The Lower Vancouver Island federal Conservatives are considering planting a municipal farm team in Victoria, Public Eye has learned. The theoretical team will run under a populist banner in November 2005 against Mayor Alan Lowe's pro-business, "non-partisan" slate and the Victoria Civic Electors alliance, which counts both Greens and New Democrats as members. Discussions about the new local Conservative party are set to begin in September. But already a number of names are being tossed around as potential candidates including Victoria constituency association president Paul Holmes and Jeff Bridge, who comments regularly on Public Eye and was a senior Stephen Harper operative in British Columbia during the Conservative leadership race. The Tories had previously approached Mayor Lowe about joining his slate during the last round of civic elections but were turned away.
In case no one noticed, there already is a farm team for the federal conservatives/reform/alliance or whatever name they currently go by this year. It`s called the BC Liberals.
Interesting how one can equate the BC Liberals with the Conservatives when the BC Liberals and Federal Liberals are so closely linked and share the same policies.
Bernard,
My thoughts exactly!
Yah Jeff, there are no Conservatives in the BC Liberals right? If what you are saying is that the Conservative Party of Canada is well to the right of the BC Liberal Party then be my guest, shout it from the rooftops.
My thoughts exactly. Testify Mr. Bridge.
Actually, there may be quite a few direct links between the federal Liberals and the BC Liberals. The thing is, we won`t find out just how close they are, until we find out why the legislature was raided.
All I said was that the B.C. Liberals are more closely linked with the Federal Liberals than any other political party.But then the federal Liberals also identify with the provincial NDP when they pluck star(?) NDP players like Ujjal Dosanjh.But that just makes sense and if you recall during the election the Prime Minister saying Liberal and NDP values were the same.But you are right,if and when the facts from the raid are disclosed we will see who is linked to who.Adsam already proved the Federal Liberals are corrupt,lets see what the raid does.
