Solicitor General Get's The Lead Out...
Yesterday, BC Solicitor General John van Dongen held a press conference to announce that he has surrendered his driver's license over some speeding tickets. While we do not condone speeding and poor driving habits, this news makes us want to support the BC Liberals even more!Rational people have to consider several facts that actually enhance the Liberal's position here:
- John van Dongen did not use his position or influence to prevent any police officers from giving him any tickets.
- John van Dongen fessed up to his poor driving record after his consideration of an appeal. He did so publicly and openly
- John van Dongen voluntarily asked that his ICBC portfolio be given to another minister to head up, so as now to create a conflict of interest.
- van Dongen did not use his influence to shift this problem 18 days forward to deal with the problem after the election.
We see no good reason for the Solicitor General to resign. Although we agree that his driving habits need improvement, we congratulate John van Dongen on his openness and transparency. Hey John, time to shed the lead foot!
Mary Polak Get's Out In Public
Langley MLA Mary Polak was spotted earlier this week knocking on doors in the Murrayville area and today was spotted door-knocking in various Willoughby townhouse complexes. Polak is not taking this election for granted and has been very visible in the riding and on radio and TV. She has also been on the phones talking to folks that have called her campaign office with questions on issues.
Other than a campaign office opening, NDP candidate Kathleen Stephany has been clearly absent from the public eye. We've also heard that Stephany has not engaged local leaders to discuss issues or the community. Either she professes to know it all, or it just doesn't matter to her.
MLA Rich Coleman
Over at Fort Langley/Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman's office (Coleman Country), Rich has been busy working the phones, talking issues and connecting with the public as various events. Again, other candidates being so visible? Not soo much. Why all the turtling folks?

Why don't you visit Mary Polak on Facebook before you smear her as AWOL?
Why don't you visit Mary Polak's website - http://www.marypolak.ca - before you lob your smears?
