Liberals by a hugh margin - Colin Hansen had one of the highest winning vote totals last time and might even do better this time - how this riding cannot be shown as Liberal is beyond me |

Valerie Jerome got almost 3% of the votes running against Hansen in '96 for the Greens, their 8th-best showing province-wide, and well above many other ridings. While she was well-known in the riding, and the mother of ousted party leader Stuart Parker, I still think the Greens will do much better this time. Hansen beat the NDP candidate 69 to 22% in '96, and knowing that the NDP doesn't even have a chance of making Hansen stay up late on election night, many people will choose the Greens over the NDP. The real race is for second place, and the Greens could win that. |

Just read today that the NDP candidate here is a 19 year old pizza boy who'll be in Cuba for most of the campaign. Liberals win by at least 65% here. |

Within hours of the election being called my neighbourhood had dozens of Liberal lawn signs - as did the riding just down the block (Vancouver-Point Grey). I've now seen the odd NDP sign, but the Liberals appear to be taking nothing for granted this time around. I don't remember seeing any door-to-door campaigning in '96, but this time around I've noticed several Liberal canvassers. The NDP has pretty much abandoned this riding, for their pizza boy could never have been nominated otherwise. I will give it to him that he's realistic about the situation and isn't a starry-eyed ideologue, but instead just a guy trying to get the message out despite the odds. I'm sure other candidates would love to be spending their campaign on a tropical island. |
