Has COPE Given In To The Creme Swingers?

Apparently, even a COPE (read "progressive") Parks Board Commissioner here in Lotusland has fallen under the spell of the Fairway Mafia on the Pacific Spirit Park give away issue .

Vancouver park board commissioner Loretta Woodcock says the deal is a compromise for all involved, but says it is better than what had been proposed by the 'save the course' committee which wanted to give the musqueam 120 acres of pacific spirit park.

While a third of that is still purportedly included in the deal, Woodcock is hopeful future land claims will exclude precious green space in urban areas.

Look.

I know Ms. Woodcock has fought the good fight on many issues.

But this time around, I think it is important to ask - Why?

Why would Ms. Woodcock be 'hopeful' of such an outcome in the future given the precedent that is being set here?
