Davies And Eby
September 22, 2008, Matthew Good One of Libby Davies‘ people contacted me today, so I’m going to hopefully have her over for some tea and talk some politics with her. As most of you know, I don’t back any one party, so the fact that Libby is a member of the NDP is inconsequential to me. I back Libby, that’s all that need be said.
For those of you that have been following David Eby’s quest for local office, he lost by only 17 votes this weekend. From what I understand there is a recount taking place tonight, so we’ll see what happens. David is a contributing author here on the site and I’m extremely proud of the dedication and diligence that he displayed throughout his campaign. Due to a lot of scheduling conflicts I wasn’t able to get out and help David with his campaign, something that I truly regret if it could have helped secure him 20 more votes.

Backing the best candidate regardless of what party they represent, now that’s something I wish people in this part of BC could grasp.
Yes, I’ve been supporting David’s campaign, was there when the results were announced. Very disappointing. According to his blog, there was a recount to start today at about 6 pm and lasting about 4 hours, so hopefully we’ll get results soon.
After much deliberation and consideration on which party I’ll be voting for, I’ve decided to follow your example and suggestion and vote for the local MLA who I prefer.
Hopefully, this is just a minor speed bump on David’s journey to accomplish fantastic things. He truly is a voice of the people from what I have learned about him….and we can always do with more of that.
Head held high David…..
According to the Vision website, David didn’t win the recount. That said, there are still so many ways that a man of such compassion and talent can contribute to the well-being of the city.
