Round 2

No sooner than wrapping up the Federal election, people living in Metro Vancouver are heading back to the polls on November 15 for civic elections. And yesterday there were some areas of BC that headed to the polls to vote in Provincial by-elections. And this whole time many Canadians have had their eyes and ears glued to the US election. Myself included.

So a week ago I had to decide who I wanted to be Prime Minister. In three weeks time I have to decide who I want to be mayor of Vancouver. Actually I've made that decision: Peter Ladner. If Sam Sullivan was still NPA party leader I would have a difficult decision ahead of me. Many NPA supporters are not fond of Sullivan... doesn't that sound familiar.

Gregor Robinson has a lot of good points too, but voting for Vision Vancouver is much like me voting for the NDP... The area I really have to focus on is who is running for the Parks Board, School Board etc.

And when I'm done with that election, that isn't the end of it. British Columbians will be going back to the polls in May for provincial elections. Then I think it's time for a rest. But with another ($300,000,000) minority government in charge federally, I could be back to the polls sooner than I know or care to know... and this coming from someone who loves politics and election time...
