MLA a no-show for his own nomination

I’m guessing Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger received a very important text message today, wherever he is. The gist of the message would have been that he is now officially the Liberal candidate for South Kamloops riding in next May’s provincial election.

Local Liberals held their nomination meeting last night, and Krueger is officially the man. Hardly a surprise. Krueger, though, wasn’t there. He’s out of the country on vacation.

True, he’s always had a lock on the nomination, just as Terry Lake — having been officially endorsed by Premier Gordon Campbell — was never going to have any opposition for the nomination in Kamloops North.

But, gee, wouldn’t you think it would be respectful to put off your vacation long enough to show up at your own nomination meeting (at least Lake was there last night)? Just asking.
