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.

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."
