While I generally try to maintain a professional equanimity in any of my blogging and vlogging, it's been quite difficult during this last Vancouver municipal election campaign given the low level of tactics that the NPA, incumbent party Vision's main opposition, has resorted to in its bid to win votes. This is the party that has given us exemplary local councillors Peter Ladner and Gordon Price in the past, but the NPA campaign this time around didn't shed much light on the talents of their latest crop of candidates.

The polls are open for another 10 minutes or so as I write, so we'll soon know the shape of the next Vancouver municipal government.

Hopefully the crisp, but sunny Winter's day brought out more voters than the dire 31% of voters in 2008.

Here's Mayor Gregor Robertson arriving with his wife and two of his teenage children who are about to vote for the first time in a civic election.

Cycling is turning out to be one of the hot topics for next month's coming Vancouver municipal election, with NPA leader Suzanne Anton positioning herself in direct opposition to the Vision/COPE alliance on cycling policy.

V is for... Vision. Vancouver. Victory.

And a pretty resounding victory too. Gregor Robertson is new mayor of Vancouver notching up almost 40% more votes than NPA mayoral hopeful Peter Ladner. Vision Vancouver's slate of candidates were all elected bar Kashmir Dhaliwal. Suzanne Anton was the only NPA candidate for council to get elected.
