Shortly Before Premier Calls Byelections,BC Conservative Leader Dan Brooks Resigns! #bcpoli #canpoli #byelections

Dan Brooks Heads for the Hills!

Most likely fearing the byelections that the Premier called moments ago and that have been discussed as recently as last week in the mainstream media , BC Conservative Leader resigned his position yesterday.

Brooks resignation follows his thumping in the previous provincial election, several resignations on the provincial board, lack of funds raised by his team and most notably the recent lawsuit launched against him and certain member’s of his leadership contest team for smear letters written against candidate Rick Peterson.

The allegations have yet to be proven in court and come up for trial in November of 2016.

The board in the announcement of his resignation applauds Brooks for staying on at least until the Party`s February AGM.

There are a lot of us who think he should leave now and the harder the door hits him in the rear on the way out the better.

The party is not dead. Brooks resignation opens the doors for some exciting candidates to step forward.

I have heard a lot of chatter about new leaders in the last 24 hours.

It will be an interesting to see who steps up.

That discussion is for another day.

Today is for Dan Brooks.

Good riddance!

Donald Trump: The most talked about political story in 2015 , 2016 and maybe 2017 #uspoli #canpoli #trump #election2016 #bcpoli #republican

Everybody talked about me last year and they are certainly going to talk about me this year and if I get my way 2017!

Love him or hate him, one thing is for sure; you talked about him in 2015.

From mainstream media,to bloggers through Facebook and Twitter Donald Trump was all the rage.

He will be this year too!

The US election is not until November 8,2016 all but guaranteeing Trump will be in the news for eleven months of the year right?

As you look into the New Year consider this: When you are saying good bye to 2016 you will be saying either of these two things:

1) We dodged a bullet there, imagine what would have happened had Trump won OR

2) It’s only 20 more days ( Jan.20,2017 ) until Trump gets inaugurated.

Either way, you will still be talking about him and thats why Donald Trump gets the nod as the most talked about political story of last year, this year and maybe next!
