I'd say good riddance to a bunch of the defeated people, but chances are they'll be back again next time around with their same old bullshit.

    Between this and the provincial election next week I'm very worried it will just be out of the frying pan and into the fryer.

    Goes to show the value of progressive strategic collaboration and voting. Which means shutting out pro-inequality centrists and working together with real progressives.

    The last line is unfortunate, though:

    Vancouver appears to be one of the few outliers in tonight’s B.C. civic elections, with voters in many other major and notable jurisdictions shifting away from left-wing/progressive candidates in favour of centrist, centre-right, and right-wing contenders.

    Signs are not looking good for the provincial election. Not that I think the BCNDP earned Surrey's vote for another term, but Doug McCallum's municipal win there makes me think the Metro Vancouver Green vote will propel the Conservatives to power in those Fraser Valley races that were very competitive last time.
