Michael Sather and his NDP family secrets

Current Position: Running for re-election as MLA in Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows

Past Positions: Sather recently ran to become Mayor for Maple Ridge where he finished a distant third. He was an assistant to NDP MLA Bill Hartley during the 1990s and has also worked for NDP Members of Parliament.

Family Connections: Sather has had trouble getting along with his political family. In 2007, he took a principled position that angered his boss and was suspended from caucus.

Family Secrets: In 2008, Sather ran for Mayor in Maple Ridge, promising that if he won, he would resign as MLA. He didn’t win, and now decided to run for MLA again and support such progressive policies as getting rid of the carbon tax.

  1. Hey Phil, sorry to hear that your liquor stores can't compete with the government facilities.
    Whats wrong, they paying too much in hydro costs?
    thank god our hydro rates have increased since the liberals got into government.
    Gordo has to give the private liquor stores a 16% discount vs the government stores.
    Why are we giving them a discount-if they can't compete let them go out of business.

    I guess the owners can't make enough profits?
    They have to use the excuse that the cost of a 6 pack will go up 25%.
    Face it, ICBA and the liberals are a joke.
    oh and April 1st the price of liquor went up-not a peep from anyone
