A few weeks back I wrote a piece stating that we (small 'c'
conservatives) really had no choice, if we didn't want an NDP win in the next
election. Outside of having a very
strong Independent to vote for, or not voting at all, there was little choice
given our option but to vote for the BC Liberal candidate in our riding.
Personally since then, I really haven't changed my mind, however a
former political ally (John Crocock) from our BC Conservative days called to remind me that,
"The BC Action Party was formed to give British Columbia a positive choice"
From that conversation I offered him the chance to make his pitch
to you ... so in John's words, here is why he is asking for your support for
candidates they'll be running in the May Provincial General Election.
Right now, British Columbia only
has two choices, terrible, and, worse than terrible …
The BC Liberals can
unbelievably fleece the British Columbian’s population and get away with it
completely. All they have to say is, Well if you do not like what we do, you
will have the scary NDP that would be even worse than us. The BC Action Party
is planning to stop this unacceptable situation.
What the BC Action
Party wants to stop …
1) British Columbia’s mega projects, costing
many times more than comparable projects elsewhere.
2) Questionable sales
of British Columbia
assets, way below their market value.
3) Keeping volumes and
volumes of information to themselves that British Columbian’s have a right to
know.
4) Decisions upon
decisions made for friends of the Government, not for the best interest of
British Columbians.
We can mention just a few of these
that are sadly in these categories:
BC Rail ; Trying to
block the Burrard Street Bridge for Lulu Lemons ; The Port Mann Bridge
Cost/Tolls etc. ; The Vancouver Convention Center ; The future George Massey
replacement project ; Family Day scheduled a week before the rest of Canada ;
Dubious charges in the (Carbon Tax/MSP/ICBC Rates/Encorp Computer Fees) ;
Pressuring and rewarding corporations for party donations in many different
ways.
The above are just a
few of the unacceptable actions that the BC Liberals have and are doing to the
public. The BC Action Party says enough is enough … British Columbians should
not have to put up with all this. These actions are making British Columbia into a third world place
where the friends of the Present Government are getting away with a multitude
of atrocities at the expense of the pubic. The haves, are their friends, and
have-nots are everybody else in the province.
What the BC Action
Party Members believes …
The government of British Columbia must
listen to all British Columbians and must be accountable for its actions. It
must be a leader in pursuing innovation while maintaining the diversity of the
people.
The goal of making
government transparent is very important to us at The BC Action Party. This
falls in direct contrast to every other major political party in British Columbia,
since transparency could (and should) result in criticism, analysis and
ultimately judgment in the public forum, However, The BC Action Party welcomes
that, since all governing decisions should be made for the greater good of the
province.
The BC Action Party is
a grass roots party, and welcomes everybody, who are saying enough is enough,
we have to have a government that represents all of the people in British
Columbia not just a small circle of chosen people.
Please come and join
us and check out some of the positive actions we want to introduce to help make
our dream of having a responsible government to represent the people of British Columbia.

Till next time, I'm Alan Forseth in Kamloops.
Well it is about time that BC had a choice on the political spectrum. Now if they will just field 87 Candidates and become the alternative to the BC Liberals, they will most likely be the BEST choice for British Columbians!!!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the time is very short to be able to get the BC Action Party up to election speed. Can they vet enough competent candidates to fill all ridings? If the launch is not full on will it then just split the vote with Libs and give the NDP a walk-in?
