Opinion: Despite promises of transparency, the self\u002Dstyled anti\u002Destablishment defender of renters has turned to developers for money.

A spreadsheet found near City Hall by Stanley Q. Woodvine, a homeless writer, also appears to be Kennedy Stewart’s targeted list to raise $738,500 for his re-election as mayor and fund his Forward Together party’s campaign.Sign up to know what's really happening by reading daily editorials and commentary by British Columbia's opinion leadersBy clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

There’s a lot that’s startling about the spreadsheet. The first is that it was printed at all, let alone lost. The government did that. Foreign, corporate and union donations are banned and personal donations are limited to $1,250 this year for Vancouver. Former B.C. NDP president Craig Keating’s goal is $12,500. He’s Strategies 360’s vice-president of municipal practice.

But, it now seems clear that the real money is coming from the vested-interest establishment including Jon Stovell, whose Reliance Properties has done two high-profile “renovictions” in the West End. ‘Captain’ Francesco Aquilini, a Vancouver Canucks’ owner and land developer, has the highest fundraising target of $110,000 with a note that $64,350 has already donated this year.

Corrupt Kennedy saying yes to the tent cities, yes to garbage on the streets, yes to property crime, yes to open air drug markets, yes to assaults on the streets, and now he wants to 'help' Vancouver for another 4 years? Say no to Kennedy the Clown Show! End his circus!
