And Then There Were Five

Prince George, B.C. - With just 10 days to go until the Liberal party picks a new leader and Premier-designate for the province, candidate Moira Stilwell has announced she is dropping out of the race and will throw her support behind George Abbott.

That leaves Abbott, Christy Clark, Mike de Jong, Kevin Falcon, and George Mayne in a five-way fight to replace outgoing Premier Gordon Campbell.

In a release just issued, Stilwell says, "I entered this leadership campaign because I have a proven ability, built over my 32 years of leadership in medicine, to bring people together, to know what questions to ask and to solve problems. I see these key leadership qualities in George as well, and that is why I have decided to support him.”

B.C. Liberals will vote on February 26th in a new voted weighted system decided on this past weekend that gives all ridings an equal say in determining the next leader.

Who the heck is she?

She's a doctor. She was (I think) the first person to announce her run for Premier and was supposedly backed by Campbell. I believe she would have been the best choice and was getting my vote, now I'm not voting at all.

Another useless pawn to screw things up further. Vote Liberal, PC, or NDP and you'll get the same bs we've been getting for the last 50 yrs. Just maybe in a different order. Vote Canadian Action Party, do some research people.....

Forget it, icecapp. They haven't got it right either. It's "de-centralised" citizen control over governments (and money)that's needed. Not one more group that's trying to further concentrate control into an all-powerful Federal government. One where WE will end up having even less say in what WE want it to do than we do now. And inflation and taxation become even worse menaces to our freedom than they already are.

Superficially, the Canadian Action Party's ideas on financing government might sound attractive to many ~ but they are fatally flawed. For their proposed use of the printing press at the Bank of Canada does NOTHING towards making goods and services already in existence, or easily capable of being made, MORE AFFORDABLE to Canadians. Rather, just the opposite. If YOU do some research and study this I think you'll quickly realise what I mean.
