The stars came out that night

Last night, an anoymous source posting on Public Eye gave further details about Wednesday's Surrey-Panorama Ridge provincial Liberals by-election fundraiser. According to the source, the fundraiser was attended by cabinet ministers Pat Bell, Susan Brice, Shirley Bond, Rich Coleman, Kevin Falcon, Colin Hansen, Brenda Locke, Joyce Murray and Patrick Wong. Also along for the ride: backbenchers Harry Bloy, David Hayer, Gordon Hogg and Ken Stewart making this "the biggest event" since the party's annual Dinner Under The Sails. That's another indication the provincial Liberals are investing significant resources in this by-election. The source then went onto to add many of those MLAs "were in the Lower Mainland last night for this purpose alone."
