“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

Many will also say that his claim to fame should be ... 'that he Actually Cares.'



Mark Thompson, a father of four, and three term ( 1985 to 1994) Saskatoon City Councillor, will be carrying the BC Conservative banner, forthe riding of Kelowna West.

Kelowna-West BC Conservative
Party candidate Mark Thompson
Since leaving Saskatoon, Mark has resided in BC for the past two decades.  And "YES", Mark Thompson's name will sound familiar to many.

He ran for the BC Conservative Party, in the riding of Kelowna Mission, in the 2009 provincial election campaign.  In that campaign, Mark placed a respectable third, out of six candidates, and garnered over 2,300 votes (11.82%).

Says Mark, regarding his business acumen and skills, "Clients consider me to be different than your “typical consultant” as I have a very unique perspective of providing advice that comes from real experience as a business owner, investor, team leader, policy analyst and speaker. I assist clients effectively analyze their current situation with a focus on what needs to change to win in the future."

That alone makes Mark one of the best choices for voters in the riding, and Scott Anderson, interim Party Leader says of him, "Mark has a long history with the BC Conservatives and has served in various roles including former Deputy Leader of the party. He is a commonsense conservative, a forward thinker, and an excellent communicator."

Anderson went on to say, "The citizens of Kelowna West deserve better and they should demand better.  In Mark they will find an accomplished individual and a seasoned politician, and I can't think of anyone better able to present our common sense platform to the citizens of West Kelowna."

As a resident of Kelowna, Thompson has also served his community as Vice Chair of the City of Kelowna Planning Commission. 

Mark has a passion for public policy that treats citizens fairly. He promotes Health Education and Justice as the fundamental pillars of a fair and just society.

What do others say of Mark? 

Many will say he knows how to think outside the box ... that he has a wealth of knowledge on how to develop better public policy ... and many will also say that his claim to fame should be, 'that he Actually Cares.'

Resident of Kelowna-West will cast their votes on February 14th, following the resignation of former BC Liberal Party Leader, and MLA, Christy Clark.  Clark's BC Liberals lost power in May's general election, and she abandoned residents, shortly after stating to them, she would be staying on.

GORDON F. D. WILSON: When The Trick Masquerades as The Treat

Thirty-seven years ago, Halloween 1987, I became the leader of the BC Liberal Party.   British Columbia was badly polarized. Social Credit held one side and the NDP the other. It had been twelve years, 1975, since Liberal MLAs Garde Gardom, Pat McGeer, and Alan Williams had walked away from their party to join Social Credit, one year after the lone Progressive Conservative MLA Hugh Curtis had abandoned his party to sit with Bill Bennett, the son and heir apparent to long-serving BC Premier, WAC Bennett.   An unwritten agreement by the biggest Canadian political shareholders, the federal Liberals and Conservatives, decided that if British Columbia was to remain a lucrative franchise from a revenue perspective, they couldn’t risk splitting the electoral vote and electing the real enemy, the NDP, so no resources would be used to finance either a Liberal or Conservative party provincially.   “There are two sides to every street,” I was told by a very prominent Canadian businessman who cont

FORSETH: As a BC Conservative member, and campaign worker, I will again state that the fact these errors were found -- AND brought to light BY Elections BC -- shows the system IS working

Sadly, two and a half weeks after the BC provincial election campaign, those who want to undermine our political process are still at.  PLUS, we also have one who doesn’t even live in our country, never mind our province. I speak of the buffoon running for President of the United States, who has poisoned the well when it comes to faith in the electoral process. Just today alone, comments such as the following, were being made of posts that I shared online: ... all the votes they keep finding has just favoured NDP on in all critical ridings and soon they will flip another riding in favour of NDP, Come on. ... Elections BC has ridiculed British Columbians, and I no longer have confidence or trust in their process and competence regarding the results Then there are others online, with comments like these – who are claiming fraud in the October 19th election: ... Who is the oversight for Elections BC? They should be investigated for election fraud! ... Fraudulent election ... should be red

Rob Shaw: Eby should be worried why mudslinging missed the mark in B.C. election

  Why did a BC NDP election campaign overwhelmingly focused on attacking the character of the BC Conservatives fail to prevent a blue wave that came within 27 votes of toppling the governing party? Partly because voters didn’t much care for, or about, all the New Democrat mudslinging. They were just hopping mad about some very specific issues ... CLICK HERE for the full story
