Greens do well in Vancouver

Yahoo News, CA  The Green party is celebrating what it called an historic win in Vancouver’s civic election, a vote that saw the largest Green caucus ever elected assert its place on council and the city’s park and school boards.

Four of the party's seven candidates were given the nod from voters on Saturday in an election with the highest turnout in more than a decade.

"This is a huge win for the Greens," said former Green party leader and re-elected Vancouver city councillor Adriane Carr.

"In fact, by electing four Greens to the three governance bodies in Vancouver, we have just elected — Vancouverites have just elected — the largest Green caucus in Canadian history."
