Tributes for the late American president Gerald Ford were barely over when news broke that distinguished political scientist Seymour Martin Lipset passed away on December 31 at the age of 84.
AllanWarnke, a Malaspina University-College political science professor, served as the provincial Liberal MLA for Richmond-Steveston between 1991 and 1996.
AllanWarnke, a former Liberal MLA who messily split with the party in 1996, says that Campbell has demanded absolute loyalty from MLAs ever since he became leader in 1993.
Warnke, who is now a professor of political science at Malaspina University-College in Nanaimo, broke with the Liberals when he learned that Campbell wanted Geoff Plant to run in Warnke's Richmond-Steveston riding in the 1996 election.
AllanWarnke thought he had a decent chance to win as an independent in 1996, but he got murdered by Geoff Plant.

Warnke uses the term "witchcraft" interchangeably with "satanism" from this point on, mixing in snippets of general information relating to Wicca to give the impression that these two religions are one in the same.
Warnke is probably trying to draw a parallel between his three levels and the three levels of initiation found in the average Wiccan tradition, but Warnke's levels are completely separate from one another, members of higher levels rarely deigning to visit those lower down except on business.
Warnke goes on to claim that Hitler, Nero, the Borgias, Stalin, Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan B. Sirhan were all puppets of demons that possessed them.

The provincial Liberals closed the final chapter in their bitter feud with MLA AllanWarnke by electing a new member to take his place.
Warnke has earlier stated that he disliked how the party had shifted too far to the right under leader Gordon Campbell.
Meanwhile, Warnke, who has since declared he will run as an independent in his old riding, said Monday that the party wanted Plant and "threw everything they have" behind him.
Warnke quit the party after much recent public fighting over a nomination meeting that he believed was geared to have him ousted in favor of newcomer Geoff Plant.
Warnke said Plant was transplanted by party brass because of his alleged personal ties to party leader Gordon Campbell.
AllanWarnke is a "sore loser" who never asked for help, says his former boss, B.C. Liberal Party leader Gordon Campbell.
Warnke fut député libéral pour la circonscription de Richmond-Steveston de 1991 à 1996.
Bref, M. Warnke a senti qu’on était en train de lui montrer la porte et il n’a pas voulu se laisser faire.
Il était intéressant de noter que l’heureux élu qui prit la place de M. Warnke à titre de député libéral pour le comté de Richmond-Steveston, l’avocat Geoff Plant, est devenu le procureur général de la Colombie-Britannique dans le gouvernement Campbell, de mai 2001 jusqu’à sa retraite de la vie politique, en mai 2005.

AllanWarnke, a former Liberal MLA, said typically they would sweep in with an overwhelming number of new members.
He said the party turned a blind eye to this kind of political swarming, but he thought it was wrong.He said Basi's Boys mostly worked in ridings around Victoria, but they were active provincially and helped the party's soaring membership numbers at the federal level during the drive to build support for Mr.
Warnke said, sounding like the unnamed Liberal organizer who felt the key to the case was the money trail."There is cash around that had to cover those memberships.
Warnke's views were echoed by Jeremy Dalton, B.C. Liberal MLA for West VancouverCapilano from 1991 to 2001.
Warnke adds that the federal party has been warned of coming trouble for years.
Warnke said the Young Liberals became involved in several provincial Liberal ridings to unseat incumbent MLAs, including himself, former Chilliwack MLA Bob Chisholm, and former Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Ken Jones.
Former Liberal MLA AllanWarnke says he might file a lawsuit to stop the Charter, because only the federal government, by amending the Constitution, can create a new order of government.
It begins, "Recognizing that local government is an independent, responsible and accountable order of government within its jurisdiction." The NDP's Act, which Warnke calls "the first phase of the Community Charter," passed the House in two hours in the fall of 1999 with no debate, because the Liberals liked its thrust.
Warnke fears it may be politically, if not legally, impossible for any future government to repeal the Charter, because such powers are easy to grant but harder to take back.

To cut corners, former MLA and current Canadian Action Party candidate AllanWarnke will reuse old campaign signs and do a lot of door knocking throughout this campaign.
That financial fact is not lost on AllanWarnke, the Canadian Action Party candidate for Richmond.
He hopes voters will be looking towards casting their vote in support of a local candidate as opposed to marking their ballots with a major party in mind.
Garnering just one per cent of the local vote has left AllanWarnke wondering if his party's days are numbered.
When all was said and done Monday night, however, Warnke garnered just 376 votes.
The party's overriding concern is with the revision of Canada's current monetary policy, the root from which all increased social spending stems, its disciples believe.
Commissioned by the Honourable Allan Williams, Minister of Skills, Development And Labour, this report focused on the benefits provided under the Act and their financing, the financial status of the WCB, and the presentation of its annual financial statements.
The commissioners concluded that current benefits (as of 1976) were equal to or better than most plans in the US and Canada, but that more open financial disclosure of actuarial liability was needed.
Authorized by the Honourable Allan Williams, Minister of Labour, this study reviewed the relationship of the WCB to the provincial government, the composition, size, and responsibilities of the Board of Commissioners, and the management and administrative structure and practices of the WCB.
This simply isn't good enough for someone running for Parliament, a job that pays $140,000 per year.
If you want to place a protest vote, former Liberal MLA AllanWarnke is running for the Canadian Action Party.
The party wants to reinvigorate the Bank of Canada and rip up international treaties--two issues that didn't get a lot of attention from Warnke while he was Liberal MLA for Richmond-Steveston.

In my opinion, it is Gordon Campbell’s legal challenge to the treaty process which is the most demoralizing to the business leaders of British Columbia.
AllanWarnke, Gordon Campbell’s original Aboriginal critic has been very vocal in his protestations of the present Provincial Liberal policy regarding the NISGA’A settlement.
It is sort of silly that his well thought out position is being ignored.

Nielsen opted not to seek re-election, and Vander Zalm and running-mate Nick Loenen easily topped the Richmond polls.
Redistribution created three new Richmond ridings in 1991, all of which were won by Liberals: Linda Reid captured Richmond East; Doug Symons prevailed in Richmond Centre; and AllanWarnke was victorious in Richmond-Steveston.
The Liberals won all three seats again in 1996 - as Reid and Symons were re-elected, and Geoff Plant succeeded Warnke - and once more in 2001 - when Reid and Plant won re-election, and Greg Halsey-Brandt took over from Symons.
