Look Who's Seeking NDP Nomination in Vancouver Centre....

[Bob Terwilliger]

Sam Sullivan has lost the nomination of his party (The Non Partisan Association, pragmatic conservatives) to NPA Councilor Peter Ladner, and will not be the NPA candidate in the next mayoral election.  The COPE (The Council of Progressive Electors, foaming at the mouth communists who eat live babies) candidate is Gregor Robertson, a former NDP MLA. He is going to win, not because I want him to, it's because he runs a natural fruit juice company, and Vancouverites love a guy who runs a natural fruit juice company.

Thanks for your replies to my inquiry.

Whatever happened to the moderate left Vision Vancouver ("New COPE") founded by former mayor Larry Campbell?  I thought Mr. Roberston was going to run for them?

It appears Mr. Byers and the NDP came 3rd in Vancouver Center.
