Taking Things Too Personally?

I have to admit. I do not like Mayor Sam Sullivan.

And neither do Vision Vancouver. They have asked for an investigation to be launched into the rights and wrongs of Mr. Sullivan personally applying for the trademark of ECODENSITY.

This is an odd move for Mr. Sullivan to take being that we assumed that the ECODENSITY plan was a CITY project and not a personal one.

I have yet to wade my way through the draft explaining ECODENSITY....help yourself, and have been unsuccesful in registering on the website for some strange reason. AND my emails about this problem have not been answered. So I can't say too much about this grand plan with the catchy name.

I do wonder how it really jives with the over development of our fair city.

It is completely unacceptable that Mayor Sullivan would try to personally take credit for ecodensity, considering the work that our staff have done in creating it over the past year," said Vision Vancouver Councillor George Chow said in a news release. "This just goes to show the lengths Mayor Sullivan will go to smother the city in his face and name.

I tend to agree. What do you all think?

Usually, under special Canadian legislation, Cities have the right to 'trademark' certain names and logos, like the centennial logo for example. It has raised many questioning eyebrows when Major Sullivan contracted an outside law firm to apply for the trademark himself.

Sullivan has claimed that he was merely trying to protect the name and the initiative.
