And so Ros and I are on our way home after an unexpectedly fabulous trip to Vancouver. We've been up a snow-covered mountain, crossed the water to an almost painfully cute island, drunk local beers and wine, eaten local seafood and met up with a sea otter.
Vancouver and its surrounds is an amazing place, set between the coastal range and the sea, with float planes in the harbour and rich woodland everywhere. The province is a Conservative-free zone - today's opinion poll here shows the Greens in third place with 13%, and Others with just 5%. That 5% includes the Conservatives...
In British Columbia, the contest is between the Liberals and the New Democratic Party, with most polls showing the Liberals with something like a 10% lead. Given that polling day is on Tuesday, it would take something fairly dramatic for the Liberals to lose power.
We're determined to come back before too long, and the guidebooks and internet can expect a good workout before very long...
