A vote splitting fight has been averted and COPE is now backing Vision candidate Gregor Robertson for Mayor in the upcoming Vancouver race.  This is very good news for Robertson and a set back for rival Peter Ladner.

“It is crucial that we work together to return progressive government to city hall, park and school board,” COPE Councilor David Cadman said in a prepared statement. “We want to work with Gregor Robertson and Vision to cooperate around areas of common concern. With this agreement we can avoid splitting the progressive vote and create a better Vancouver.”
