With 21 candidates out of 37 who didn’t get elected yesterday for Vision Vancouver, there’s a lot of disappointment out there. But different candidates are handling that disappointment differently, as you can see from emails that went out from two of them today to their supporters.

Vision council candidate David Eby disappeared quickly last night, after the voting results from the day showed that had, for the moment, lost to Kashmir Dhaliwal by only 17 votes for the eighth and final spot on the slate.

That’s the latest, as official as I can get word. Council is decided but it’s very close for the other two. Since every candidate has a scrutineer in the counting room fighting over every ballot, now the word is another half hour to an hour. In the meantime, for those of you with nothing to […]

In spite of all the rumours and buzz going around, Ron Stipp claims that the counters are still counting all the regular ballots only. The dance floor isn’t as crowded as it was 20 minutes ago. I think some people are running out of energy. Maybe that should be the deciding factor — send all […]
