Diana Gibson

So he's certainly got some name recognition there.

Um, but again, he's up against Diana Gibson of the NDP, who won by a fairly hefty margin last time.

So a lot of people who voted NDP presumably voted Green for, with Weaver-

Mm

I think that's largely I think they're waiting for the municipal signs to be cleared, uh, once the vote's over on, on Saturday.

Then we'll probably see some more signs.

But right now, not seen a lot of Andrew Weaver signs, but not seen a lot of Diana Gibson signs either.

Hi, everyone.

In the past, that hasn't been the case.

Before it was, um, uh, Diana Gibson, it was Murray Rankin.

Before it was Murray Rankin, it was, uh, not the NDP, it was Andrew Weaver and the Greens.

And before it was Andrew Weaver and the Greens, it was Ida Chong with the BC Liberals.

I

think Oak Bay, notwithstanding Diana Gibson's experience there, Weaver's a real wild card and could upset that one.

Yeah, well, let's talk about Oak Bay next time.

It's a really interesting four-way race.

That matters because of what's going on in Oak Bay.

Cabinet minister Diana Gibson is running for re-election.

The premier said she's been lobbying him for this project.

He's given it to her.

Sidney holds two PhDs from the University of Toronto.

That's a prestigious institution for anybody who knows u of t uh has worked closely it says with indigenous and government leadership says has worked with doctors without borders in the democratic republic of congo says as a reporter in the capital regional district she says i've come to understand the unique nature and scale of the challenges facing this area said coles i'm reading their press release says i want to support esquimalt and colwood in continuing to be places where people and their families feel welcome safe and are able to thrive and this is interesting because We talked about Oak Bay Gordon Head, Andrew Weaver running for Centre BC, as well as Diana Gibson with the NDP as the incumbent.

Sorry, her name, for some reason, couldn't come into my brain for a moment there.

Andrew Appleton, who's a municipal councillor in the District of Oak Bay.

And the number of votes that he might pull from non-NDP representatives in that riding are among the unanswered questions that we have in this race.

We do know that Diana Gibson, though, is going to be running for re-election for the New Democrats in that riding.

And we had a chance to speak with her earlier today.

It sounded like this.

I'm going to see if this is our guest.

There it is.

Hello, is this Diana Gibson? Hello.

It is, yeah.

Obviously, you're running for Senator B.C. Weaver's running against an NDP cabinet minister.

He's running against Diana Gibson.

So if there's any vote splitting going on there, it's more likely to cut into the NDP vote.

Weaver has a pretty big following out there.
