I'd also like to draw a little attention to Vancouver Reddit's favourite candidate Rohana Rezel, currently in 56th place for Vancouver City Council (which looks likely to end up w/ 5 NPA / 3 Green / 1 COPE / 1 OneCity) He was pretty noisy on twitter, too -- but he's far from the only "big on social media" candidate in this election to get precious few votes (5-6k, but it took 40k to get elected).

Lisa Helps cruised to re-election tonight and the council actually seems to have moved farther left, somehow. The whole city's going to be bike lanes by 2022. Saanich has a new mayor as well so everyone in greater Victoria is looking forward to what goofy bullshit he gets up to. edit: they're literally adding one poll at a time to the Vancouver count, media/campaign people at the HQs must be losing it.

Lisa Helps got re-elected in Victoria and the three person progressive slate (none of them incumbents) all got elected to council. None of the lovely NewCouncil people got elected. Today is a good day. Edit: ^ what he said

Well, gently caress. Saanich elected Frank Haynes as mayor. This is a guy who when I group of people I know met with him, he addressed the group as gentlemen and proceeded to shake the hands of all the men, then ignored the women for the duration of the meeting. It apparently went badly enough that the men apologized profusely after the meeting. I'm not even sure what his politics are. I remember reading his platform where he took credit for things other people had done, plus the usual empty platitudes. Good thing municipal politics aren't important right..? Well, at least as a Canadian I'm accustomed to disappointment.

CLAM DOWN posted:It's over, Stewart won! So you've got 5 NPA (rightish) councillors, 3x Green (bit left-centrish), 1x OneCity (effectively Green), 1x COPE (hard left), and a mayor with an NDP background who is impossible to pin down on pretty much anything. Wonder if he'll be held hostage by COPE or if they'll work things out reasonably well. I've talked to Kennedy Stewart on probably 5-6 occasions and quite dislike my taste of him, but he was always in campaigning / "I am a politician at some event" mode, so who knows what he's actually like to work with. In Vancouver & Burnaby both, the unions went *hard* for the candidates who won, providing a funny end-run around BC's very new campaign financing laws. (Almost as funny as the real estate developer who did a billboard campaign for an also-ran candidate for Vancouver mayor and pulled the billboards down on the last day that would be legal).

The unfortunate thing about Hector's performance is that we won't know if he did so poorlyd was because Vancouverites thought his YIMBY ideas were trash or because he was a deeply problematic BC Liberal.

leftist heap posted:lol Vibrant Victoria (a forum of middle aged white cranks) is freaking out over the municipal election. Nothing is ever getting built in Victoria ever again I've been non-stop harvesting tears from Vibrant Victoria tonight. Vote was rigged!! Lisa knew the results before they were officially posted! LOCK HER UP Victoria voters were tricked by secret marxists! If only the electorate knew they were all extreme-left! Yes almost everyone elected are pretty much textbook YIMBY's but this is going to kill development in the city because socialism. Lisa Helps has a political ideology and cares about winning the election, she's basically Trump! No, she's worse than Trump! I"M MOVING TO LANGFORD! Renters don't understand that their rents pay for their landlords property taxes! When the socialists raise taxes landlords will just raise the rents, you can't pay for affordable housing with taxes, idiot socialists. VOTE SPLITTING! Lisa Helps personally hired every single person other than Hammond to run against her to split the vote so she could win, this should be illegal. Communists have come to power, communists hate elections, this may be the end of democracy in Victoria. We need to amalgamate with the suburbs to bring in sensible voters!!

Pinterest Mom posted:What a nightmare of a city council. Maybe next time progressives won't run 14 candidates for 10 seats. A lot of Vancouver's progressive parties shortened their slates and worked with the Vancouver District Labour Council to ensure cooperation. The Greens, which broke the agreement in order to run more candidates, ended up being right in the end in that they must have sensed this was going to be a Vision wipeout election and they'd benefit by having more candidates. I think I heard somewhere that a good way to look at slate results is that if your number elected is slate size minus one, you picked your slate size well. If you exactly match your slate size then you might have been able to do better. Early in the campaign the Georgia Straight reviewed everyone's slates. https://www.straight.com/news/1112521/some-civic-parties-repeat-most-common-mistake-vancouver-politics The dominant thing that happened here was a total Vision wipeout. Vision somehow managed to convince its partners at VDLC that it was still a force, but it didn't materialize. They lost their Mayor candidate and one councillor to scandal, and even their best and most prominent council candidate Tanya Paz was way down the result list.

M Kennedy Stewart green green green one cope npa npa npa npa npa The council result counting the mayor chair is still a slim majority of votes for the "progressives" though there has been so much criticism heaped on Adrienne Carr for not really actually voting in a progressive way on many issues. The explanation for this that I've heard from Green party members like Pete Fry when this comes up is that under the old council she knew that Vision's majority would push things through any way, so she'd often vote no to draw attention to some flaw of the process. It'll be real interesting to see what happens when the first contentious housing meeting comes up. The old council Carr would often vote No but this time around her vote could actually be the one that ensures something does or doesn't get built. The other potential balance of power person is of course Jean Swanson on COPE, who is militantly against market housing and the sort of deals that Vision did in the past where they'd give some density concession to a developer in exchange for just handful of non-market units . Should be fun to see her interactions on council.

The Mayoral candidate who's written description on the Vancouver voting guide was a stream of conciousness crazy rant did almost twice as well as Golok K Buday, another finge mayoral candidate that was weirdly invited to a few Mayoral debates. I guess the debates don't help get get votes from the sort of people that are willing to consider these candidates.
