After just one term in office, residents of Kelowna-Lake Country have voted former MP Stephen Fuhr off the island.
含羞草研究社淎s they say, the tribe has spoken,含羞草研究社� said Fuhr in a consolation speech at BNA on Monday night.
含羞草研究社淭he good news is I started the journey with 40 friends and I have a lot more of them now and we have a Liberal government at the end of the day.含羞草研究社�
But, what含羞草研究社檚 next for the man that shocked the polls in 2015 by unseating the incumbent 含羞草研究社� and heavily favoured 含羞草研究社� Conservative candidate Ron Cannan, isn含羞草研究社檛 all that surprising.
含羞草研究社淎 nap?含羞草研究社� he quipped.
含羞草研究社淚含羞草研究社檝e obviously got to get back to Ottawa and roll up my apartment; wind down my office.含羞草研究社�
And it含羞草研究社檚 that office that had Fuhr nearly in tears through the night.
含羞草研究社淭hat staff needs to stay at that office,含羞草研究社� he said, adding that he kept Cannan含羞草研究社檚 staff on when he got the job. 含羞草研究社淚t was a big help to me. I含羞草研究社檇 recommend that Tracy really consider keeping them if they含羞草研究社檇 like to stay and they can get her all up and running.含羞草研究社�

When asked if he would make another political endeavour, Fuhr含羞草研究社檚 answer was succinct: 含羞草研究社淚 don含羞草研究社檛 know.含羞草研究社�
含羞草研究社淚t might be a little early for me to answer that question,含羞草研究社� Fuhr said as the final results still poured in on the bar含羞草研究社檚 TV screens.
含羞草研究社淚 don含羞草研究社檛 know what the future holds for me. I think I can add value. I含羞草研究社檓 not ready to throw in the towel on adding value to something.
含羞草研究社淲hether that含羞草研究社檚 politics? I含羞草研究社檓 not sure if there含羞草研究社檚 an opportunity there or not.含羞草研究社�
While the former MP doesn含羞草研究社檛 have a firm grasp on what his future looks like just yet, he does know where he含羞草研究社檒l be.
含羞草研究社淚含羞草研究社檓 staying here. I love it here,含羞草研究社� said Fuhr.
含羞草研究社淚含羞草研究社檝e been trying to get back here for 20 odd years when I was in the military, just waiting for the day I was going to retire and move back here to B.C. I don含羞草研究社檛 plan on going anywhere.含羞草研究社�
