UNBC’s Young Liberals Do Ottawa

By Vince Yim

Worried about being ignored
by the Chretien Government
because we live in the far west
of Canada? Have no fear!
Enter the Young Liberals of
Canada, Generation X’s
answer to the Liberal Party.
Late October (from October
23rd to the 28th ), a small
group of Young Liberals from
UNBC went to Ottawa for the
Biannual Convention. Their
- purpose was to attend
workshops, learn more about
the Liberal Party, vote on
certain issues, take an active
role in the future of our
country...and have a good time
while they’re at it.

“It was an eye opening
experience,” said Young
Liberal member Craig

what we need, simply because
of all the alienation that many
British Columbians feel.
Despite this, the Liberals of
British Columbia made their
presence known. “B.C. had the
largest delegation per capita,”
said another member, Charles
Hogg when talking about the
Biannual Convention. “Prince
George also feels the most
alienation.”

This is also something of note,
as this ties in with many of the
Young Liberal’s objectives.

9 thru 13.

Being that Prince George feels
much alienation in Canada, it
is important that the Young
Liberals motivate people to
vote through media (such as
“Spotlight on UNBC”), various
meetings, and visiting other
locations such as schools.
Through this, they hope to gain
more exposure, as well as reach
the youth of Prince George.
“Liberals are about respecting
people’s rights,” Craig
commented in regards to
explaining what a Liberal is.
“We’re ‘mushy in the middle,’
in that we’re a bit more open
minded.”

Currently, the Young Liberals
have two objectives. One is to
raise the membership, as well
