George Abbott isn't ready to give up provincial politics just yet. The MLA for Shuswap and Health Minister has confirmed he'll run in the next provincial election a year from now. The former berry farmer and political science instructor from Sicamous has held the Shuswap riding since 1996. "The reasons I made the decision (to run again) are probably the same reasons that brought me into politics many years ago. I think I have something to offer as a representative. I'm excited about trying to make the Shuswap and BC a better place." Premier Gordon Campbell had asked all Liberal MLA's for their election plans before the end of this month. Abbott is refusing to publicly acknowledge a reported dispute with the premier in caucus.

If his efforts have been to make the Shuswap a better place-he has failed totally. The rest of the north okanagan is no better on a/c of his efforts,but unless he is defeated, students taking political science will be way ahead(although they may not learn how to bob their heads when they talk with forked tongues!
If Darryl Stinson is on the ballot Abbott can say goodbye. He has not even put his toe in the shoe Darryl left for him to fill.
Tell him to go back to his Mum's stawberry farm in Sicamous-he can not do as much harm there except let the birds peck at the berries.
