Meeting of the Liberal-Conservative Club at Riverbank


Today is election day in New Brunswick. By the time we go to our beds tonight, we will have a new or returned premier. Who will it be? I am fairly certain it will be Mr. Brian Gallant of the Liberal Party, but I think it might be a close race. We shall see.

On March 29, 1911, three people (at least three who signed their names) met at Riverbank. Mr. Ken McLeod, Mr. Walter Murray and Mr. F E Wallace met for their Liberal -  Conservative  club meeting at the guest house of Uncle Billy and Aunt Maggie. Did Maggie serve tea and crumpets? 

Could we call that an oxymoron? Liberals and Conservatives having a club together? Sharing tea and crumpets and a laugh before getting down to business? No mud slinging? 

Could it be? Only in the past, I'd say.

(This entry is several pages away and I have not yet researched who these gentlemen are. I assume F E Wallace was male as this happened in 1910.)
