As some of our astute readers will already know, Conservative Council founder and chair Rick Peterson is running for the Tory nomination in Vancouver Quadra. But it looks like he may have some competition. In an interview with Public Eye, University of British Columbia Sauder School of Business law division lecturer Deborah Meredith confirmed she's "seriously thinking" about lacing up for that race - although she hasn't yet filed her nomination papers. Explained Ms. Meredith, "I'm pretty keen on the Conservative government. And I'd like them to have a majority. And the other thing is it would be nice to have some good representation of Vancouver in Ottawa." Vancouver Quadra is presently held by Liberal MP Stephen Owen.

If there is to be a race for the nomination, don't think it'll amount to much. Peterson has been knocking on doors for months, and has already signed up hundreds of new members.
The Party is delaying nominations until at least the end of January to allow the recruitment of "star" candidates chosen by Ottawa's Doug Finley. All others need not apply.
Surely David Emerson is thinking of running in this seat next time, not Kingway.

Sorry Budd,that would probably be no.
He can also choose one other option you haven't
thought of.
