The top, over the white, is the logo for Canada's National Observer and the headline, "Vancouver mayor plans to eliminate city's climate and sustainability department" by Marc Fawcett-Atkinson & Natasha Bulowski from Nov. 10. On the green is a quote from Vancouver City Councillor from the Vancouver Green Party, Pete Fry, saying, "It's 100 per cent ideologically motivated. What is incredibly frustrating about this is the lack of integrity or courage for them to come out and say what it is they're intending to do. They're trying to be sneaky with this, and it will blow up in their face."

ALT Text from screenshot of Vancouver Sun article: In an emailed statement Monday, Sim’s office said: “There have been no inappropriate or closed door meetings related to the departure of Paul Mochrie or hiring of Donny van Dyk whatsoever. Any suggestions otherwise are completely baseless.” “The complaint is based on second-hand rumours from what a resident heard in the media, not any sort of actual evidence,” said the statement, adding that Mochrie’s departure was a mutual decision between him and the mayor, and van Dyk’s hiring was “made by a vote of Council and followed all established procedures for the hiring of a new city manager.”
