The ad Jimmy Pattison doesn’t want you to see

The Globe and Mail reported this a couple of days ago. I just saw it on Spacing Vancouver. I think we should do our best to see that the message gets out. As the Globe noted “Getting an ad rejected can often be the fastest route to greater publicity”

Who am I and what is this

I am a transportation economist and regional planner, displaced from England by the abolition of the Greater London Council and a dislike of Thatcherism. Until March of 2004 I worked for the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority on wide variety of policy issues. I have long advocated sensible policies to better integrate transport and land use. And this blog is a way to keep up the pressure! It also allows me to vent a bit on related issues.
