No news interview, profile or debate report about this campaign was found. The Tyee, Daily Hive, CityHallWatch and Vancouver is Awesome searches returned nothing beyond the ballot list. The party page gives no years for the lululemon, HSBC Canada, government or startup roles, and names neither clean technology startup. The figure of close to $2 million in funding secured comes only from the party page and was not confirmed anywhere else. The Plastic Oceans Canada board listing was read on a third party site that copies the organisation's own text, and it shows no date, so the years of that board role are unknown. VoteMate records that Strilesky had not submitted policy answers, so there is no questionnaire record of positions on school closures, budgets or staffing. No record was found of Strilesky standing in an earlier Vancouver election. Attendance at any candidate forum is unconfirmed. Note also that a general web search quota was exhausted during this research, so the search was run through a smaller index and through direct site searches.
