We mourn with everyone who lost friends and loved ones at the recent Lapu Lapu tragedy. In the coming months, we'll be sure to follow the ongoing political fallout of the failures that led to this event. In the meantime, support the Kapwa Strong fundraiser.Looking back at the byelection, it should probably have been quite clear what was going to happen but few (besides Peter Meiszner) would have predicted Vancouver's elections to be run so poorly.
