BC

The Alberta election wizard who helped Premier Alison Redford beat back a right-wing challenge and win the provincial election this year is sharing his tricks with the British Columbia Liberals.

Stephen Carter is one of the key speakers today at the BC Liberal convention.

Carter helped Redford withstand a strong challenge from the Wildrose Party, which at one point was threatening to win the election.

Carter's address to delegates at the Liberal convention, which numbers about 1,000 people, is closed to the media.

The BC Liberals have faced serious challenges to their free enterprise coalition from the BC Conservatives, but the Liberals have been expressing more confidence lately as the provincial Tories spend time feuding among themselves.

Premier Christy Clark is set to address the convention Saturday afternoon.
