Yesterday evening we actually went out for the first time since we got home three weeks ago. John Horgan, leader of the BC New Democratic Party and the next premier of the Province was here and the local NDP was holding a $100 per plate reception / fundraiser with him at the Campbell River Museum. It is a tax deductible political donation that we would have made anyway so we decided to go and catch up with some old friends. It was a small gathering of 60 or so activists and Norma and I got our share of time with John as he and Norma are old friends from her time working in Victoria.
The BC election is not until May 9, 2017 but the campaign has already started with the main parties, the Liberals and the NDP staking out their positions on important issues like energy and pipelines. We are hopeful / confident that we will prevail next May.
Tax deductible political donation?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun event with like-minded people.
Of the $100 we paid, they calculate that $25 was to pay for the food and beer/wine so the $75 balance is a tax deductible political deduction. Live Canada!
DeleteWanted to say thanks for telling us about Dazzos in Wikieup. Stayed there last night.
