	srn-Surrey-Newton
		Igali is the true epitome of a 'star candidate' and I think the voters of Surrey Newton will think about that, the adversity he's gone through in life, how much he cares about people, and how much he'll raise the profile of the riding in the legislature.
		Daniel Igali, a refugee from Nigeria, is a humanitarian and an Olympic gold medalist: an inspiration to immigrants and natives alike, and a real source of pride for the community.
		While Daniel Igali is a nice guy who can avoid, to a certain extent, the meanness that Gordon Campbell emits it's simply not enough against an NDP candidate of Indian decent in a riding with a large population of Indian decent and left leaning tendencies that the NDP won by over 20% in 1996.
