BC's Spring Vote, *jammed awkwardly* Through Lens of Obama's Victory. I think the comparison is more apt on a civic level. Here you have a man on one side trying to distance himself from the ego and failed policies of an outgoing leader despite consistently voting for those policies; while a youthful but municipally inexperienced candidate running under the sleek Vision logo promises change.

We even have our own bailout.

B.C. leaders praise Obama, but await policy details. You guys are still gonna buy our oil, right? Right?

Change Everything asks, "do you think Obama will be able to significantly change America"?

Its all Happening.

Follow live on The Hook, or not. Man, I have to work tonight. Hopefully Obama takes Indiana and Virginia right off the bat. Or you could always watch it LIVE in a room full of beautiful young people in Chinatown.

Obamamania grips Vancouver.

Although not all of Vancouver is on board because apparently we have our share of paranoid, neoconservative, fundamentalists espousing so called Family Values, wallowing in their own cryptic semiotics and white, anglo-saxon, protestant superstitions right here in our fair city. Hooray for diversity!

Free rides on transit are costing taxpayers. Unless, of course, they're riding transit for free.

Speaking of, Gregor Robertson: he's the people's candidate.

$1.6 billion project planned for Surrey, once the financial situation changes. So... never? I think I'll be investing in some urban wakeboard stock instead.

Can't really be cynical about this one: the Davie Village Community Garden.

Housing the homeless? Ladner vs. Eby.

RCMP officers, school board chairmen, zamboni drivers: GROW UP and... lead the province?

COPE and Cadman pander to the hipster demographic? Likely the funniest civic election ad you'll see for awhile. Beards > Tapdancing, George W. Bush Limericks.

NDP wins byelections in 2 Vancouver ridings.

Immigrants ruin Halloween. Not fair! I want more candy.

Society should eradicate certain behaviour rather than condone it. Same-sex relationships, unwed mothers, racially mixed marriages, and homeless people in tents.

Homeless plan to pitch tents in Vancouver. "It is absolutely unfair that homeless people should be allowed to camp out in tents. If that is the case, then everyone should be able to do the same. Why should lazy people who don't bother to work like the rest of us to earn a living be given special rights, compared to us regular tax-paying folks?" Um, I think you are allowed to camp out in tents. ITS CALLED CAMPING.

Views in peril. Its absolutely unfair that people with more money get to have a better view than me.

Open up investment suites for rentals. Unfair times infinity.

Provincial by-elections Wednesday in two Vancouver ridings today. Go Spencer. PS thanks for losing that ridiculous hat.

New age, faux-ernest, gen-x city endorsed by new age, faux-ernest, gen-x singer.

In defence of Dick Pound. Yeah I mean its not like we're failing aboriginals in every way or anything.

Mom horrified at $1 pen shaped like hypo needle. Oh man, I know what I'm giving out this Halloween!
