“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

LESLYN LEWIS – The Experience Needed To Win

Canadians are tired of politics as usual. Members of the Conservative Party of Canada are no exception.

Recently the Erin O’Toole Campaign has sent out messages under the names of other people to call my experience into question.

I plan to do politics differently. My focus is not on trying to point out the shortcomings of others. Instead, my campaign focuses on what I am offering members in terms of policy, and uniting the Party.

Conservatives only win when we are united, and I will always do my best to walk the talk when it comes to Party unity.

But when one of the other candidates publicly raises concerns about me that I disagree with, I believe it’s fair to respond. Here’s why I believe I have the experience needed to win the next election:

  • Economic recovery is going to be at the centre of any government agenda as we work to rebuild post-COVID. As someone who has run her own business for almost 20 years, I understand the needs of business owners who will be key to the recovery.
  • I have international business experience. I want to use these skills to help open up new markets for Canadian businesses around the world. In particular, I want to get Canadian oil and gas on the market.
  • I have life experience growing up in a family that chose to make Canada our home. I can relate to the challenges new Canadians face, and help welcome them into our voter coalition.
  • As a political outsider, I’m also uniquely placed to oversee a full review of CPC HQ operations, which is important to many of our members.


Politics in Canada are changing. We can see that with the overwhelming momentum that we are experiencing on my campaign.

With more than 13,000 people donating over $1.5 million dollars so far, you can see that there is grassroots excitement for a message of courage, compassion and common sense.

I hope you’ll be a part of the movement!

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
