Ian and Matthew are up bright and early to celebrate covering our third municipal election!
We power through Vancouver and its environs, sharing some thoughts on (almost) every municipality&#8217;s race and who we&#8217;d support if we had to. Some are enthusiastic, others are extremely begrudging. Just make sure to vote today!
