“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

Nanaimo Conservative Party of Canada EDA President Mark MacDonald should do the right thing ... resign


CPC EDA President Mark MacDonalds
statement for January 16th
It seems Conservative Party of Canada Nanaimo EDA President, Mark MacDonald, was taking desperate measures today to explain away his recent shot AGAINST the BC Conservative Party. 

In my opinion however, and using the immortal words of Ricky Riccardo, he has ... "more splainin" to do.

No matter what he is now saying today, On January 16th HE WAS in fact advising Conservative Party of Canada members, to vote for the bc LIBERALS.

And ... he was doing it with the Nanaimo EDA logo and social media account. And he did the exact same thing today!

TODAY'S statement from Nanaimo-Ladysmith
Conservative Party EDA President Mark MacDondald
If, in fact, he was just trying to make a personal comment, and now wants us to believe he made a bad hash of it, then why was he using Conservative Party of Canada logo and account? 

That seems pretty deliberate to me ... and I am guessing again several bylaws and principles of the Conservative Party of Canada.

People have had to resign for that same thing in the past – the improper use of registered and copy-written material ... or speaking a personal opinion but using the Official Office he is elected to, to do so.

It’s my opinion therefore, Mark MacDonald should do the right thing, and also resign.  That way, if he wants to support the BC Liberal Party, he’ll be free and clear to do so.

    This has been an issue for the BCCP for a very long time. The Federal Conservatives do not and have never supported the BCCP. In fact the CPC has gone out of its way to distance itself from the BCCP. To make matters worse Andrew Scheer has pulled the CPC to a centrist position, hardly differentiating it from the Federal Liberals. Why would you be surprised that they are supporting the provincial Liberals? The People's Party of Canada (PPC) is a better fit for the BCCP than the CPC. When is the BCCP going to wake up and negotiate with the PPC for recognition?

    A Liberal in blue isn’t a CONSERVATIVE. We know the difference. Andrew Wilkinson is a Trudeau boy, just blowin smoke. They will never build the pipe line. This attack by Mark MacDonald is just the latest of many. Regards Don Purdey

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...
