Vancouver Deserves The Liberal Leadership Convention - Message To Exec:
A message to our party executive meeting today "somewhere in the East"...

Do not let our party become a "Central/Eastern Canada Rump"...
Be inclusive with your decision - reach out to the rest of Canada. Establish a strong presence OUTSIDE of Toronto... A convention was already "set" for Vancouver. Liberals made PLANS to come to Vancouver. Let's not send a message to the rest of Canadians, that policy takes a "back seat" for us.
Help our party grow in new areas.
Help us grow our membership size.
Help us grow our donation base.

Vancouver Deserves The Liberal Leadership Convention - Nat Exec Decides Tomorrow!
Vancouver deserves the Liberal leadership convention! Join our Facebook group!
The national executive of the LPofC will decide on this matter tomorrow. If the party is really open to making "change we can believe it" (to coin a somewhat popular saying from South of the border), they'll decide to help grow our party in the one region in Canada that could help us win the next election.
We are NOT in full retreat. We are NOT going to back down from Harper in Parliament, and we're NOT going to cower in some urban corner in Metro Toronto while Harper takes apart the country around us.
We are proud Liberals.
We are strong Liberals.
We are capable Liberals.
"Yes we can" establish a beachhead in the West.
"Yes we can" grow our support and our seats in the West.
This Saturday our party needs to make a decision between retreat and advance - between growth and stagnation - between new ideas and old. We hope they decide in favor of progress.

ps: Pardon the "liberal" use of Obama catch phrases...

Vancouver Deserves The Liberal Leadership Convention - Pt. 4
If you support growing the party in the West, join the Facebook group...
Why?
Because we've all heard enough Toronto jokes...
Because EVERYONE in the party is sick of being called "Toronto-centric"...
Because the West wants "in"...
Because Vancouver will be beautiful that time of year (check out our cherry blossoms)...
Because it would look great for Liberals from across Canada to choose to prop up the Vancouver economy (the City just announced a $100,000,000 bailout of the Olympics... Don't let "Montreal 76" happen to us)... Whatdya mean we don't "support" the West?
Because The "West side is the best side..." according to Tupac and Dre...
Because delegates can go skiing in the morning, whale-watching in the afternoon, and still have time for a BBQ on the beach in the evening...
Because you might just see Brad and Angelina... (seriously)...
Because some friendly, "down-home", Western Grits might just billet you for the convention, to help you save on hotel costs... (we ain't kiddin')...
Because, here in "Lotus-land", we really know how to partaaaaaaayyy!
Because the Democrats showed us how to "establish beach-heads" in "enemy" territory...
Because, hell, even the Leafs fly out here once in a while...
Because their ain't nothin' like BC salmon and fine BC wine...
Because we need to grow the party...
Because we want to WIN the next election.

Vancouver Deserves The Liberal Leadership Convention - Part 3
Vancouver DESERVES the Liberal Leadership Convention...
Join the Facebook Group here...
"VANCOUVER DESERVES THE LIBERAL LEADERSHIP CONVENTION"
Why?
Didn't we MAKE money with the last convention? Did the party NOT subsidize flights from remote areas (they did)?
Go to the Facebook Group, "Vancouver Deserves The Liberal Leadership Convention" to express your thoughts!
They make a good point there... Western delegates have paid through the @$$ the past 3 conventions, to fly to Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal. The party DID subsidize those flights though (and STILL made money on the convention).
I argue this:
We can keep exploiting the same folks in the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal corridor (they STILL have to pay convention fees), OR we can grow into a new area, and grow our membership in a metro area (Greater Vancouver) which has close to 3 million voters.
Bringing the convention to the West will grow the party - meaning more donations, more volunteers, and more membership fees. Keeping the convention in the East will mean the same faces, paying into the party, over and over, little growth, and little chance of "new" members becoming delegates.
Time to grow the party!
