With ballots still being counted, Sterk seemed destined to finish with no better than an unimpressive 7.5 per cent in Fairview this evening. And in the concomitant by-election held in Vancouver-Burrard, Green hopeful Drina Read fared even worse, with about 5.2 per cent.

Sterk's loss is the fifth consecutive setback for a Green leader in a provincial by-election. Former leader Stuart Parker lost three such bids — in Vancouver-Quilchena, Surrey-White Rock and Parksville-Qualicum in 1994, 1997 and 1998 respectively — while Adriane Carr was embarrassed in Surrey-Panorama Ridge in 2004.

Ouch.....

This just after the GP and the Environment being front and centre in a federal election.
