So here's us, on the raggedy edge.

It’s contest to see who can be the most like the other. These two are spending some much time fighting over the middle of the road, everyone else is going to look like they’re driving on the shoulder.
Vancouver mayoral candidates return Millennium’s donations
Council’s $100-million loan to developer sparks controversies

CBC NewsBoth Vancouver mayoral candidates have rejected campaign contributions from Millennium Development Corp., the builder of the controversial Olympic Athletes Village for the 2010 Games.
Non-Partisan Association’s Peter Ladner: said Millennium delivered a $2,000 cheque to him last week.
“Somebody at city hall notified me that there was a cheque there for me from Millennium and I said send it back,” Ladner, who is currently a councillor, said Wednesday. “This is too sensitive right now for us to be accepting cheques from Millennium.”
Vision Vancouver’s Gregor Robertson said he received Millennium’s $1,000 donation cheque Wednesday.
“The timing of it is troubling given that decisions have been made and driven in secret by the NPA and campaign donations are arriving after the fact,” Robertson said. “I think we need to ask hard questions about where the dollars come from and why?”
