Guest: Michael Geller

Michael Geller thinks you should vote yes in the Vancouver transit referendum.

He says he finds it astounding how the debate has become focused on all the wrong things. He says all people want to do is focus on is how much the CEO makes and should he be fired when, according to Geller, the real issue is whether we need improved transit and how we are going to pay for it.

Geller also believes that "no" does not equal "status quo"; rather, it will be a slide into greater congestion and a further reduction in service. He says if the "no" side wins, no one will come to rescue the system.
