There are 202 candidates running for a spot on the capital region's 13 municipal councils. Add those hoping to become school trustees or CRD directors and the total rises to 264.

No, of course you can’t. That would be like trying to name all the stars in the sky.

To repeat: 264. Three more and Dr. Bonnie would have had to declare another epidemic. There were fewer people in your high school graduating class. The B.C. Lions draw smaller crowds. • An Angry Red-Faced Candidate who wants A) free homes for the homeless, B) free drugs for the drugless, C) the conversion of all golf courses into re-education camps for their bourgeois members, and D) a total ban on internal-combustion motors and gender-specific pronouns. This candidate will have no idea how big the municipal budget is.

• A Voice For Change who vows to bust apart the status quo at city hall. Asked for a solution to the housing crisis, this candidate will reply: “I’m going to shake things up!” Transportation policy? Ditto. This will also be the reply when asked about capital financing, development cost charges, camping in parks, the replacement of crumbling sewer lines, the location of weed stores and the price of dog licences. Beyond breaking the furniture, this candidate has no idea what to do.
