Ladner and Wal-Mart all share the same - guess what?

PR Firm!


What do Wal-Mart Canada Corp. and the Non-Partisan Association have in common? Answer: communications gurus Allen Langdon and Wayne Hartrick. In an interview, Mr. Langdon - Reputations Corp.'s public affairs director and the campaign manager for councillor Peter Ladner, confirmed his public relations firm has worked for the mega-chain - which was blocked by city council back in June from setting up shop in Vancouver. And Mr. Hartrick, the firm's president, is the association's campaign communications director and a close ally of mayoral candidate Sam Sullivan.

Wal-Mart public affairs director Andrew Pelletier says the company is planning on submitting another development proposal to council after the next election - although he wasn't able to say for sure whether Reputations would be involved in that bid.

That Sam Sullivan is clearly a paragon of virture who really cares about the little guy.

Sure is.

And while we're on the subject of the little guy, where did Mr. Sullivan get all that KnowWards money anyway?
