“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

Why are the mainstream media not asking Andrew Wilkinson why he's suggesting people relinquish their right to have a say on how they vote?


Over the past several weeks, I have made no bones about the fact the BC Liberals are wrong when it comes to telling us not to vote on questions #2 of the referendum currently underway.

As I have stated, their mantra is One and Done, to which I have said …

THEY ARE MISLEADING THE PEOPLE OF BC.

What they are recommending that you do is to potentially relinquish the opportunity to have a say in how you get to vote in the next election … the following two … and perhaps even more.

I cannot believe that they would do such a thing, however it seems that their goal is to simply drive down the number of referendum ballots being completed … by creating a false sense of confusion on the ballot itself.

THAT SHOCKS ME … and it should shock you as well.

First Past the Post (FPTP)?

If that is your preference then by all means, vote to retain it. BUT, for heavens sake, make sure you also complete the second half of the ballot regarding Proportional Representation options (Pro-Rep).  And as you begin that task – DO NOT let the BS of the BC Liberal party, about how hard it is, filter into your mind.

DISREGARD IT COMPLETELY because it is NOT true!

And in stating that, I question why those in the mainstream media have not called out the BC Liberals out on this.  Why are they not asking Andrew Wilkinson why he would suggest people surrender their right to have a say on how they vote?

To say I am disappointed they are not doing so, would be mild.

There is still time yet for Rob Shaw … Keith Baldry … Tom Fletcher ... Shane Woodford … Andrew MacLeod, and other BC political reporters to ask Andrew Wilkinson:

“Why are you telling people to potentially give up their right to have a say on how they vote in the future”

“Why are you misinforming people by deliberately telling them how how hard it is to decide, when Elections BC is filled with un-biased material and information?”

Those are just two of many questions the mainstream political media of BC should be bombarding the Opposition Leader with.  If they don’t the people of BC will be the losers because in part, the news media will not have done their job. 

One and Done is wrong … and if you care to check back on why I believe this, please read the following if you missed them before:

 Todd Stone says, “One and Done” -- No need to fill in Question 2”. Respectfully, he and his fellow BC Liberal MLAs are wrong    CLICK HERE  

Each and every one of them is recommending an erroneous suggestion, which could alter your democratic right to be heard   CLICK HERE

Abbotsford-Mission MLA Reann Gasper to step down for Conservative Leader Hon. Kerry-Lynne Findlay to run in a by-election

Deputy Whip and MLA Reann Gasper has informed the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia of her decision to step down as MLA for Abbotsford-Mission, creating an opportunity for Conservative Party of British Columbia Leader Hon.

NDP Sits on $61 Million With No Start Date for Burnaby Hospital

Phase 2 of Burnaby Hospital redevelopment  was green lit to go ahead in September 2023 The NDP spent $45 million on the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment, cancelled the second phase, and now has another $61 million listed for the project in the province’s Public Accounts, with no start date for construction. If the NDP cancelled the project, what is happening to the $61 million set aside for it? The Phase 2 project was expected to cost between $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion and was intended to expand the hospital’s capacity. With Burnaby’s population growing and residents struggling to access healthcare, the government should be investing in healthcare capacity, not leaving millions of dollars tied up in limbo. “The NDP spent $45 million on this project before cancelling it, and now $61 million remains listed for it in the Public Accounts,” said MLA Misty Van Popta, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure. “If the government isn’t going to build the hospital expansion, it should explain whe...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...
