Once the absentee ballots are in, the results will be about the same as usual in NVan Lonsdale. Craig will get a few hundred more then when he ran 8 years ago and Naomi will get about she did last time.
Since this a blog about City Council politics, I have to point out what this changes on Council. A long time ago two NDP member met and decided how to divide up their upcoming conquest of the City of North Van. They would both run for Council with Mussatto looking at the Mayor's Chair and Keating becoming the MLA. Darryl won on his first try and Craig has lost twice now, I doubt he will be given a third chance.
Does he bother again? Does Darryl step down as the rumour is? Does Craig run for Mayor in Nov 2014 and Darryl run for the Liberals federally, stepping down prior as Craig has shown that running intending not to finish a Council term is a recipe to lose?
Do all the people who endorsed Craig hoping they would run in a byelection now all run in 2014? Amanda Nichol, Scott McMyn, Evonne Stronwald and Tyler Russell. As many NDP members as seats counting Linda and Cheryl.
Congradulations Naomi the best and nicest person one for a change.
ReplyDeleteCouncilor Craig Keating uses the top floor of the new NVSD44 Taj Mahal for is not be victory party .
Is this pay back for supporting John Lewis rezoning and selling of public lands ?
Keating's Secret Slate (SS) crew have supportthe selling off of school lands in a growing community..
The matter of NVSD44 letting or renting out this space to a political friend should be looked in to. Also from now on the SS crew shoud lnot be voting on rezoning of NVSD44 lands since there seems to be a connection possibly ?
I guess Keating is seeing GREEN today ...
ReplyDeleteAmanda Nichols never endorsed Keating.. She has a lot more class than that..
ReplyDeleteSure Amanda. Class like telling Voices you were not intending to run again so you could get on their Executive while preparing to run in a by-election? Class like running in Mussatto's union slate while denying it publicly?
