Like Alberta's Ralph Klein, Christy Clark has been a broadcaster, a populist, has ties to the federal Liberals, and won her party's leadership with almost no caucus support.
B.C. Conservative officials are hoping that Christy Clark's victory in the B.C. Liberal leadership contest will give their party a boost as it heads into its own leadership race.
Christy Clark's former rivals in the B.C. Liberal leadership race say they will support their new leader as she becomes the 35th premier of the province.
I encourage all BC Liberals to unite behind Premier Christy Clark and support her as we lead this Province and build momentum and support for the next election.
