New Federal Party Holds Vernon Meeting
An effort is underway to form a North Okanagan Shuswap association for Canada’s new right of centre federal party.
Former Conservative M-P Maxime Bernier from Quebec has formed the People’s Party of Canada, and plans to run a candidate in every riding next year.
Vernon resident Glen Walushka — a former director with the local Conservatives — along with former Tory nomination candidate Janet Green, are holding a meeting at the Village Green Hotel tonight at 6:30 to gauge the local interest.
“Originally we thought that Andrew Scheer would probably be the best candidate to keep the party together, but it’s turned out that the Conservative Party of Canada right now seems to be very very similar in almost all aspects to what the Liberals are doing current, and that’s not very good for our economy,” Walushka told Beach Radio News.
