In a post
a week ago, I included the following phrase; "...the
concept of fiduciary trust and adherence to high ethical standards is not an
optional requirement of a public organization incorporated under the Societies
Act. It is a legal requirement as well as a moral imperative."
I wish I could claim it as my own, however it was a friend who provided it too me.

Today, I repeat it once more, on the eve of the BC Conservative
Party AGM, which will be held tomorrow in Richmond. Over the past several months I have written
on concerns that I, and others have had, with regards to a failure by the
current Board to be open and transparent, and to move the BC Conservatives
forward in a positive light that clearly presents an electable option to both
the NDP and the BC Liberals.
Today, I had intended to present a much different post, however a
good friend wisely counseled me saying:
"There will be a new board elected on Saturday
night. If we are lucky, it will be a much more democratic and efficient board -
and on Monday
morning of next week you may find that a number of these issues will have
already been cleared up."
Since
first running as a candidate for the BC Reform Party in 1996, I have championed
the need for an alternative to polarized politics -- that the people of BC
should always have a choice. Not just
Left or Right, but also reasoned and forward thinking.
I still believe,
firmly, this is necessary.
And that is why today I simply say, "May common sense prevail tomorrow, and may the MEMBERS of the BC conservative Party, and those who have tried to defend and protect it, have the opportunity to see it rise once again."
