Kevin Potvin
Kevin Potvin (born 1962 in Port Arthur, Ontario) is a newspaper publisher and columnist, small business owner, and politician based in Vancouver, British Columbia. He founded and runs the Magpie Magazine Gallery, a retail store on Commercial Drive, and ''The Republic of East Vancouver,'' an alternative bi-weekly newspaper. Since 1995 he has written a regular opinion column in the ''Vancouver Courier.'' His forays into electoral politics have proven controversial, particularly because of his views on Canadian and American foreign policy.
==Politics==
In 2005 Potvin ran for councillor in the Vancouver municipal election. He received 10,806 votes, placing 22nd in the polls (with the first ten being elected to council), gaining the most votes for an independent.
In the fall of 2006, he was elected president of the Grandview-Woodland Area Council.
On 15 April 2007, Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada, issued a release stating that Potvin would not be allowed to run as a candidate in the riding of Vancouver-Kingsway. The decision was made after a controversy developed over an article Potvin wrote following the September 11 attacks (see below). May cited Potvin's remarks as "antithetical" to Green Party values.
