Sadly I don't have time to go to all-candidates meetings for local elections this time, because otherwise I could have seen a guy suing North Vancouver for $10 billion while running for mayor say "I built all of Chilliwack myself" while ending his pitch with "wake up, people".

Something most commentators outside Quebec don’t realize: 60% of Quebec Solidaire supporters are federalists. Something like 16% of the party’s supporters would vote yes. Just another factor that complicates matters beyond adding up seats. lp.ca/hlBjK6?shari...

The basic calculus of this week is that David Eby is in a very precarious position if the Milobar, Elliott, Brodie and Conservative Caucus factions can somewhat unite around on candidate. And Eby is looking at the last two years of B.C. politics as evidence it won’t happen.
