Thank You!

I would like to thank all of you who attended the recent nomination meeting for Vancouver-Fraserview. It was heartening to see such an excellent turnout on a Sunday afternoon.

I would like to thank George Chow for the time and energy he put into his campaign, and I wish him well in his future endeavours. I know that he will continue to promote progressive values.

I am honoured to have been selected as our next BC NDP candidate in Vancouver-Fraserview. I will use this position to continue my work to advance the ideals and policies of the BC NDP within our community and our province.

I look forward to working with you all as together we continue the exciting work of the BC NDP and look forward to our upcoming 50th Anniversary Convention in December, the selection of our new federal leader, and the provincical election in 2013, and much else.

Bill Tieleman: Why I support Gabriel Yiu for the BC NDP nomination in Vancouver-Fraserview riding on Sunday November 6

(billtieleman.blogspot.com) "Gabriel Yiu has been an incredible activist in his community and home riding of Vancouver-Fraserview. His work with me, Bill Vander Zalm, Chris Delaney and thousands of other activists for the amazing success of the Fight HST citizens Initiative campaign and referendum to extinguish the HST has been remarkable.

"If Gabriel had done nothing else, I would be supporting him for the nomination. But he has done far more than that. Gabriel has been the voice of the NDP in the Chinese-Canadian community for many years - even when it was a very difficult time in the early period of the BC Liberal government of ex-Premier Gordon Campbell."

Glen Clark endorses Gabriel's candidacy

"Gabriel has worked hard, and to great effect, to build support for the NDP among new Canadians from Asia as well as among established members of the Chinese community. He has been a reliable supporter of the NDP cause for many years, both in good times and difficult times. Above all, I know he'll be a strong voice for us in Vancouver-Fraserview and a tremendous asset to the next NDP government of BC. He has my full support"

Glen Clark, Former Premier of BC
