A long way from the "Barbarians"

Recent Prime Ministers have always had their favourite city mayors - Paul Martin seemed to find a friendly face for announcements with Toronto’s David Miller…
With the star of Sam Sullivan quickly rising to international heights, Harper would be wise to form a strong partnership with the new Vancouver Mayor. The linkages between Harper’s B.C. organizers and Sullivan’s are plentiful (e.g. Colin Metcalfe, who is on the hottest political streak in Western Canada, having successively and successfully managed the Know Wards campaign, the Sam Sullivan mayoral campaign, as well as the B.C. communications of the most recent federal Conservative campaign), the political ideologies are very complementary, and Harper still needs to make inroads into the City of Vancouver.

What a refreshing change from, now Senator blowhard! Although Vancouver city is about as moderate as Stalin, it's good to see Sullivan take center on so many stages. With the Olympics comming, the economy and trade, BC is definately going to be the place to watch.
