I admire John Van Dongen. Leaving the Liberals was not an easy decision for him but an obvious one.
As Member of Parliament for Abbotsford for 13 years I had many occasions to work with John and was always pleased with his honesty and forthright character and in his desire to improve Abbotsford.
It is more and more obvious that the B.C. Liberals time has expired and that panic politics are setting in.
Bad decisions, caucus disunity and lack of leadership are common examples of the sinking ship. It is similar to the last months of the Social Credit and NDP governments. Thanks to John and many other former B.C. Liberals, the Conservative Party is rising quickly and will be B.C.’s government at some point.
Hopefully, that will be sooner than later, but it is up to all of us to get on board.
