Buckets endorses ... (3)

Continuing my list of endorsements.

• Jim Prentice (CPC, Calgary Center)
• James Moore (CPC, Port Moody, BC)
• Gerald Keddy (CPC, South Shore, NS)

• Josée Verner (CPC, Louis-Saint-Laurent, Quebec)
• Anne McLellan (Lib., Edmonton Center)

Here I add:

• Olivia Chow (NDP, Trinity-Spadina)
• Andrew Lewis (Green, Saanich Islands, BC)

Olivia Chow probalby needs not much explanation. To it can be added that I don't much like the incumbant whom she would be unseating (Ianno: see here, e.g.).

Andrew Lewis is one of the few Greens that has a chance of winnig. It's a long-shot, admittedly, but he got 10,000 votes last time, and in a four-way split he's in striking distance.

(I am sticking with Ms. Verner for now, despite her views on ssm-marriage as pointed out in the comments of her thread; I am willing to hold my nose on this one occasionally. [Update: are we sure that Verner is in fact against ssm? Look at this article in the Interim out of Campaign Life: it describes her as anti-life and pro-ssm marriage.)

Take the Buckets Challenge. The rules: try to create a list of candidates whom you would like to see in parliament that is balanced amongst parties and contains only candidates who have a reasonable chance of winning. (Bonus marks for those who also provide gender balance!)
