We talked about the different "cultures" between the two parties and they felt the same way I had when I was a Tory. A lot of folks in the NB PC Party seem to be bitter and fixated on minor issues, like they've got a chip on their shoulder. They felt that way too.
Also one of the first things they mentioned was how different of a leader Shawn Graham is. Joan said you really feel a part of a team and are listened to and consulted where under Lord it was as though they were pests. And she was even a minister!

you should get an interview with Graham and blog it -- would be cool. The first New Brunswick Premier to do a blog-interview :)
I'm with the above. I much enjoyed the one on one interviews posted by Calgary Grit two summers ago.
As for being a chip on their shoulder, I think it is more like a bunch of lightweights devoid of any clear conservative policy thought. Which is why I will be interested to see the resolutions which come out of your convention this weekend. That will tell the real story betwen the two parties.
For the record, I like Percy Mockler as he seems to think like a conservative (see the private members bills), but I wasn't impressed when he and the rest of the braintrust jumped on the Belinda bandwagon a few yrs. back. Although, she was paying big $$$ compared to the other camps.
Wow..Joan MacAlpine a "pest"...who'd thunk it??????
