Vancouver Election 2018 Primer

vote

Vancouver is about to enter one of the most interesting and uncertain elections in recent history. The mayor and most of the current councillors are not running for re-election, a number of new parties with similar sounding names have formed, and new campaign finance rules are limiting the influence of big moneyed donors like developers.

Here is my collection of resources to help you figure out who to vote for.

  1. You sure like to use the word “bunch”. New parties do not come in bunches, grapes come in bunches, There may be a “number” of new parties, but not a bunch of them. Unless you think what I’m writing is a “bunch of baloney”. LOL.
