Its not confirmed on the party web site as yet but according to a 24 Hours report the Vancouver-Kingsway Conservative Electoral District Association has selected a candidate to fill David Emerson's shoes.

When or if Stephen Harper signs the nomination papers, Salomon Rayek will officially represent the Conservatives in Vancouver-Kingsway. According to other sources the nomination was unanimous. That probably means he ran unopposed since no one else wanted to waste their money or effort running as a Conservative in this riding now that Emerson has poisoned the air here. This was Rayek's second shot at obtaining a candidacy this year. Earlier he made an unsuccessful run for the candidate nomination in Burnaby Douglas.

One supposes Rayek is paying his dues now in Vancouver-Kingsway so he can later go after a winnable seat elsewhere.

Who is Rayek? For one, the self-described small business owner is not a resident of Vancouver-Kingsway, nor of Vancouver, nor even of Burnaby. He's a Richmond resident and as of August remained the president of the Delta Richmond East riding association. Rayek is also named as the president of the Jewish Advocacy for the Conservative Party (JACP).

Update: This evening Mr. Rayek shows as the candidate on the CPC website, albeit with his name spelled incorrectly.
