“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon



EARLY YESTERDAY, I the following information out by email to several individuals -- letting them know we (the BC Conservatives) had every intention of being a viable alternative in the next provincial election in BC. I also posted a much briefer edit on Social media (Facebook and Twitter).  Here is the text of the email which was sent:

Greetings friends ...

I would like to let you know, if you are unaware, that just a few short months ago I rejoined and became a member of the BC Conservative Party.  Additionally, I attended a very successful AGM which was held a few weeks back in Langley. 

I believe in small 'c' conservative ideals, and I believe that the well-being of our province will not happen with either our current GreeNDP government ... or with the Liberals, who are INDEED Capitol "L" Liberals in both name, and in governing style!

This email is to advise you that initial prep work is underway to restart the Kamloops North Thompson, and Kamloops South Thompson, BC Conservation Riding Associations -- as well as Fraser Nicola. This region has always been fertile ground for true conservatives, and I look forward to having your support.

I have requested that the party attempt to have Interim Leader Scott Anderson (long-time Board / Executive Member, and Vernon City Councillor) join us in the coming weeks to discuss the future ahead for OUR party, and our region.  Stay tuned for information on meeting dates coming in the near future!


Now, here are a couple of things I am asking of you:
  • Please email back to let me know that you, like me, wish to be a part of the BC Conservative moment, and build it into a force for the next election
  • Will you be able to offer a bit of time to assist in setting up initial meetings?
  • WILL YOU FORWARD THIS EMAIL on to friends you believe to be true Conservatives who are looking to find a home with a conservative movement in BC -- we need them, and 100's of others?
  • Everyone has talents, skills, experience that can be of amazing assistance in helping us grow -- it DOES NOT have to be political.  YES, I am asking for you to volunteer some time (a little or a lot, it does not matter -- only that you do if you are able)

The time is now, and I hope you will respond in a positive way to this call to action!


Sincerely,
Alan Forseth

BC Conservative Party Regional Director for Kamloops
North and South Thompson and Fraser / Nicola ridings

"Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon." ~~ Paul Brandt


Canadian country music singer Paul Brandt has it right, and what he says is a fitting quote to have in my signature, when it comes restarting things in the Kamloops, and Fraser Nicola, regions ... " Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon."

There's a job to be done, and I look forward to many hands joining in the task!

What thoughts do you have on the matter?  The floors yours, and I'd love to hear from you!

In Kamloops, I'm Alan Forseth.

    Best wishes Alan but you'll be wasting your time if ....

    1. The same old federal Conservatives dominate the board of directors and impose a far-right platform that leaves the centre solely to the anything-to-stop-the-NDP so-called Liberals

    2. You appeal only or mainly to "true" Conservatives; there are not enough of them to elect a dog-catcher, let alone an MLA, let alone 50 of them!

    Take a lesson from WAC Bennett - he built a big tent, developed a populist platform and governed for 20 years.

    Focus on problems that need to be solved then develop new solutions to do so.

    I had a sit down with Scott Anderson, last week, and I am getting a positive vibe, too. I have agreed to come back and help

PEATS: I am writing with a critical concern regarding the imminent closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic, a vital healthcare facility in our community

The following is a copy of a letter sent to me, which was sent to BC’s Minister of Health Adrian Dix. It is with regards to the impending closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic in Dawson Creek.   Dear Minister,   I am writing to you today with a critical concern regarding the imminent closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic, a vital healthcare facility in our community. The closure, scheduled for the summer of 2024, is a result of the utterly burdensome terms and conditions imposed by the bureaucratic Northern Health. As a result, Dawson Creek stands to lose four doctors who have made this city their home, and who wish to continue serving the people of our community.   The impending closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic is a significant blow to our city. Not only will it result in the loss of highly qualified and dedicated healthcare professionals, but it will also deprive thousands of Dawson Creek residents of access to their primary physicians. At a time when healthcare se

RCMP gag order comes after BC NDP catch heat for diverted safe supply (Northern Beat)

In the wake of several high-profile police drug seizures of suspected safer supply that put the BC NDP government on the defensive last month, BC RCMP “E” division issued a gag order on detachments, directing them to run all communications on “hot button” public safety issues through headquarters in the lead-up to the provincial election. “It is very clear we are in a pre-election time period and the topic of ‘public safety’ is very much an issue that governments and voters are discussing,” writes a senior RCMP communications official in an email dated Mar. 11 in what appears to have gone out to all BC RCMP detachments . . . .

KRUGELL: BC NDP turns its attention from BC United to BC Conservatives

The BC NDP turning its attention, from BC United, to BC Conservatives was reported over the weekend from a variety of sources. It is the result of the surge in the BC Conservative's polling numbers and the subsequent collapse of BC United. The NDP has largely ignored the BC Conservatives, instead they opt to talk about issues directly or attack their old foes BC United. Practical politics says that parties closer to the centre tend to ultimately prevail over the long haul. They do wane but often make comebacks. A good example is the federal Liberals going from third party to government in 2015. Centrism has a lot of appeal on voting day. The NDP shifting its fire from United to Conservative is a reflection of reality. BC United did buy advertising online and radio over the last few months. Did that shift the polls back to them? Nope. The reality is today, the BC Conservatives are the party of the Opposition, and day by day the Conservatives are looking like a party not ready to fig
