Former Cariboo-North MLA Bob Simpson posted his "Letter to the Editor" on Facebook discussing his opinion on the closure of the Quesnel Comprehensive Youth Centre (Quesnel Cariboo Observer Editor Autumn MacDonald confirms the letter will be printed in today's Quesnel Cariboo Observer) which you can read for yourself here
Meanwhile - on eQuesnel.com, one person has floated the possibility of Bob Simpson mounting a Quesnel Mayoral bid in this November's civic election. You can read the discussion for yourself here
Having met Bob personally a number of times -- it doesn't seem like he has an interest in being a municipal politician given his real political interest is in provincial land-base issues like Forestry/LNG/Fracking… but stranger things have happened.
Consider the case of former Bourassa, Quebec MP Denis Coderre. Was a successful Federal Liberal Cabinet Minister, then opposition MP and then was convinced to run for Mayor of Montreal and won in the Montreal civic election last fall. And Coderre was not the only federal Liberal MP, several others left federal politics for the municipal political arena
