This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

Mark Carney tells Jon Stewart the Liberal party has 'a chance' after Trudeau's resignation (CTV)


Days ahead of his expected Liberal leadership campaign launch, former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor Mark Carney says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's decision to step down boosts the party's chance in the next general election.

"I think it does give the Liberal party a chance," Carney said when asked directly by host Jon Stewart in an interview with "The Daily Show" on Monday night.

Absence of BC NDP Transportation Minister, and the MLA whose riding this issue falls within, demonstrates a continued lack of care and attention for rural BC

       BC Government photo More than 600 residents of Harrop and Glade, B.C. face the prospect of being cut off from essential services as a looming ferry strike threatens their livelihoods and well-being. Pete Davis, Conservative MLA for Kootenay Rockies is calling on the local NDP MLA for Kootenay Central and Minister of Rural Services, Brittny Anderson, to put rural communities first. “ This isn’t just about logistics; it’s about the people who depend on this ferry to access food, work, and critical services ,” Davis said. “ The residents of Harrop and Glade deserve leadership. Their local MLA and Minister must stand up for them and ensure their voices are heard .” Davis is urging the government to take swift action to bring both sides together and prioritize a resolution that avoids further disruption. “ It’s time for the government to lead, support rural communities, and secure a fair deal for everyone involved ,” Davis added.

FORSETH: We are expected to believe that, of their free-will, eighty-four percent of residents at Argyll Lodge chose to cast a ballot

Since late Thursday morning (01/09), much has been said about issues Conservative Party of BC leader John Rustad raised about possible irregularities in last Fall’s provincial election – and in particular, in the riding of Surrey – Guilford. I shared the story online, and one of the most concerning comments I received was a simple one-word response, “ Snore ”.

Irregularities in any riding, including those that benefit one candidate over another, should concern us. Our democracy is based on trust, and in this instance, that trust seems to be in question. I know post-election BC Conservative leader John Rustad indicated the party would take time to review possible election irregularities, and now, two and a half months later, issues have been brought forward that, at least to me, are indeed questionable. It is alleged that v...

CTV: Year-end interview with John Rustad on BC Conservatives' remarkable 2024

It’s been quite the year for BC Conservative Leader John Rustad – his party soaring from less than two per cent of the popular vote and no seats in the 2020 election to nearly winning this year’s election ... ... He insists he’ll support free votes by his members – and what sets his party apart is its willingness to allow such free speech. “That’s a big thing that you’ll see between us and the NDP – you will never see them say anything outside of their message box,” said Rustad. “And that’s not how I want to do politics. I actually think it’s OK to have differences, it's OK for people to disagree. But we do agree on the big things, the things that are important for the people of British Columbia"...
