John Kurucz: Q &A with Yvonne Hanson, NDP candidate for Vancouver-Granville. Interview done around 4:30 p.m. today.
Q: You were pounding the pavement door knocking today. What did you hear on the door step?
Right now we have a lot of people who are still considering voting Liberal and they鈥檙e feeling really bad about it because they feel like they have to vote strategically. They don鈥檛 actually want to vote Liberal, but they鈥檙e feeling coerced by the fear of having a Conservative government.
Q. How do you explain Jagmeet Singh鈥檚 popularity?
I think the leaders鈥� debate really had a huge impact on people鈥檚 perception of him. People didn鈥檛 really know him before, so they didn鈥檛 really have high expectations. He was making the rounds but still people didn鈥檛 know he was or what he was about. He really proved himself and proved he鈥檚 a man of the people. He comes across as extremely genuine both on TV and when I met him in person. I absolutely believe that he is fighting for what he says he鈥檚 fighting for.
Q: You鈥檙e unemployed as of today. What are your employment plans as of tomorrow?
I鈥檓 going to be in Ottawa.
Q: Finish this sentence: I will be the MP for Vancouver-Granville if鈥�
There are enough people inspired by Jagmeet Singh and enough people are inspired by the idea of having somebody coming in from the climate activist movement, somebody who does work retail, who does rent and who is there to represent regular people and is there to stand behind them. If people feel like they鈥檙e ready to have a representative that is of that stripe, then I鈥檓 going to be the next MP.
8:06 p.m.
John Kurucz at Don Davies headquarters: 鈥淔ormer school board trustee Carrie Bercic here. With NDP button on. Majority of crowd here is under 35-40. Band: Doctor Hook?

Reporter thought she'd check out the action at Vancouver-South Conservative candidate Wai Young's election party on Victoria Drive. Turns out she's was a little early.
6:41 p.m.
I spoke too soon. The NDP has graduated from its "other" status on the Elections Canada website. But the NDP's gain is the Green Party's loss, as they are now categorized as "other." I'm no web designer, but this seems kind of lame...
6:25 p.m.
For some reason the refers to the NDP as "other." Seems a little strange. And their website is not nearly as user-friendly and visually appealing as Elections B.C. and the City of Vancouver's sites were last provincial and civic elections. Just sayin'.
6:10 p.m.
The pizza has arrived to fuel our crew before they head out into the cruel moonlight. One veggie for reporter Naoibh ("rhymes with Steve") O'Connor and a meaty one for rest of us heathens.
