Jim Shepard of Concerned Citizens of BC was the speaker on November 13th.
Jim Shepard, who was paid only $1 a year as Premiere Clark’s economic advisor before he resigned earlier this year to chair the group, Concerned Citizens for British Columbia. Jim is the former Finning and Canfor CEO. He says as a former CEO he has had an excellent opportunity to evaluate Christy Clark’s Executive performance. “I observed Christy Clark to be a very strong leader. I observed her to have strong business management skills, I saw that by sitting through numerous meetings with foreign ministers and numerous CEO’s of major corporations, but when I looked at what was going on in the media, there is this different picture being painted of her.”
He said that Concerned Citizens for British Columbia describes itself as concerned citizens who promote and support free enterprise, sound public policy, and good jobs for British Columbians.
“What we’re talking about here is the free-enterprise coalition,” Shepard said, pointing out that the coalition existed between the BC Liberals and BC Conservatives in the past and also through the now defunct Social Credit party.
He called on BC Conservatives, who he says are “unhappy Liberals,” to “come back into the fold and not split the free enterprise vote.
To help with this campaign, Concerned Citizens has acquired a former Barack Obama campaign team member, Dave Godsall, a social media consultant.
