Kennedy Stewart's Vancouver mayoral campaign is making no apologies for trying to remove unproven online claims he's funded by unions. This week, Stewart's campaign manager Neil Monckton contacted two people who tweeted that public sector unions were directly involved in his election efforts. Stewart's campaign later released a statement saying, "Monckton repeatedly attempted to contact Mr. Jagger to ask him to remove the factually incorrect information. Non-Partisan Association mayoral candidate Ken Sim says the controversy reveals intimidation tactics on the part of Stewart's campaign. Sim didn't comment on the veracity of Jagger's claims, but said he was disappointed by how Stewart's campaign treated him.
