A lot at stake in the BC Liberal leadership this weekend
The BC Liberals elect a new leader this weekend, with the results to be know by Saturday evening.
It’s truth or consequences time for the party. Will it be more of the same or a new direction? Former cabinet minister Kevin Falcon is one of the frontrunners. Liberals have to decide whether he brings new blood – or Gordon Campbell 2.0.
Three MLAs are also in the race along with three newcomers. MLA and former Indigenous leader Ellis Ross has made a big impression with members and would certainly represent a new approach. The other two MLAs are Mike Lee and Rene Merrifield, along with three newcomers from the business sector.
What’s important for the party is whether the winner can defeat the NDP in the next election . . . or will voters stick with the NDP? Whomever the Liberal choose, will impact British Columbia’s future. VIDEO COMMENT

It's easy for politicians, they can spend what they want because somebody else will pay for it – the taxpayers.
Well done Merv & Marg
Nanaimo is still a good place, but the powers that be have let it run to ruin. This is sad to see.
i agree it is the volunteers in Nanaimo that make it such a wonderful place to live. I've lived all over B. C. and came back to Nanaimo to raise my kids and join the family business. Never any regret
Thank you Mr. Peckford for voicing concerns that many Canadians share, but remain silent.
