As you know, after more than 40 years in elected office, and almost 20 years as Member of Parliament for Vancouver East, Libby Davies will not be seeking re-election in October. \u00a0Vancouver East is unique riding and plays an important role in the national stage and\u00a0I am very honoured to be chosen as\u00a0\u00a0the NDP Vancouver East Candidate.<\/p>\n

East Van residents and all Canadians owe Libby a huge debt of gratitude.\u00a0Libby has worked relentlessly for our community and gave voice to thousands of people in our community over the last 40 years. \u00a0She has never feared controversy when lives were at stake, whether it be taking tough positions in supporting marginalized Canadians or taking up the cause of oppressed peoples around the world. There is no question that her dedicated service and hard work has touched the lives of many.<\/p>\n

To honour Libby\u00a0and help me become the next MP for Van East, we will be joined by Joy MacPhail, former Leader of the BC NDP and\u00a0Stephen Lewis, the former Ontario NDP leader, United Nations ambassador and life long human rights advocate\u00a0on this unforgettable evening.<\/p>\n

Please come and help me thank Libby for her remarkable 40 years of service and help elect Tom Mulcair as the next Prime Minister of Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
