Among the Heathers

Last month, Vision Vancouver mayoral hopeful Gregor Robertson resigned his seat in the provincial legislature. Rick Peterson is already running
for the provincial Liberal nomination in that riding. But who will be New Democrat candidate in Vancouver-Fairview when the by-election is called? Could it be former Kwantlen University College philosophy instructor and former Vision Vancouver executive member Heather Harrison? Well, in an interview with Public Eye, "My understanding is there's lots and lots of women interested in running. So I don't feel compelled to do so. I'm thinking about it. But I'm also very, very excited about the Vision Vancouver team that's coming together. And I think it looks like we've got a very good chance of taking city hall. So I'm still thinking about my options" - a reference to earlier suggestions she run to join Vision Vancouver's city council slate.
