Meeting and greeting people he's already met?

Earlier today, one of our astute readers reported there would a reception tonight for federal Liberal turncoat David Emerson. Our operatives confirm that reception, which is being organized by strategic communicator Patrick Kinsella, is taking place between 5:00 to 7:00 and being billed as a meet-and-greet event. But there seems to be question marks over who exactly the new international trade minister is meeting - a list which might not extend much past the usual Terminal City suspects. After all, in an interview with Public Eye, Vancouver-Kingsway federal Conservative constituency association president Marilyn Brown said she wasn't aware of the reception, adding "I asked David if he wanted to have an event. And we actually asked if he wanted to have a big rally. And he said, 'No. Just let me get on with my work.'"

That's pretty funny. Of course he doesn't want to plan a big rally!

And naturally, Mr Kinsella will have to keep the location of his do a closely guarded secret and to screen the guest list with a fine-toothed comb to keep up appearances!

I am a conservative in Vancouver Kingsway and have found out by accident that an AGM is being held on March 1st. Apparently only people who are friendly to the stand in president Marilyn Brown were contacted. I as a Chinese person was denied contact because the Chinese community is apparently not happy with the crossing. I wonder if Mrs Brown has ever talked to any of the Chinese members.

I was also not the only person, I called a few other people and they too were not contacted about the AGM. Rumour has it that Mrs Brown wants to be president and fill the board with people who are loyal to only her. Last time I looked the membership had to be notified by mail or by a phone call for goodness sakes, so much for the constitution and grass roots!

The conservative party never seemed to have a problem calling myself or any of the others I know for donations when the election was on, but when it comes to an AGM they seem to have lost our names, numbers and mailing addresses!
