      John Turner won in Point Grey because the majority of folks there could relate to him, trust him and liked him. He was seen as a very accomplished Statesman and was a Former Federal Cabinet Minister

      David Eby might win in a East Side riding or near Main Street.

      He will not be seen as a Person of Substance or a Credible representative of the Majority of the Folks who live in Point Grey.

      This is a riding the NDP could win with a good candidate, however the Moonbeam Caucus in the NDP believe, the Goofier you look and behave, the better your chances.

      NOT IN POINT GREY

      There are few things to respond to in the above comment, but one begs for editorial fiat. Can someone please send the overworked Mayor Roberston -and- cohort-dismissive-moniker-phrase, "moonbeam" to the rotting pumpkin pile where it now properly belongs. It does not subsitute for either reasoned contribution to important discussion, nor is the reference funny anymore, if it ever was.

      500 votes!! That statistic is a very telling regarding the changing political spectrum in one of Canada's richest area codes.
