Always looking for a new restaurant. What your top 5

The Richmond News has been publishing their candidate profiles and are just past half way. I am compiling the council candidate responses into a (hopefully) handy spreadsheet so that you can get a quick glimpse of the candidates side by side.

Answers with an asterisks mean they provided a written response to that question.

I will endeavour to update this daily as more profiles are posted.

If I am being totally honest I don’t know how useful this is because it’s clear that some candidates are being much less honest with their answers than others. So please use this with an Himalayan rock sized grain of salt.

*Done to the best of my ability quickly and while I’m confident it is accurate I can’t say for 100% certainty that I haven’t made a single mistake.

I’ve recently moved to Richmond after a couple years in Vancouver, but before then I’ve always had a neighbourhood cookie dealer in my hometown and I’m looking for a new one, particularly for the chocolate mint ones in the fall! If you have a daughter in Girl Guides, especially if you’re near Richmond Centre please let me know!

Would it be safe to walk the length of the pipe that juts out into the ocean right now?

When is the best time?

Do the waves ever get wild? Is it ever crazy windy?

What's going on with all Transit buses? The bus is stopped and the hazard lights are on. The road is closed, and police/TransLink were present 3 hours ago at Blundell and No.2 by Price Mart. Now, at 5:30 pm, the same thing is happening at No.4 and Granville: a bus is stopped with a passenger inside and the road is closed

I was just there for the first time at the sunflower festival, where the fields were filled with massive stands of sunflowers.

How do they turn the fields around so quickly for pumpkins? I know my garden plants don't grow that quickly and fruit pumpkins in basically a month. Are the vines even in the fields at all? I swore they grow them in the fields and there's dead vines around them. Was it just hay and trucked in pumpkins from another field?
