Upbringing, student politics shaped Christy Clark’s views on B.C. politics, life
VANCOUVER — It was the lure of ice cream that first drew Christy Clark into politics.
As a child, the future premier of British Columbia would accompany her father as he knocked on doors around Burnaby during his several attempts for public office.
“He’d promise us ice cream,” Clark, 51, said in a recent interview.
“Hi, will you vote for my daddy?” she laughed, miming knocking on a door. “Who’s not going to vote for a candidate, or who’s at least not going to say something positive?”
