Modeling Journey

It is no secret that Jason Kenney worked extremely hard over the past few years to find a way to reach out to new conservative supporters within Canada's cultural communities. Yesterday, Jason Kenney held a great seminar along with Alice Wong and Bob Dechert. Obviously in the last election, it is quite clear that the Conservative Party made huge gains in ridings with large multicultural populations. After talking about strategies on how we can continue to improve our outreach efforts, an opportunity was given to those who wanted to share best practices or who had tips on how we can imporve. The session was well attended and was taken seriously by delegates. John Tory was also in attendance and that was great to see. Jason Kenney just got promoted to minister of Citizenship and Immigration. The promotion was very well deserved as he played a big role in our success particularly in the GTA and around Vancouver. I think these strategies will be crucial to getting a majority next time. Ridings in Vancouver, Richmond Hill, Brampton, Mississauga and even Toronto itself could be big gains next time. Even at this convention I can see a far more diverse crowd than past events. That is great news for the party.
