Mayor Simon Yu says co-operation at all levels of government needed for a functioning Legislature
If Saturday’s preliminary voting results stay the way they are now, following the count of 49,000 mail-in ballots later this week, that means only six of the 45 Conservative candidates who were elected or leading their races are incumbents.
“Being a party coming from two per cent of the popular vote in the last election, if they do form the government they will need a lot of advice and help from other levels of government, whether it’s federal or the municipalities, to really understand the problems and the cause of them,” said Yu. “As a candidate who once upon a time ran for the federal Liberals I know how conservative this area is, so I’m not surprised that all three Conservative candidates won,” said Yu.Yu is familiar with all three newly minted MLAs and predicts they will excel at their new jobs.
“I’ve known Rosalyn for seven or eight years – she’s going to be a straight shooter and tell it the way it is,” Yu said. “She won’t beat around the bush. It might take her some time to get to know the workings of the government but I think her heart is always going to be with the people.
