COPE shut out in Vancouver election

COPE is holding a "victory party" at its campaign HQ tonight, but there's really not much to celebrate.

Mayoral candidate Meena Wong placed third, far behind Vision winner Gregor Robertson and NPA runner-up Kirk LaPointe.

None of COPE's candidates for council, school board, and park board were elected.

With 108 of 129 polls in, Lisa Barrett was the top COPEster in the council race, in 20th place (27,670 votes).

Former parks chair Anita Romaniuk led COPE candidates in the park board race, in 15th place (26,414 votes).

Meanwhile, school trustee candidate Diana Day had more votes than any other COPE candidate (30,620 votes) and was in 16th place in her race.
