Joining with dormant parties can be fun, friends! Pass the ginger ale and get the party started.

[W.A.C. Bennett @WACBennett]

It was just a little sneeze from up here, friends. 🤧😤

I bought this 1966 edition of @TIME with WAC Bennett on the cover. #bcpoli

[W.A.C. Bennett @WACBennett]

@John68Richmond @VaughnPalmer Indeed, friend!

As a boy on the farm in New Brunswick, I learned that if you scare men or horses with crises, you'll never get them in the barn.

Looks more like W.A.C. Bennett than Nixon.

[W.A.C. Bennett @WACBennett]

I don't read the news, I make the news, friends.

[W.A.C. Bennett @WACBennett]

@PMBowell It was nice, my friend.
'69 was also the year I won my 7th General Election in the Province of British Columbia!

[W.A.C. Bennett @WACBennett]

69 years of legacy and counting, my friends!

New Socred campaign ephemera to add to the collection #bcpoli

[Joseph Planta @Planta]

Some #bcpoli ephemera from the 1963 election featuring WAC Bennett.

[W.A.C. Bennett @WACBennett]

Can I get a show of hands here, friends?

[Joseph Planta @Planta]

Is there anybody still alive that served in the cabinet of W.A.C. Bennett? #bcpoli

[Keith Baldrey @keithbaldrey]

(Trying this again after a typo that @DaveObeeTC caught!)
Without a doubt top 2 BC premiers were 1. WAC Bennett 2. Dave Barrett. I'd place Bill Bennett in third, Duff Pattullo in 4th (or vice versa). Free for all for fifth. Oliver? Campbell? Harcourt? #bcpoli

[W.A.C. Bennett @WACBennett]

What we'll need in this province, friends, is a good Kelowna hardware merchant with a vision.

[W.A.C. Bennett @WACBennett]

@Bradinator @j_mcelroy Well my friend, they did call me Prime Minister of British Columbia from time to time.

[W.A.C. Bennett @WACBennett]

May the hordes never breach these gates, friends!

[W.A.C. Bennett @WACBennett]

Friends, we need more "Wacky" times in the Province of British Columbia. I also call them our golden age.

[W.A.C. Bennett @WACBennett]

Full of only ginger ale I assure you, friends.
