The betrayal of the right in British Columbia
In my latest article for the Huffington Post, I look at the British Columbia Liberal Party’s ongoing indifference to right-wing voters in the province, despite the fact that they clearly need their support in order to beat the opposition NDP. Quote:
In a particularly dopey piece in the Globe and Mail this week, Gary Mason commented that “the Premier’s efforts to cast her Liberal administration in a bluer hue has had all the subtlety of football’s end-zone dance,” which is certainly the beleaguered party’s preferred narrative at the moment. Yet in terms of actual, real-world sightings of ostentatious conservatism, Mason could only spot two: Clark’s recent import of “a top federal Tory strategist as her new chief of staff,” and the fact that she recently sat beside Prime Minister Harper at her son’s pewee hockey game.
I certainly hope she didn’t strain something from all that reaching out.
