As Mr. Mackin points out, Vancouver’s mainstream mayoral candidates lack a solid Twitter presence. Which is unfortunate because Twitter gaffes are a sure-fire way to inject entertainment into any dull political landscape; you need look no further than the Anthony Weiner scandal to see evidence of that.

Anyway, here are the aforementioned November Tweets which exclude retweets and off-topic direct mentions.

To the NPA and Vision campaign staff we say: let go of the reins and allow these mayoral dawgs to bark!

If you’re looking for more active political Twitter users to follow (and in some cases polarizing), I suggest the NPA’s Mike Klassen, Vision campaign man Kevin Quinlan, independent city council candidate Sandy Garossino and NSV mayoral candidate Randy Helten.
