Leonard is running. I don't think he has too much to worry about.
Don't sell Cubberley short VHF. He was a popular councillor and MLA. He has the strong backing of the NDP types, as well as the cycling community. It could be a very interesting race. I can only hope there will be that kind of head-to-head contest in Victoria.

David Cubberley has the NDP to call on and they are moderately strong in Saanich.
Frank Leonard is the favorite at the moment, but I do not think he will have an easy time.

Phillipe Lucas has declared in Victoria.

Hmmm, I just thought Saanich voters are happy with Leonard. I guess we'll see.
Phillipe Lucas has declared in Victoria.
And that's the point VHF...it's not about the voters being happy...it's about how many voters are voting....and for who?
The average voter in Saanich is long term, complacent, and generally satisfied.
The red machine however, has different plans for me....my money....and my municipality.
Just watch.

1) It does not fit my life at the moment
2) I seem to have plateaued at about 75 people offering to help and something short of $15K commitment in donations - this is less than half of what I need
3) I have not found a campaign manager
4) There does not seem like there will be any organized slate, so the odds of winning against the incumbents is almost nil.

He has a decent chance of winning which means he would displace a sitting incumbent. Without slates, he is going to actually harm the left of centre/NDP members of council. He will pull votes from all of them which could mean either John Luton, Phillpe Lucas or Lynn Hunter are defeated. There is a chance it could be Chris Coleman that is defeated.

and who out of the candidates, if anyone, is for amalgamation?
None I would imagine. It might put them out of a job.

Such a shame. I imagine it would rope in a bunch of votes for that candidate that might not otherwise be there.

For one thing, it's a dead issue right now. At most, there's talk about regionalization of some services.
When the media says a sentence or two at most about a candidate's stand on issues, wasting it on a topic not many care about is a waste of precious publicity.

I'm looking for change. I don't know that Cubberley is it, though.

It would be foolish to make amalgamation a cornerstone of a candidate's campaign platform.

I honestly think any Victoria City candidate would win with this platform. Not the other munis.
