“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

This will be the year for all of us to build the vehicle that will lead, focus, and bring together the voices of British Columbians

I hope the past few weeks have been a wonderful time of welcoming family and friends for special gatherings ... enjoy festive dinners ... gift exchanges ... and wonderful holiday pastries and treats .

Now, we'll soon be entering the race to elect an MLA for the Kelowna Westside riding; and beginning a race to elect a new leader for the BC Conservatives.

And there's more that will require something of you.

The obvious things like people to take on roles in an executive for Kamloops North, Kamloops South, and Fraser Nicola will be needed ... so to will be dozens of volunteers ... individuals to raise funds for the needs of our constituencies ... people to make calls to members about events ... people to fill a candidate selection committee ... sign crews ... office workers ... and so many other positions will all need to be filled.

Any parties success will ONLY come through the efforts of people who come out to volunteer and help -- and those who also know and realize it takes donation$ (large and small on a REGULAR BASIS), if we hope to win riding's across the interior of BC where we have our greatest strength!

As I said prior to Christmas, we need to "Excite the right!"

HOWEVER, we also need to excite people who just want to have better government. One that listens to the people ... one that doesn't waste taxpayers resources ... one that looks beyond an election cycle, and instead to the future generations of British Columbians.

Those people will come from EVERY walk of life, and even as you read this, you know and realize I am speaking directly to you.

British Columbians are waiting for a party with policies of common sense.

BC Conservatives must prepare a message for our friends, family, co-workers, and neighbours. With that message, we will have the tools and resources needed to fight for every single vote.

And, we'll be able to show that we deserve those votes.

I for one am sick of the BC Liberal rhetoric that they are our only option. THEY ARE NOT ... and nothing, and I mean nothing, is further from the truth. If we listen to that message, and that is how we continue to vote, then we will always get (and deserve) the governments we have had.

We will have TOP DOWN -- TAX -- SPEND -- SELF CONGRATULATORY -- and EGOTISTICAL individuals ruling our province as they see fit -- without input from the grassroots people in our cities, towns, villages, and across rural and Northern BC.

We will also have governments that will pit one group against another, to keep us from looking too closely at what they are up to.

The Green Party is against any and all development no matter how sound or environmentally safe it is ... the NDP switch allegiances from labor, to environmentalists, to government union workers based on any given situation or issue ... and the BC Liberals? They will blow whatever direction the wind is going.

No matter how much they try to disagree -- how loudly they protest -- they are the farm-team of Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party of Canada. No amount of claims to the contrary hold water any more, and the BC Liberals themselves, have proven that!

A Liberal, is a Liberal, is a Liberal.

That is why each one of you will need to lift your support to the next level, and the next level above that if you are able. The candidates we run in the next provincial election will need your support. And here locally in Kamloops and the Fraser Nicola, we will also need your support.

There is no sugar coating that fact.

If you want candidates that have any chance of winning, we'll need you to help build our team!

As in my message many saw two weeks before we ended 2017, you should know what you will be supporting. Take a few minutes to review our position on current topics at:
http://www.bcconservative.ca/platform

We continue to get media coverage, more now than ever before, on news releases of importance to British Columbians. Check them out at http://www.bcconservative.ca/news

AND, most importantly of all, if you are not yet a member, I ask you to change that. Change it without further delay by going to

• 2018 will be the year the BC Conservative Party awakens from its' slumber, and roars to life with energy and vigour.

• 2018 will be the year that the BC Conservative Party builds riding associations right across the province.

• 2018 will be the year the BC Conservative Party takes a back seat to no one!

This will be the year for all of us to build the vehicle that will lead, focus, and bring together the voices of British Columbians.

You will be the one to help direct, and shape, the policies we create to make a positive difference for all.

ONLY with your support, can we become the meeting point, the place to converge, for those who for too long have felt they have no say in government decision making.

Now it's up to you.

Are you willing to take on a roll, big or small, to help grow our party? I hope your answer is yes. Now with that, I await your call or email to me!

Sincerely,
Alan Forseth
Regional Director, BC Conservative Party

BC cannot regulate, redesign, and reinterpret its way to a stable forestry sector. Communities need clear rules, predictable timelines, and accountability for results.

Photo credit:  Atli Resources LP   BC’s Forestry Crisis Continues with Closure of Beaver Cove Chip Facility   As industry leaders, Indigenous partners, and contractors gather this week at the BC Natural Resources Forum in Prince George, the gap between government rhetoric and reality could not be clearer. Just hours after the Eby government once again touted reconciliation, certainty, and economic opportunity under DRIPA, Atli Chip Ltd, a company wholly owned by the ’Na̱mg̱is First Nation, announced it is managing the orderly closure of its Beaver Cove chip facility. The closure comes despite public tax dollars, repeated government announcements, and assurances that new policy frameworks would stabilize forestry employment and create long-term opportunity in rural and coastal British Columbia. “British Columbians are being told one story, while communities are living another,” said Ward Stamer, Critic for Forests. “This closure makes it clear that announcement...

Stamer: Hope for Forestry Completely Shattered After Another Provincial Review Driven by DRIPA

IMAGE CREDIT:  Provincial Forestry Advisory Council Conservative Critic for Forests Ward Stamer says the final report from the Provincial Forestry Advisory Council confirms the worst fears of forestry workers and communities; instead of addressing the real issues driving mill closures and job losses, the NDP has produced a report that ignores industry realities and doubles down on governance restructuring. Despite years of warnings from forestry workers, contractors, and industry organizations about permitting delays, regulatory costs, fibre access, and the failure of BC Timber Sales, the PFAC report offers no urgency, no timelines, and no concrete action to stop the ongoing decline of the sector. “ This report completely shatters any remaining hope that the government is serious about saving forestry ,” said Stamer.  “ We didn’t need another study to tell us what industry has been saying for years. While mills close and workers lose their livelihoods, the NDP is focused on re...

FORSETH – My question is, ‘How do we decide who is blue enough to be called a Conservative?’

How do we decide who’s blue enough to be a Conservative? AS OF TODAY (Friday January 30 th ), there are now eight individuals who have put their names forward to lead the Conservative Party of British Columbia. Having been involved with BC’s Conservatives since 2010, and having seen MANY ups and downs, having 8 people say “I want to lead the party” is to me, an incredible turn-around from the past. Sadly, however, it seems that our party cannot seem to shake what I, and others, call a purity test of ‘what is a Conservative’. And that seems to have already come to the forefront of the campaign by a couple of candidates. Let me just say as a Conservative Party of BC member, and as someone active in the party, that frustrates me to no end. Conservatives, more than any other political philosophy or belief, at least to me, seems to have the widest and broadest spectrum of ideals.   For the most part, they are anchored by these central thoughts --- smaller and less intru...
