Conservative Riding Vice President Brings Hundreds of New Supporters To Liberal Campaign

The arrival of former Conservative Fleetwood-Port Kells Riding VP Gurtej Gill brought several thousand supporters to the Brenda Locke Liberal campaign from the South Asian community in Surrey. Liberal campaign volunteers will be spending the weekend updating voter lists, and consolidating new relationships, as the campaign runs into the last few days...

Desperate Nina Grewal officials indicated in the press that "he takes no-one". Mr. Gill - a prominent member of the South Asian community has been a key contact in the community for Harper Conservatives, and was critical in bringing names and numbers to the national Conservative Party over the past several years. They obviously don't understand how politics tends to work in the South Asian communities. The community network if very important. Key spokespersons tend to draw large groups with them. Having said that, the community, for the most part, does see politics like anyone else: watching the news, reading the papers, worrying about the economy our Sub-Prime Minister has wrought, and hearing about "Cadscam".

Looking forward to an exciting weekend of canvassing and vote consolidation...
