“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

CAROLINE ELLIOTT: We're being governed by a highly ideological government that is far removed from the values of everyday British Columbians

Last night I, along with 40 or so others, had the opportunity to hear from BC Conservative leadership candidate Caroline Elliott.  For those who have yet to hear her speak, this is what she had to say: Thank you everyone for being here. I know you have a million other things you could be doing with your evening and the fact that you're here, means that you understand the situation this province is in, and how crucial this moment actually is, because it truly is a crucial moment in our province’s history. Look, I'm doing this for a very simple reason. I'm a lifelong, born and raised British Columbia, and I have two small kids. They're six years old and eight years old, so they're pretty little still.  I look at them and I want them to reach the point that I'm at in my life and say, ‘ I'm a lifelong British Columbian and there's nowhere else I'd rather be .’, just as I do today. And my worry is that they will find themselves like one of the 70,000 Br...

IAIN BLACK: History’s shown us that if you can draw people in on those basics, then you're going to win. If we don't, we'll lose.

How blue are you? Light blue? Royal blue? How do you answer that” IAIN:   Great question. I love the setup because it tells me where you stand because sometimes you get asked that question and you're like, okay, which side of this issue is this person on, right? So, thank you for telling me at least kind of you're thinking on it. We are violently in agreement. I very much disagree with all purity tests because I think it's artificial and I think most of the people who are going down that path are new to being involved in politics.   I kind of don't understand why they sudden...

Out of touch NDP prioritizes perks over people in unprecedented financial times

According to NDP Finance Minister, Brenda Bailey “we are in unprecedented financial times,” but David Eby’s NDP government is still spending tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on gift cards and near-cash awards for government employees.   According to a report by Global News, the government has spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on gift cards for public servants, including some earning well over $100,000 per year. When confronted, Premier David Eby defended the spending, claiming these employees are “taking below average pay for their qualification” and deserve the rewards. The Official Opposition is calling on the NDP government to immediately end the taxpayer-funded gift card program and provide a full public accounting of all related spending. “At a time when families are losing individualized autism funding, and seniors are being told there’s no money, this government is handing out taxpayer-funded gift cards to six-figure public employees,” said Int...
