“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

Nurses Take Job Action After Years of NDP Neglect

Image Credit:  BC Nurses Union BC nurses have reached a breaking point after years of unsafe conditions, rising violence in the workplace and a government that wouldn’t listen. Now they are on the picket line fighting to be heard. Last week, nurses began job action with a 72-hour strike notice, refusing non-essential overtime and stepping back from non-nursing duties. As of Tuesday, they have escalated to picket lines for the first time in decades. This moment was avoidable. It is the result of years of unanswered concerns from the frontline workers who keep our hospitals running. Nurses have been raising the same concerns for years: unsafe staffing levels, rising violence on the job, and a workload no single person should have to carry. None of it is new, and none of it should have taken a strike vote to get the government's attention. "Nurses are exercising their legal right to job action, but it shouldn’t have had to come to this," said Kiel Giddens, MLA for...

British Columbians Still Don’t Know Who’s Paying for NDP’s BC Hydro Deal

The NDP is making billion-dollar promises with BC Hydro, but British Columbians still don’t know who will pay the bill. Last week’s memorandum of understanding isn’t what the federal government and the NDP are making it out to be. It’s an admission that the NDP failed to make the long-term investments needed to keep B.C. powered. Now British Columbians have serious questions about the cost and whether BC Hydro ratepayers will end up paying the price. David L. Williams, MLA for Salmon Arm-Shuswap and Shadow Minister for BC Hydro and Electrical Energy Development , said British Columbians deserve clear answers about the full implications of the Canada–British Columbia Cooperative Prosperity Agreement. “British Columbians deserve the full truth,” said Mr. Williams. “This multi-billion-dollar announcement does not answer who pays for cost overruns, who pays for new generation, who carries the risk if industrial customers do not materialize, or whether ratepayers will be forced ...

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...
