A topsy-turvy week of politics
KAMLOOPS — It should come as no surprise that, when politicians get together, they talk about politics.
They also talk about the weather, the spouse and kids, their golf games, and hockey, but politics is always at the top of the list.
So when 2,000 civic politicians met in Vancouver this past week, along with a couple of hundred provincial politicians, pretty much every possible nuance of politics and current political issues came up during workshops, policy sessions, luncheons, a big trade show, hallway chitchat, and the ubiquitous hosted receptions.
It was the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.
