LPP names three in Greater Vancouver The Labor-Progressive party will enter candidates in three Greater Vancouver constituencies as part of a policy of work- ing for unity of all progressive voters around the issues of peace, trade and jobs and striving for defeat of Tory, Liberal and Socred candidates in the forthcoming federal election.
