A few comments from former BC Premier Rita Johnston

Yesterday in Victoria, Liberal party leader Christy Clark was officially sworn in as the 35^th premier in British Columbia.

Yesterday, I also had a chance to talk to Rita Johnston, a member of the BC Conservative Party’s Tactical Advisory Group (TAG).  Many of you will remember that back in 1991, as leader of the Social Credit Party, she became BC’s first female premier, and in fact the first woman premier in Canada.

Defections from the BC Liberals may be on the horizon in the next few months

Yesterday I was delighted to have the opportunity to listen online to the Bill Good Show, and hear his interview with former Social Credit Premier Rita Johnston. 

For those of you who are not aware, in 1991 she became Canada's first female premier.  She is also a member of the BC Conservative Party's Tactical Advisory Group, which is headed up by former Reform MP Randy White.

While Bill’s interview with her was mainly focused on comparisons between then and now, as Christy Clark takes over the reins of the BC Liberal Party, she was able to comment and get in discussion of the BC Conservatives, and their upcoming leadership race.

I did stick around for the next segment on his show as well, because Bill Good mentioned that he would be having former Liberal, now independent MLA’s Bill Bennett (Kootenay East) and Blair Lekstrom (Peace River South) on with him.
