For those following this story closely — and many are, feeling that it’s a turning point in the city’s sense of safety as well as a huge personal tragedy — Councillor Suzanne Anton plans to make a brief statement honouring Wendy and her contribution to the city at council today at 2. That should be on Shaw Cable.
As well, RCMP are organizing a news conference for 3 p.m. today, saying they have a “significant development” to announce.

The press conference was a non-event, with respect to it being “significant” (police quote) enough to provide the Dunbar neighbourhood comfort or relief: This may NOT be a random killing and no one has been ruled out as a suspect for now….
VERY disconcerting and troubling to say the least.
And after listening to Suzanne’s comments today and yesterday, I am pleased that she has finally realized the monumental body of charity and public service that the Ladner family have committed themselves to, over the course of their lives. Reviewed, even piecemeal, it’s an incredibly impressive body of work.
Wendy’s stellar accomplishments notwithstanding, Suzanne’s reference to Peter’s accomplishments was also noted.
Too bad she couldn’t have brought herself to do that during the campaign, when it would have been honest and courageous, as opposed to now when it’s obligatory.

AGT. - how about a little respect for the victim. Somehow I doubt that she would want your personal issue with Suzanne A. being mixed up with her tragic death.
Let’s remember the good and leave the personal fewds to some other venue.

jaymac:
This story, as outlined by the owner of this blog, is about Suzanne’s statement and “developments”, which I was there to personally hear.
There is another posting below where many have appropriately memorialized an amazing woman.
No feud with Suzanne: I think she is entirely capable, but disingenuous.
Don’t even start with me. I remembered the good in a previous post and was quite open about Darcy Magee’s insensitivity, but that post somehow got lost. I’ve received almost a dozen emails from people far closer to Peter than I, who felt my comments on this issue were/are not only appropriate, but spot on. Spare me.
Don’t make the mistake others do and think that Frances’ blog represents a majority of anything.
She posts, we respond or add.
