Available seats for B.C. Conservatives
Hurry, hurry, snap one up before they're all gone! That's right, by my count there are only 5 vacant Conservative nominations left in B.C., so if there's a certain cabinet minister who's looking, here are the remaining choices:
[UPDATE: OK, there are actually 6 seats left. Turns out (again) it was not a good idea to rely on Wikipedia, and so we can add Vancouver Centre, currently held by long-time Liberal M.P. Hedy Fry, to the list as well.]

- Burnaby – Douglas, where a reader wrote me tonight to advise that Wikipedia was wrong again, and in fact no nomination meeting has been scheduled as yet. Wikipedia lists Ronald Leung, but in fact he is currently a candidate for the Conservative nomination, as is Salomon Rayek. The incumbent M.P. is two-term NDP'er Bill Siksay.
- Kamloops – Thompson – Cariboo, a very interesting choice points out one Kamloops blogger, since incumbent Conservative M.P. Betty Hinton will not be running again.
- Vancouver East, where the incumbent is long-time NDP M.P. Libby Davies.
- Vancouver Kingsway, the riding currently held by two-term Conservative M.P. David Emerson, who was elected on both occasions as a Liberal, but subsequently changed parties to accept a cabinet position.
- Vancouver Quadra, narrowly won by first-time Liberal M.P. Joyce Murray in this past spring's by-election.
