But Sean, since it's hardly a qualification, ... it probably is irrelevant! As a connection, that's different!

So involvement in the political process excludes one from holding positions in the public sector?

No wonder apathy runs rampit. Involvement only leads to scorn of the jealous.

I must agree - I don't think one's activism need be included in bios of this nature. Ms. Yurkovich's connections to the Liberals are transparent for all too see, but they're not relevant in a professional bio.

However, the fact that she heads up Corporate Affairs at BC Hydro and now sits on the Board of Governors for UBC should tell your readers everything they need to know about the Liberals' complete politicization of both these - and many other - public organizations.

Perhaps one should take a look at the ICBC management lineup to assess why a large profit made by a public insurer is not being passed on to its customers - er, perhaps because the Liberals ideologically hate this highly successful public corporation, and want the public to hate it too, given that the company is financially successful and so "badly run socialistic publicly owned company" is off the table...

Susan Yurkovich has two degrees from UBC, has held senior executive positions in the private and public sectors, has board experience, and is barely 40. You go girl !

Straight from the bowels of the premier's office ladies and gentleman!
