David Eby

Vision Vancouver this past Saturday selected it's council members, parks and school board nominees. I had the fortunate chance to cast my vote and take part in this change movement in Vancouver's municipal politics.

Once the votes were counted, I was utterly shocked that the man I supported and came out in crutches was not on the top 8: David Eby. He's a community organizer and a long time DTES advocate. I couldn't believe he lost. On the bright side he was just 17 votes shy of being selected - which is a monumental task in itself as Vision has 16,000 members.

Let's hope these results don't discourage him from running again, Vancouver needs this man to be in office.
