Photos: Politicians swarm Chinese New Year Parade in Vancouver
If you attended the 2014 Chinese New Year Parade in Vancouver, chances are good you received a red envelope or two (without any lucky money though) from a politician you'd never heard of.
The annual parade attracts a herd of politicians hoping to keep their names and faces in the minds of voters, especially in a year featuring civic elections and a B.C. NDP leadership race.
Here's my photos of some of the politicians (and a few others) who hit the streets of Chinatown today (February 2), ostensibly to celebrate the Year of the Horse.
If you like a challenge, see how many pictured politicians you can name before looking at the photo cutlines.
Sure, Tom Mulcair, Jason Kenney, James Moore, Christy Clark, Adrian Dix, and Gregor Robertson are easy to identify, but you might have trouble with a few park commissioners and suburban MLAs.
B.C. Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton.
B.C. Premier Christy Clark.
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair and wife Catherine Pinhas.
Minister of Employment and Social Development Jason Kenney.
Minister of Industry James Moore.

....and all the rest of the fools at the party. Here's To All The Dancing Fools! Wheeeeeee

These people are sellouts to the canadian people and job economy, they are just present to win rich criminal chinese votes and gain more lobbyists; which means more money for them. This is one of the sickest things i've ever seen. Is everyone psycho but me?
