Yup.

It's his Gregorness, Mr. Robertson, for Mayor.

Pretty much a clean sweep on Council....only one who didn't make it is VV'er Dhaliwhal (Reimer in!).

Pretty much a clean sweep on Parks Board....only COPEatista Anita Romaniuk didn't make it (Blyth in! yay!; Zlotnik the Park Killer out!!!! yayer!!!!)

Schoolboard has a couple of RedRumpers: Gibson (by a whisker over good guy COPEster Bill Bargeman - really too, too bad) and Denike (ugggggghhhhh!), otherwise another clean sweep.

And those Capital issues....Well, despite the fact that our property taxes (ie. no 'Get Out Of Property Fund Free' card for us), Vancouverites voted overwhelmingly to spend money on infrastructure that everyone (ie. not just the Olympics and/or the million dollar Condo buyers) actually need.

Great night, all in all, if you have a single progressive bone in your body....

And as I said at the tail end of Live Flog #2..... Have to wonder if this means it is now safe for Estelle Lo to come back to work, especially if his Gregorness decides to call an 'In Camera' council meeting to discuss 'personnel' matters involving 'Judy! Judy! Judy!'
And while I said it already on the Live Flog, I'll say it again here.....Good on FABula for stopping the spin of Mess'rs Fontaine and Tieleman dead on the not-soGiant98, because Mr. Macomb sure as heckfire wasn't going to do it.
Hi eteba!
