Due to Popular Demand

Thanks to an intensive lobbying campaign by a certain individual, I'm pleased to endorse Brian Clow for the ever important VP Finance position of the Young Liberals of Canada. Brian's a great guy who will do good work and he has my vote.

  • Check out his website for full details: www.brianclow.ca

    1. Sarah Turnbull was the main lobbyist. She's very persistent.

    2. If you see Brian's platform on his website, you can see he has some good ideas. He wants to have the YLC fundraise for themselves so that they don't soak money away from the party. He also is commited to supporting the campus clubs and PTAs which I personally feel do more than the YLC.

    3. No, I don't know of any sex scandals.

  • As for what the YLC does, you can also check out their website or come to the youth session on Thursday to see what they do. They provide recruitement material for campus clubs, promote policies, and help recruit youth into the party.

  • I don't know. Everyone was free to run but I believe there was a slate put together so a lot of people may have been afraid to run against a slate thinking they would lose.

  • The youth have pushed for a lot of policies in the past so I think it's unfair to say they don't believe in anything. There have been vocal campaigns on a wide range of issues - for example, legalized marijuana and legalized prostitution at the last convention and over the years SSM, Kyoto, education, etc.

    As for the YLC itself, yes, I won't argue that a slate was put together and it likely would have been better to have lots of individuals run for the positions. But, c'est la vie in politics. I wouldn't at all be surprised if you yourself have run on a slate or two in your day FC. Many of the individuals on this slate have given a lot of time to the party.
