I need Caller ID

A few weeks ago, I received a phone call from Vision Vancouver, asking if I would continue to support them in civic elections on November 19. This page was somewhat taken aback, the caller assumed that I had followed Jim Green, Tim Stevenson, and Raymond Louie in tearing up my COPE membership. Unfortunately for the caller, I'm still one of the "militant radicals" (like Tim Louis, Fred Bass, or Ann Roberts) who Friends of Larry Campbell can't seem to work with, so I hung up on her.

Last week, I received another phone call, this time from COPE/Vision Vancouver: that's right COPE - SLASH - VISION. It appears that with Senator DaVinci out of the picture, both camps are learning to get along in keeping the NPA from rearing it's ugly right-wing head. Not only has COPE refrained from running a candidate for Mayor, Vision isn't running candidates for the School or Parks Boards. Both parties are fielding only five candidates each for Vancouver's 10 Council seats.

It's almost as if everyone was acting in some kind of a coalition....like a coalition of Progressive Electors...The caller went on to ask me if I wanted to make a donation, volunteer, or take a window sign. If I can find out exactly who I'd be supporting, I just might be interested.
