"Blair Wilson, Chair of the BC Caucus".

Stop right there...no need to go on about any other problems...

A bit odd that prospective candidates and their campaign managers would entitled to attend.

Usually only the nominated candidates and their
campaign managers (if they have one) are entitled to attend.

From the agenda seems to be more of generalities
and busy work for the political hacks.

But wouldn't expect any earthshaking new things
from the federal Liberals. Since this Made in BC Agenda should be a subset of the National Agenda, which hasn't been finalised yet, how can the Made In BC Agenda be worth anything, especially an expensive few nights in hotels?

It's more of a "here's where we are in the goal of getting out of this misery and uncomfy environment of being an opposition party, and back to being where we belong, a majority governing party"

Mr. Tsukamis, what are you going to say when Blair Wilson succeeds future Prime-minister Stephane Dion as the next leader of the Liberal Party?

What am I going to say?

Lemme tell ya.....

One: you're on copious quantities of glue to think that Dion will be PM. Your top-flight organizers have said so even--showing us that there is a reason for your anonimity...the only way Dion becomes Prime Minister is if it is revealed that Stephen Harper has been doing a nun...

Two: Blair Wilson is lucky to have been elected anything.

Three: I think you should quit making predictions, unless you are being paid in nickels based on the outrageousness of your claims--in that case stick with it, you just became a trillionaire.

Future Campaign Manager? Of what? Being a dumb ass?

Future Prime Minister Stephane Dion?

Stephane will have a future, but it will be something else:

The Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition.

that is until the knives come out.

Mr Tsukamis

Surely all the cigars and whiskey have diminished your ability to think rationally. Blair Wilson is being groomed as we speak to be the Liberal Party's next Pierre Trudeau. You should see him slide down a banister. 52% of the Canadian population will fall madly in love with him. He will win the biggest majority since John Diefenbaker. Blairmania will sweep the nation. I guarantee it.

Why is it that all these Liberal Party musings have a kind of rambunctious, sophomoric quality? It's as if they secretly know that out of office is really starting to mean out of power, out of money and patronage, and out of luck.

I am thinking here of the recent Tory nomination race in North Delta, where the two top contenders were, until recently, Liberal activists in the South Asian community. And I am reminded of a column a couple of years ago in which Tory blogger-punditi Colby Cosh wrote that, as Liberal fortunes in general sank beneath some critical threshold, eventually all of the client and constituency group leaders who were there for patronage and access would simply bolt en masse, taking their constituencies with them.
