This page's mailbox and phone lines have been jammed over the past week as Vision Vancouver's City Council candidates have been urging me to vote for them at this Saturday's nomination meeting, plus the other candidates they support as running mates. The problem with 15 contenders running for 8 positions while sharing mailing lists is that one eventually tells campaign callers that their candidate will get my vote if they hang up in the next five seconds.
That being said, here are the eight candidates this page will be voting for:
George Chow: came to see the light on InSite.
Heather Deal: strong incumbent who hits the NPA hard.
Kashmir Dhaliwal: strong Labour background, and a South Asian voice on Council.
David Eby: proven fighter against homelessness with Pivot Legal Society.
Kerry Jang: understands mental illness in relation to poverty and homelessness.
Raymond Louie: proven leadership, and as good a choice for Mayor as Gregor Robertson.
Andrea Reimer: She quite the Green Party and I'm on her blogroll. 'Nuff said.
Rey Ulmas: HEU Activist, and voice for Vancouver's under-represented Fillipino community.
If I get around to it tomorrow, I'll dish out endorsements for Parks Board and School Board candidates, which of course, like the Council picks, carry the political weight that only anonymous blogs can provide...
