Interesting messaging from the NDP today:
"Parliament works best when one party doesn't have all the power. So if you want pharmacare to happen...vote for a New Democrat. Re-elect your New Democrat incumbents," NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said.
Clearest pivot away from "I'm running for PM" to date.

I've heard back from the City of Vancouver.
They confirmed that they have approximately 265 staff "currently in the field" working the byelection.
That's a 79% dropoff from the 2017 byelection.
Odd they didn't mention that in their original explanation to media as to why lines were so long.

I've cracked the code of why byelection lineups are so long in Vancouver today.
It's not just a turnout question.
Compared to the 2017 byelection, the city decreased the number of election workers by EIGHTY PERCENT.
From 1,250 in 2017 to 250 this time around.
This was a staff recommendation.

A further, and somewhat odd update for folks:
- The city emailed me, claiming it is *only* a 62% reduction in staff, and asked where I got my info from
- I told them I got it from the city clerk when she briefed city council, where she said it two times
So we'll see what they say
