“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

We are once again witnessing a government that does not listen to the people; saying it is, does not make it so


On the eve of tomorrows Annual General Meeting in Abbotsford, BC Conservatives say we are once again witnessing a government that does not listen to the people.

BC Conservative leader Trevor Bolin
“Simply saying it is, does not make it so”, BC Conservative leader Trevor Bolin stated, just before boarding a late afternoon plane out of the Peace River country, bound for Abbotsford.

“Our current NDP government, led by Premier John Horgan, must truly believe that they’re doing a great job because that it’s all we see in current press releases, and media stories”.

The Conservative leader continued, “This Premier promised consultation with local communities, and British Columbians, over hot topic items such as the Caribou habitat, and park areas, in Northern BC”.

“He went so far as to appoint former South Peace MLA Blair Lekstrom as a liaison in the Peace River area, to help in creating a Caribou rescue plan; then just three weeks ago Lekstrom publicly denounced the process, informing those he was appointed to represent, that none of his suggestions were recognized by the Premier”.

According to the BC Conservatives, a government media release today was filled with comments about public consultation, working with communities affected, and making this about benefits to British Columbians. 
 
“Here’s what they told us”, said Bolin.  “They said they had achieved an ‘historic agreement that strives to protect southern mountain caribou in northeastern B.C., while considering the social and economic well-being of communities and stakeholders in the region’”. 

Given the resignation of Lekstrom, and his recent comments, it appears that is not the case, as the BC Conservatives leader, Trevor Bolin, concluded with this statement;

“We are all British Columbians and we all deserve a Government that listens, cares, and acts for the best interest of its people”.

BC Conservatives will meet tomorrow in Abbotsford, for their Annual General Meeting.  It gets underway at 9am, at The Rancho, on Delair Road.

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
