BC Liberal Party 2012 Convention starts today

Like myself later today - many of the registered BC Liberal Party delegates will be making their way to Whistler for the 2 day convention which starts with a "Convention-eve" reception, hosted by BC Premier Christy Clark and her provincial Cabinet

Then on Friday - it is "Free Enterprise" Day which includes policy discussions and a Unity Dinner

Finally on Saturday - policy discussions will continue and a keynote address by BC Liberal Party Leader/BC Premier Christy Clark.

And as usual - there will be the plentiful of hospitality suites to take in.  I expect that there will be more than the roughly 200 delegates that attended the recently-held BC Conservative Party AGM.  According to Vaughn Palmer earlier this week, some 800 delegates had registered so far for the BC Liberal Party Convention

I'm looking forward to the entire event and having great policy discussions with fellow delegates.

Party of 800.....your table is ready, er, your trough is ready. Steve, really, think about what you're doing. The electorate is peeved enough as it is without you throwing these party time numbers around. Where does the money come for all these things? The Party coffers you say? Who gives to those and gets tax breaks as a result so the rest of us can pay more tax? Party people.

Hope you enjoy your weekend Steve ... but IF we are comparing numbers, The BC Conservatives, which really only came out of the wilderness 2 years ago, had 6 and a quarter percent of our membership out to their AGM (250 of 4,000 members)>

Just wondering, if your party is so strong, what percentage you folks will be getting out??

1,000 out of a membership of 60,0000+ members is at best 1.5 percent
