“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

JODY WILSON-RABYOULD -- these challenges share a fundamental characteristic – they ignore boundaries between nations and peoples. They impact all of us, remind us of the ways we are interconnected


A message from Jody Wilson Raybould ...

Just over two weeks ago, I announced that I will run for re-election in the 2019 federal election in Vancouver Granville and that I will be running as an Independent candidate. The response I have received in Vancouver Granville and beyond has been overwhelming and encouraging. Thanks to your support, I am more resolute than ever in this journey we have begun together.

With a little over four months ahead of us until the election, we have much work to do. We hope we can count on your continued support. There are many ways to contribute and get involved:


Volunteer
I am pleased to share that we kicked off our first canvas this past weekend with an energetic team of volunteers. We will be canvassing every week and offering training opportunities to newcomers. Please join us for one of our upcoming activities by signing up as a volunteer. Feel free to identify the other volunteer opportunities of interest to you. We will be posting upcoming activities on the Upcoming Events page on my website. 


Donate
As you may know, donations made before the election period will receive a receipt but are not eligible for a tax credit. (After the election writ drops, any further donations will be eligible for a tax credit.) I am thrilled that in spite of this disadvantage, we have received many donations, but we have a long way to go.

You can help get our campaign off to a great start by making a donation today. Every contribution – no matter the amount - makes a difference.


Share your ideas
Many of you are part of this journey because you want to strengthen our democracy and see politics done differently. I want to hear your thoughts about democratic reform and other policy issues. Please share your ideas on the Issues page of the website.

Thank you for your continued support and for your interest in our democratic process. Together, we will shape the change we wish to see in politics.

Gilakas’la.

Jody

RCMP gag order comes after BC NDP catch heat for diverted safe supply (Northern Beat)

In the wake of several high-profile police drug seizures of suspected safer supply that put the BC NDP government on the defensive last month, BC RCMP “E” division issued a gag order on detachments, directing them to run all communications on “hot button” public safety issues through headquarters in the lead-up to the provincial election. “It is very clear we are in a pre-election time period and the topic of ‘public safety’ is very much an issue that governments and voters are discussing,” writes a senior RCMP communications official in an email dated Mar. 11 in what appears to have gone out to all BC RCMP detachments . . . .

KRUGELL: BC NDP turns its attention from BC United to BC Conservatives

The BC NDP turning its attention, from BC United, to BC Conservatives was reported over the weekend from a variety of sources. It is the result of the surge in the BC Conservative's polling numbers and the subsequent collapse of BC United. The NDP has largely ignored the BC Conservatives, instead they opt to talk about issues directly or attack their old foes BC United. Practical politics says that parties closer to the centre tend to ultimately prevail over the long haul. They do wane but often make comebacks. A good example is the federal Liberals going from third party to government in 2015. Centrism has a lot of appeal on voting day. The NDP shifting its fire from United to Conservative is a reflection of reality. BC United did buy advertising online and radio over the last few months. Did that shift the polls back to them? Nope. The reality is today, the BC Conservatives are the party of the Opposition, and day by day the Conservatives are looking like a party not ready to fig

Baldrey: 2024 meets 1991? How B.C. election history could repeat itself (Times Colonist)

NOTE ... not the original image from Keith Baldrey's op/ed 1991 BC general election -- Wikipedia   A veteran NDP cabinet minister stopped me in the legislature hallway last week and revealed what he thinks is the biggest vulnerability facing his government in the fall provincial election. It’s not housing, health care, affordability or any of the other hot button issues identified by pollsters. "I think we are way too complacent,” he told me. “Too many people on our side think winning elections are easy.” He referenced the 1991 election campaign as something that could repeat itself. What was supposed to be an easy NDP victory then almost turned into an upset win for the fledgling BC Liberal Party. Indeed, the parallels between that campaign and the coming fall contest are striking ... CLICK HERE for the full story
