text: It seems that User:Demiurge has removed the content I had added about the criticism regarding dog breed by-laws. I don't feel so strongly about it either way (in or out) so I'm not going to re-add it but you certainly could do that if you wanted to. WP has a procedure called WP:BRD which supports people making bold change like Demiurge did, but if that change is reversed, then the next step is to come to the talk page for discussion. So you could reverse the removal and if Demiurge objects, proper etiquette would suggest he/she begin to discuss it here rather than continuing to revert and edit war. WP is based on reliable sources and community consensus (which can be time consuming as you can see). So its up to you.-- — Keithbob • Talk •  22:40, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

* CBC News Vancouver Late Night | Oct 1, 2013 | 3:37---RAW: Mayor defends pit bull stance--Derek Corrigan says pit bulls were bred to be fighting dogs  
* Twelve consecutive years won’t be enough for Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, who’s told the Burnaby NOW he fully intends to run again. The next civic election is due November 2014, and Corrigan said he hopes to make it his fifth consecutive term as city mayor.............  Recently, Corrigan was under fire for his and council’s decision to keep pit bulls muzzled in the city, despite 95 letter writers and all delegations that came forward supporting the opposite. “I never like to make people unhappy in the city, but I found that in politics, that sometimes to make an omelet  you’ve got to break a few eggs,” he added. Corrigan said he hopes voters consider the redevelopment of the Edmonds area as one of his strong suits. “I haven’t gotten to my best before date,” he noted. 
* Mayor Derek Corrigan said people pick and choose data to support their own opinion, and the good pit bull owners feel "put upon." "It's unfortunate this dog was bred by human beings in order to be a fighting dog, in order to be a dog that learned how to fight to kill and to sustain an attack," he said. "Unfortunately though, there are people out there who use this dog like a weapon. There are people out there who consider this dog is part of their macho image." He also noted that he did not want to remove the breed-specific legislation and then have a child get attacked by a pit bull because he would feel personally responsible.
* Burnaby mayor Derek Corrigan asserts Vancouver city hall is “dreaming in technicolour” with regard to the $2.8-billion proposal. He said he “cannot imagine” the rest of Metro Vancouver’s municipalities identifying the subway as a priority. “It’s just not on the radar at all in order to try and accomplish that,” Corrigan told the Straight by phone. “TransLink is in massive debt with huge operating deficits, and Vancouver continues to talk about spending more money on massive infrastructure.” 
* Even though he now has a digital smart meter installed at his South Burnaby home, four-term Burnaby mayor Derek Corrigan is no fan of the billion-dollar program. “I think it’s an absolute waste of money,” Corrigan told the Straight by phone. “It’s an expenditure on infrastructure that produces absolutely no benefit.” Corrigan said he has not felt any physical impacts since his meter was installed, insisting he’s been mad as hell about the cost.

*Following the Treaty signing, First Nations, environmentalists and public leaders are gathering for the West Coast Oil Pipeline Summit. The conference looks at the concept of transitioning from oil-generated energy to alternative forms of renewable energy production. The event was designed using speakers from various backgrounds and expertise in order to generate dialogue on a very complex issue. Speakers include Mayor Gregor Robertson of Vancouver, Mayor Derek Corrigan of Burnaby, 
*The building will be fitted to Terasen Gas' purposes beginning in January 2011. Recruiting and hiring of a local workforce with a strong customer focus will commence this fall and continue into 2011. "This is great news for Burnaby," said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan. "We are thrilled to welcome another Terasen Gas facility to our City and look forward to the many benefits their new office will bring to the community, including job opportunities."
