Trust in government is at an all-time low. Trust in media is at a historically low level. Digital trust is under assault. This is why Patrick Cormier's endorsement means so much. Innovating in the area of digital identity is the antidote for much of what is ailing our democracy.

Don McBrearty and I worked together when I was Secretary-Treasurer of the Directors Guild of Canada - National. During our shared tenure we established a retirement savings plan for the membership and other key organizational improvements. His endorsement is much appreciated.

Legendary former City of Vancouver Director of Planning, Ray Spaxman, has endorsed my candidacy for City Council. While his leadership of the planning department ended in 1989, his thoughtful legacy and staff choices led the department into the millennium.

When I was working toward establishing an independent Auditor General for the City of Vancouver, the Canadian Audit & Accountability Foundation helped guide me through the process. At the time, Carol Bellringer, FCPA, ICD.D was the President and CEO. Her endorsement is enormously appreciated.

Thanks for the endorsement Mark Angus. Blue and I have known each other since we worked on "April Fool's Day" back in 1985. Our association has ranged from the film and television industry to Vancouver politics over decades.

Very much appreciate the endorsement of Brian Palmquist, who has been actively involved in shaping the City of Vancouver since he was the Managing Architect of the $2 billion Concord Pacific Place (Expo 86 Lands) Community Plan 1986-1988.
