Vancouver By-election ABC Competitor Candidates

I need to figure out who the leading not-ABC candidates are for this week's municipal by-election (Sat Apr 5). Help me out and pitch the best contenders? Thank you!

@allen @vancouver

Lucy Maloney from OneCity
And .. 🤷
Maybe Reilly of the Greens. Maybe Orr from COPE.

Yeah you'll be hardpressed to find polling data. Not sure if anyone is even polling people to get a picture of who's leading.

I've taken up the strategy of voting for candidates who will bolster the party I want to see more of. So comparing the list of candidates: https://votemate.org/vancouver2025/candidates/?riding=762

To the current council: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver_City_Council#Since_2022

I'll probably pick someone based on that. Doing your own research for municipal level is quite difficult unless you go out of your way to talk to/interact with candidates and to attend the all candidate debate. Finding videos online hasn't been easy either.

Good luck!
