Prince George, B.C. – Before a crowd of fifty people, Pat Bell and Shirley Bond have both been officially nominated as the Liberal candidates for the ridings they currently hold, Prince George -Mackenzie and Prince George -Valemount in the upcoming provincial election.
(at right, both Pat Bell and Shirley Bond give an enthusiastic thumbs up to their run for re-election – photo 250News)
Shirley Bond said "Today is day one of the campaign and it is going to end in success". The Justice Minister added "This is going to be a challenging three months ahead for me on the personal side , this has not been an easy decision to make when you have been in government for the past 12 years."
Speaking about the recent announcements that numerous members will not seek re-election Bond said "We need to demonstrate to British Columbians that we are open to change. It is time to open the doors and get some new blood."
Pat Bell told the gathering it his belief "If we put together a government in 2013, it will be around for decades." He added that there is a need to get the media to tell the positive stories about the Christy Clark leadership and that the upcoming election will be critical to ensuring the development of projects and creation of jobs in B.C. in the years ahead.

Sorry. Time to hang it up folks. The BC Liberals are done.
Whoopee Doo! who cares? not me. Mr. Bell seems a hard working fellow, don’t agree with his point of view at all, but Ms. Bond is just hard to swallow.
I have never understood the fascination with Ms. Bell’s record. She was a lousy school board member, but a great parrot/puppet for Mr. Campbell. I am all for more women in government, but really – she has absolutely nothing of value to say! I am not a raging political person, but I can’t stand how she spouts to provided script with no evidence of strong personal opinions.
Thanks for your time and efforts folks, but we really, really need some fresh ideas and effort, so, go back to the real world and try making a living away from the government tab.
Bell and Bond were big supporters of Gordon Campbell, Colin Hansen, and the HST.
In excess of 7000 people in each riding (PG MacKenzie & PG Valemount) voted against the HST, which means that Bell and Bond were totally out of touch with their constituents on that issue. (among others).
After the HST was defeated they never said a word about the defeat, or the fact that most people in the Province were against this tax.
Sooooooo. Where do they stand on this and other issues. I tell you where. They stand where ever their boss tells them to stand. They are **yes** men/women.
Bell was a Falcon supporter during the leadership campaign, and quickly switched to Christy after she won. Others like Falcon, Abbot, etc; chose to leave. Hmmmmmm.
Pat Bell told the gathering it his belief “If we put together a government in 2013, it will be around for decades.”
Ya right, sorry Pat, you and Shirley do a great job, but the legacy of lies and deciept that make the Glen Clark government look like innocent schoolboys and girls, I believe will leave the liberals ( or whatever you decide to call yourselves) on the outside looking in… I sincerely do hope that you and Shirly do get re-elected, because there likely isn’t enough small business forestry for you to fall back on….
Best of luck though!!!
It’s truly amazing how these two can run around with smiles on their faces like everything is just so perfect.
Yeah, like Sheri Ogasawara is going to be any better. Give your heads a shake!
Ms. Bond says, “It is time to open the doors and get some new blood.” Then she announces she is running again. Makes sense!!
Maybe she’s a vampire.
Pat & Shirley who? Hey, theres a video on MSN of a bunny humping a kitten!
The photo above is of two people who really know how to toe the party line.
