The NDP flag barer that is running in this riding, Penticton Okanagon Valley is Gary Litke.

================================================================
Is he a good chance to knock off Barisoff?

No idea how good a candidate he is.

My prediction is the Liberals will win another majority but not as many seats as before.

Barisoff got 62.73% of the vote last time.

This riding has been Liberal since at least 1996 and before that Social Credit.

John van Dongen will not be in trouble in his riding Abbotsford - Clayburn were his chief rival is Michael Nenn from the NDP.

The NDP are also rans Provincially in the Bible Belt (Fraser Valley Ridings)

I have put together a petition opposing the proposed bait ban. It is directed to Premier Gordon Campbell. Copies will also be sent to WLAP and some other key MLA's.  We have gathered about 200 signatures since we started circulating it last Saturday.

If interested it is in Fred's Custom Tackle, Chilliwack Dart and Tackle and Hub Sports.

Will attempt to get it in some Lower Mainland shops as well.
A update on this petition. It is going well and I have decided to hold sending them in as I thought I would wait to to see if there is a new minister for WLAP as will want to send him copies of the petition as well as Campbell. Maybe our MLA here in Chilliwack/Kent may get this portfolio and I can deliver them by hand.  :D :D

I am pleased to announce that my prediction on the post above this one came true today as Barry Penner was announced the cabinet minister in the new Environment Ministry.

After he gets settled it will be a 10 minute drive from home to deliver them. ;D ;D ;D Barry also has been a supporter of The CVRCC and has attended our cleanups. He knows the problems we have faced and I am sure we can count on him to toughen the litter act.
