FFS.
I dunno. I think Raymond Louie or Don Davies would be okay mayors.

Maybe we should be enticing some suitable candidates from Vancouver to come to Victoria and run for Mayor.
With the amount of money the COV spends on frills, we could buy the candidate a nice home in James Bay to sweeten the deal.

There's a strong rumour that OneCity, not COPE, might be courting Libby Davies. I could see it. COPE looks like it's pretty much dead at this point and it appears that a lot of left-wingers in Vancouver are rallying around the OneCity banner – perhaps that is the replacement slate to Vision?
Michael Lee has a great shot at winning the BCL leadership and he could win. If he doesn't — I suspect Rich Coleman might pull something shady (shocking!) so de Jong can win — he would have earned the cachet to be a serious contender for the NPA's mayoral candidacy. But keep in mind he's a rookie MLA who just got elected less than a year ago, it would be risky and not look good to quit so early just to run for mayor.
Agree that Raymond Louie would be a great mayor, however the Vision brand is tainted and I doubt Louie would want to be left carrying the bag after Gregor and his ilk poked so many holes in it.
Also, hell no to Kerry Jang, we might as well just have Gregor for another 10 years.

OneCity at this point is just to disorganised to run a serious mayoral campaign, I think that running either Libby Davies (ugh) or Raymond Louie as a sort of 'Unity' candidate with the Greens, COPE (Although they don't play nice with everyone else), and possibly Vision would make a lot more sense. OneCity should give it their all to elect Judy Graves or Rj Aquino (Or both) to council to have a foothold before they go running a serious mayoral campaign.
