If the B.C Liberals want a candidate who can follow in the footsteps of the departing Kevin Krueger, that is, if they want someone as fervently loyal to the party, as staunchly convinced the NDP is a political disaster waiting to plunge the province into economic ruin, they need look no further than Todd Stone.
On the eve of Premier Christy Clark's trip into town to announce good things for RIH, Stone was announcing he wants to succeed Krueger. Aside from keeping the NDP out of office, he cited RIH as a priority.
As MLA, Stone would be, perhaps, more measured than the famously bombastic Krueger, but they share a similar disdain for the left. He is a true Liberal blueblood, a purebred Campbellite, loyal to the party since his high school days more than 20 years ago.
