“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

Andrew Wilkinson, along with many of his fellow provincial LIBERAL members, are continually shelling out wads of CASH not to federal Conservatives, but instead to the Federal LIBERAL Party


So, the Federal Conservative EDA for Nanaimo Ladysmith, led by President Mark MacDonald, has felt it necessary to disavow themselves from the ONLY TRUE provincial Conservative Party.  And, WONDER OF WONDERS ... he has seen fit to drag out the age-old crap about splitting the vote.  What a load of hog-wash!! 

Must I once again remind Federal Conservatives, that seem happy to get in bed with provincial LIBERALS, that there is NO SUCH THING as a split vote. 

A vote, is a vote ... and it SHOULD BE EARNED!


Desperation?  The only non-socialist party? bcLIBERALS are an amalgamation of federal LIBERALS and federal Conservatives?   

Mark MacDonald, you do a GREAT disservice to the people of BC with your words that are little more than garbage.

Let me also say this to any federal Conservative party member.  "You should be very concerned that many in leadership roles are asking you to support a provincial party, the bc LIBERALS".

BC Liberals are a party whose leader Andrew Wilkinson, along with many of his provincial LIBERAL members, are continually shelling out wads of CASH, but not to federal Conservatives, instead it goes to the Federal LIBERAL Party.

Is that what you really want? 

Let me ask you as a federal Conservative, “Does it make any sense that MacDonald would ask you to support a party, whose federal counterparts are hell bent on ensuring the Conservative Party of Canada is never again in the role of government?”.

I find it difficult not to have anything but contempt for MacDonald, and any of his fellow EDA executive, that would agree with the statement he released today. 

It is wrong --- seriously wrong – for MacDonald to call on federal conservatives to fund, back, and support a provincial party that has a multitude of its members, including its leader, all in support of the Justin Trudeau Liberals.

That should be something that all makes federal Conservatives gag!

    “...and that’s why the federal Conservative party chooses to not take an active role in B.C. politics.” If this is what Mark MacDonald says, while supporting Liberals and carbon taxes, then he should resign as EDA President. He is speaking out of both sides of his mouth and being a complete and utter embarrassment to the Conservative Party of Canada. MacDonald is free to support carbon taxes and a BC Liberal Leader who donates to the Justin Trudeau Liberals, but he should find the integrity to stay focused on federal politics rather than dividing Conservatives.

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

Baldrey: 2024 meets 1991? How B.C. election history could repeat itself (Times Colonist)

NOTE ... not the original image from Keith Baldrey's op/ed 1991 BC general election -- Wikipedia   A veteran NDP cabinet minister stopped me in the legislature hallway last week and revealed what he thinks is the biggest vulnerability facing his government in the fall provincial election. It’s not housing, health care, affordability or any of the other hot button issues identified by pollsters. "I think we are way too complacent,” he told me. “Too many people on our side think winning elections are easy.” He referenced the 1991 election campaign as something that could repeat itself. What was supposed to be an easy NDP victory then almost turned into an upset win for the fledgling BC Liberal Party. Indeed, the parallels between that campaign and the coming fall contest are striking ... CLICK HERE for the full story
