Out of season

North Vancouver lawyer Jay Straith said today might run for the federal Liberal nomination in that riding. But only if the election isn't held in the fall. Speaking with Public Eye, Mr. Straith said, "If it's a fall election it just isn't going to work. I don't know if (Don Bell) is going to run again or not. But logic would have it that if the election is roughly within a year of the last election, I think the previous MP might be better placed to have a shot at it. But when you get outside of that window - maybe not so much. That's basically what it comes down to." North Vancouver is presently represented by Conservative parliamentarian Andrew Saxton.
