Talk:Cariboo (provincial electoral district)

Untitled
Just wondering: d'you think there's any connection between the Jeremie Louis LeBourdais cited as a Green then independent candidate in Cariboo in 1983/1986, and this Jerry Le Bourdais? Ground Zero | t 00:11, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

His father. Jeremie's pretty high profile in the Cariboo just because of his old man, but he's also the diehard Marxist-Leninist founded of the Cariboo Organic Commune, aka the Cariboo Communist Party, and that bunch came wholesale into the Green Party in '83. I dropped in on them; they ran an old roadhouse (old wagon/stables on the edge of town, converted to small housing) that was a drop-in centre for Williams Lake street people; food, they could drink, play guitar or fiddle, do whatever they wanted; they wouldn't go the "real" shelters because they weren't allowed to have fun there. The Commies let them have their booze and drink it too.

The COC is part of a tradition in the Cariboo of ranchers using their land to house exiles from the city; drying-out farms for junkies and such. The COC are part of that, and maybe the prototype. Jeremie was, they say, a chip off the old block; old man Le Bourdais was one of the grand old men of Cariboo ranching earlier in the century.Skookum1 05:21, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
