A couple of weeks ago, Rich Coleman invited me to a barbecue out in his riding Langley way. Us kids used to ride out to Langley (Milner actually) to my uncle’s hard-scrabble farm in the back of his Model T pickup truck. Before seat belts were invented. Nowadays, it is mostly horse farms and split levels. The barbecue was on the horse farm of one of Rich’s neighbours.

Here are some pictures of Rich and his wife Michelle. A great couple. And a great Solicitor General. Former RCMP officer, and it shows.

Here’s what he has done for West Vancouver-Capilano, with encouragement from your MLA:

• Cracked down on the out-of-control dump trucks threatening our property and our lives.
• Made a major push into the PRIME police information network, so that crime data can be collected and disseminated across neighbouring jurisdictions on a real-time basis.
• Done a good job of encouraging excellent performance by ICBC.
• Managed a scandal-free gaming industry, with direct grants to charities on a widespread basis.
• Has always been there to help Ralph Sultan.
