VICTORIA — Former cabinet minister Kevin Falcon launched his bid for the B.C. Liberal leadership this week by pledging to put the party through the name change game for the third time.
“I believe our renewal demands a new party name,” declared Falcon in a speech broadcast on his Facebook page Monday evening. The new name “will be decided upon in consultation with our membership,” he added.
Falcon says he’s spoken with “hundreds” of party members and found them receptive to having a provincial party “with no association by name” to any federal party. The change would proceed “if members are supportive and I think they will be,” the would-be party leader told Mike Smyth during on radio station CKNW Tuesday.
