Joel Schat, a local timelapse photographer, recently made this amazing video of downtown Vancouver that I had to share:

I’ve been diving into the provincial election this week and the two main candidates in the riding of Vancouver-False Creek have really caught my eye. One is a former welfare recipient who lived in social housing, defeated Christy Clark for the NPA mayoral nod in 2005 and is running on his track record of harm reduction programs, ecodiversity and social activism. The other is the head of a burgeoning local digital media company and a former economist for the Bank of Canada that is campaigning to introduce incentives designed to lure the digital media sector back to Vancouver. Thing is, they don’t belong to the parties you’d think.
