Yesterday, we broke the news that Concerned Parents of British Columbia chairman Brian Roodnick would "likely" be running for the federal Conservative nomination in Richmond. In recent months, Mr. Roodnick has been making much noise about the amount of comparative influence two gay rights activists will have over British Columbia's grade school curriculum. And that's why one of those activists - Peter Corren - wasn't surprised when he found out about Mr. Roodnick's career plans. Speaking with Public Eye, Mr. Corren noted he and his partner Murray have "maintained all along that his grandstanding was obviously trying to lead to a political future." Asked whether he had any advice for Richmond Conservatives in advance of their nomination meeting, Mr. Corren said the Tories "should seriously consider what the values of Canada are. And I think they're drifting further and further away and becoming more American." And, if Mr. Roodnick was selected as the Conservative's candidate for Richmond, "it would reinforce that" drift.
