Canadian news websites
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CityCaucus.com was a well-known[3] online multi-author blog focused on coverage of Vancouver municipal civic affairs.[4][5][6] It was co-founded by Daniel Fontaine, the former chief of staff of Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan,[7] and Mike Klassen, the former vice chair of the Vancouver City Planning Commission.[3][4][8] During the Vancouver 2010 Olympics the blog offered a popular free-event guide.[9] The blog was called partisan by some while being acknowledged for its investigative reporting,[10][11] and being at the front of political conversation in Vancouver.[12] The blog broke the 2010 story on Vancouver city staff being unhappy and having fears of aggressive agenda implementation by the ruling Vision Vancouver party.[8][13][14] The Vancouver municipal government made an unprecedented decision to respond to the blog's criticism of a trade mission to China in September 2010.[8]
