Joining with dormant parties can be fun, friends! Pass the ginger ale and get the party started.

As a boy on the farm in New Brunswick, I learned that if you scare men or horses with crises, you'll never get them in the barn.

Looks more like W.A.C. Bennett than Nixon.

Who knew? Presidential historian Michael Beschloss was once a budding political cartoonist. This was published in a Williams College student newspaper a few weeks after VP Agnew resigned and the Saturday Night Massacre. Nov 9, 1973. 1/2 @BeschlossDC @JeffShesol @SpiroAgnewGhost

(Trying this again after a typo that @DaveObeeTC caught!) Without a doubt top 2 BC premiers were 1. WAC Bennett 2. Dave Barrett. I'd place Bill Bennett in third, Duff Pattullo in 4th (or vice versa). Free for all for fifth. Oliver? Campbell? Harcourt? #bcpoli

You guys keep talking about American Presidents - who were the best 5 Canadian Prime Ministers in the last 100 years ( I may have missed this - New Years booze) how about the best B C Premieres?

What we'll need in this province, friends, is a good Kelowna hardware merchant with a vision.
