No Conservative in Vancouver-Kingsway?

According to the Conservative Party candidates page for British Columbia, there is not at this time an approved candidate for my riding, Vancouver-Kingsway.

Humour of the day: John Reynolds and David Emerson have both said the riding was eminently winnable due to vote splitting. If so, where's the stampede of candidates rushing forward? No news from the EDA. Speaking of such, I predict the Vancouver-Kingsway Electoral District Association will be a shadow of its current self within a year or so as it has now lost its only drawing card, the duplicitous David Emerson.

Election 2008 - Party Web Sites

In the meantime, here are a few snapshots of what's on-line in the wee hours of Sunday September 7, before Harper visits the Governor General, sorted alphabetically:
