Merry Christmas to you … and best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season …

As this year rapidly draws to a close, many people were asking what the likelihood of a provincial election was for next year.  While one Liberal leadership candidate, Christy Clark was saying there should be one if she is elected -- other leadership hopefuls have been saying no.  Regardless, Elections BC says they will need six months to prepare and get voters lists ready.  Keep in mind though there is at least the possibility we could have a few by-elections depending on the outcome of recall campaigns -- and depending on the winner of the NDP and Liberal leadership races.


One thing I do feel certain about is the continued growth, and interest in, the conservative movement in BC.  While it has only been half a year since I became a member of the BC Conservative Party, my desire for government accountability goes back a long ways, and so I wish I'd heard about the party much sooner.  Whether you’re new like me, or you’ve been a member for some time, it’s a great feeling to know that there are dozens of people across the province joining the party every week!  

I believe that is a good sign overall because despite the apathy towards politics and politicians, it means more and more people are again showing a hunger for real change, and they want to see the new conservative party succeed in BC!


As we end this current year why not keep this thought in mind; perhaps like me you have family members, neighbours, friends, and co-workers who are unaware of the BC Conservative Party.  Do them a favor and send them online to http://www.conservativesbc.com, especially if you have acquaintances in the Fraser / Nicola area.  The Fraser / Nicola stretches from Clinton in the North ... down south to Manning Park near Hope.  The western boundary reaches nearly to Pemberton, and on the East it reaches to Savona.  It includes the communities of Clinton, Cache Creek, Ashcroft, Logan Lake, Merritt, Lillooet, Lytton, Princeton, Skeetchestn, and Goldbridge. 

I have enjoyed the start of this project, and I hope that I have been able to give you some food for thought – whether you agree with me or not.  If you have a comment to make why not take a few minutes and drop me a line at thompsonnicolabcconservatives@hotmail.ca; I’ll be delighted to hear from you.

Well, this is my last posting for this week as I am looking forward to taking a break to spend time with family and friends this Christmas and New Years.  I wish you all the best for this special holiday season ... Merry Christmas, and I hope that you enjoy a safe and Happy New Year!
