Sunday morning, on Public Eye Radio, we'll speak with federal Conservative Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca candidate Troy DeSouza about how much credit politicians can take for the distribution of government monies. Surrey city councillor Tom Gill joins us to discuss his decision on whether to support the expansion of a gaming facilities in Surrey - a decision that's been playing out across British Columbia. Former parliamentarian Randy White talks about how the provincial Conservatives can replicate the success of the Wildrose Alliance in Alberta. And our rabble-rousing panel - Don Anderson, David Cubberley, Bob Russell and Allan Warnke - debate the week that was in provincial and federal politics. You can listen to Public Eye Radio outside of Victoria by logging into CFAX 1070 between 8:00 and 10:00. If you have a question for one of our guests, you can email us or leave a comment below.

Question for Randy White: How much of the fact the Wildrose Alliance just hired a telegenic personality & good communicator who is not a raving social conservative and who is Alberta's future Mary Polak (Danielle Smith also had a school board dust-up) factors into your thoughts?
Question for the panel: Could you accept my date to say anything nice about the BCLiberals :-)?
Josef K. sure does flog the name of Polak at every chance he can get. One wonders if he is actually she.
Thanks Avoter :-). You wish...
I think every BCLib MLA ought to have boosters in cyberspace instead of nothing.
Sean:
a) The fact you had so many troubles w/ the BC Conservatives this morning shows they aren't ready for prime time. If the BC Conservatives were competent, they could pick up Vicki Huntington.
b) Standing up for foster families? Try Min. Mary Polak - see her Ministry foster family blog.
(Even I wanted to avoid me being all Mary Polak, all the time).
c) The BC budget doesn't need yet more bureaucracy - what it needs is a winter provincial election (try mid-December for a small tourism boost - doing it in the fall proper means running concurrently w/ American media hogs and doing it in May isn't working out budget-wise) and the BCLibs are learning that you don't base budgets on the most professionally optimistic numbers out there.
Great show today so far!
