“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

Budget 2027: After a Decade of Decline, NDP Budget Delivers an Assault on Seniors, Working Families, and Small Businesses

Peter Milobar, BC Conservative Finance Critic, condemned the NDP government’s latest budget as the result of a decade of decline that has left British Columbians broke, unsafe, and paying more for less.   “After ten years of NDP mismanagement, this budget is an assault on seniors, working families, and the small businesses that drive our economy,” said Milobar. “The NDP have turned their back on the people working hardest to make ends meet and the seniors who built this province.” Milobar pointed to a new $1.1 billion annual income tax increase and warned that the government is piling new costs onto households already struggling with affordability.   “This government keeps asking British Columbians for more, while delivering less,” Milobar said. “The question people are asking is simple: Where has all the money gone?” Milobar noted that BC has gone from a surplus in the first year of NDP government to a projected deficit of more than $13 billion this year, while prov...

WARD STAMER -- Those are REAL forestry numbers, not just made-up numbers

The following is a condensed version of remarks Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s made, regarding Forestry, in the BC Legislature, on Tuesday afternoon (02/24/2026)   Let’s talk a little bit, when we talk about Budget 2026, about the forest industry, which is near and dear to my heart. Forestry remains one of British Columbia’s foundational industries. It’s a pillar that built this province. Entire communities depend upon it. Interior towns, northern communities, Vancouver Island regions, the Kootenays, the Lower Mainland, with manufacturing facilities in Surrey and Maple Ridge, just to name a few — everywhere in BC is touched by forestry. One word that was not mentioned in Budget 2026 was forestry. That’s a shame, an incredible shame. It wasn’t an oversight – it was intentional. This government has driven forestry into the ground .... INTO THE GROUND! We can talk a little bit about some of the initiatives that this government has brought forth, to try to resurrect ...

FORSETH -- Before anyone gets excited about one poll showing a candidate with a 25 percent lead, and 44 percent support overall, let’s give it a few more weeks

Is this based in reality -- how accurate are the numbers? In the past couple of weeks a couple of candidates, for the leadership of the BC Conservative Party, have been presenting polling results that they lead the pack – one even going so far as to say they have a lock on 44% of those who will be voting, and a twenty-five percent lead over the individual ranked second. I am going to say that this one, from Kerry-Lynne Findlay, is highly suspect. First of all the company conducting the poll, ERG National Research, is not a Member of Industry Bodies (the Canadian Research Insights Council), meaning they do not adhere to established industry standards for research, such as transparency, privacy, and methodological rigor. AI Overview states that ... based on alerts from the Canadian Research Insights Council (CRIC) and reports, ERG National Research should be treated with extreme caution regarding its reliability, and legitimacy, in conducting political polling. Before I even read this in...
