Early Voting Anxeity: Vancouver - Fairview

bcelection-showdown.gif

Tomorrow starts 2009 Election early voting. The only question is who to vote for. Actually, not really much of a question for me, but why do the candidates in my riding have to dress exactly the same. It's creepy. And it's the 2nd time these bitches are going head-to-head. It's the doctor versus the account manager in a gloves off street fight. Lets get ready to rumble. (via Moar Internetz)

Last time, in the 2008 by-election, Jenn McGinn (at right) took home 46% while Margaret MacDiarmid (at left) followed up with 40%. Distant third was Green leader Jane Sterk (she's running elsewhere this time. Back in 2005 Gregor "Juice" Robertson got 46% FTW. And back in 2001 Gary Farrell-Collins won this one big time with 55% (he also won it in 1996). Before that the riding was NDP. So Vancouver-Fairview has a little history of being, well, all over the place. How a place votes for both Gregor Robertson and Gary Farrell-Collins is beyond me - pick a side you sickos. Ah, typical BC politics. Glorious isn't it? It's like student council with more money and worse outfits.

I'm sure MacDiarmid had me at supporting Brian Day and the Cambie Surgical Center. Being in the riding, I find it amusing the McGinn doesn't. Isn't it their job to support local business? Especially successful ones?
