BC Liberal Leadership Turtle Derby...All Your Sign-Ups 'R Us.

Once upon a time in Clarkland (courtesy David Ball's recent report on Mr. Brian Bonney's sentencing deliberations):

"...It wasn't the only time Clark's name surfaced during Bonney's hearings this week. Also referenced by the Crown was how she won her own race for B.C. Liberal leadership in 2011 with the endorsement of only one elected MLA, Harry Bloy. After she became Premier, Bloy was "rewarded" with a job as Minister of State for Multiculturalism — directly overseeing ethnic outreach efforts — Butcher stated.

Bloy had secured bulk "block" online votes for Clark from ethnic communities; she eked out a win over her second-place contender by 340 points..."



Fast forward to the current BCLiberal leadership sign-up-a-palooza:

Rookie Liberal MLA Michael Lee says he’s signed up the most new members in his party’s leadership contest, and is warning competitors not to underestimate his ability to win the race...


Gosh.

Didn't/Don't those two campaigns have the same show runner?

It would be interesting to know what Kevin Falcon and George Abbott are thinking about the current leadership race.
