Mark Sager

Alexa Liu was a loser in Richmond's mayoral race.

Mark Sager lost in West Vancouver.

Many others were also voted out yet they'll be deciding Metro Vancouver's operating budget for 2027.

And now

And the Martini Studios, the big film studio in Langley, were back in Lundgren as well.

West Vancouver, Mark Sager's gone.

Just before we leave that,

that's one of those amalgamation issues.

West Van? Because I did talk

to a person last night who's deeply involved in West Van civic life.

Mark Sager was hurt by the fact that he had had something to do with some people selling some units in a development in Horseshoe Bay.

And my friend's comment was, a sitting councillor or mayor should not be involved in real estate, period, actively involved.

I don't know why.

In West Vancouver, Kirk LaPointe beat out incumbent mayor Mark Sager.

LaPointe saying he ran promising transparency, accountability and a plan based on public input.

And I think that that then gave them the sense that change was going to be okay, that it wasn't going to be radical, that it wasn't going to be anything that was going to take them by surprise.

But it is a new face and new council, so we'll see where she takes them.

West Vancouver, a bright spot of the evening as Kirk LaPointe wins by 1,400 votes over Mark Sager.

However, three of four incumbents were there, so really the bum that people wanted to kick out there most of all was Mark Sager and more power to him.

And I think that's what we saw in a lot of municipalities as well, right? Langley Township, Delta, West Vancouver, a couple other places saw a lot of these controversial.

Kamloops was a big one.

So I would probably not vote for her.

Let's go to West Vancouver, where incumbent Mark Sager has had a difficult four years of scandal and controversy, which has led him to face off against Kirk LaPointe, former journalist and...

Did he run for mayor of Vancouver

one time? MPA mayoral candidate.

And I didn't always agree, but I thought they were thoughtful most often.

Yeah.

Basically, my endorsement for West Vancouver is don't vote for Mark Sager.

Yeah.

You're keeping an eye on West Van?

Not very closely, but Mark Sager's hanging in there.

We talked a bit about the conflict of interest allegations, uh, last time, which are a little muddy, I think.

Uh, Kirk Lapointe trying to, to make that an issue.
