Gregor Robertson gives reasons for apology in mayoral debate

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Gregor Robertson is providing reasons for his surprise apology in yesterday’s mayoral debate.

Even before his media availability today, a passerby aggressively approached Vancouver’s incumbent to express his outrage in front of reporters.

“This is a whole disaster,” said the passerby, who would only identify himself as “Marino” while getting in Robertson’s face in front of the cameras. “The city’s never been this bad. Everyone knows it. You guys are completely corrupt.”

Robertson says given this sort of feedback, he felt the need to say sorry.

“You know I’ve been hearing a lot on this campaign, on the campaign trail — a lot of feedback,” says Robertson. “We just heard an example of that. I want to be sure people understand that I’m committed to doing better.”

Given yesterday’s debate was the final one, Robertson felt the timing to apologize was right.
