“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

BC Conservatives say, ‘The good news? We aren’t gathering to just talk about issues facing British Columbians; we are gathering to plan our future -- the future of British Columbia -- a future that includes us all’


BC Conservatives are a day away (Saturday) from their Annual General Meeting, in Abbotsford, and according to Party officials, excitement is growing about the possibilities, and future, for a party that was once a strong force in the province.

“One of the reasons for our growing appeal over the past several months”, related Conservative Party leader Trevor Bolin, “Is that people are realizing the need for a common sense choice, or option; and people need that choice, now more than ever”.

At the AGM, according to Bolin, the membership will continue on the road to forming policies, and a platform, that will benefit families, create jobs, reduce the cost of living and set BC on a course that we can be proud of for generations.

“We have seen the long term effects the BC Liberals have caused in initiating a Carbon Tax which hurt B C families, and did little to benefit the environment”, Bolin remarked.

“We have seen the continuation of high sky rates from ICBC, money laundering claims relating to sky high real estate prices in some areas of the province, and the list does on”.

“However, I would be remiss”, he continued, “if we did not talk about the NDP’s brief, yet extremely negative effects of increased taxes, blocking resource projects, and sitting by idly as a once proud forest industry declines into in shambles”.

“All of these issues are the direct result of a government, led by Premier John Horgan, that has been negligent in its disregard to engaging with, or listening to, British Columbians”.

The party is encouraging all members to attend the Annual General Meeting, which gets underway tomorrow in Abbotsford at 9am; being held at The Rancho on Delair Road.

“We need the involvement not just of members, but of all British Columbians, to help in creating a party that will shape the future of BC using common sense”.

Bolin concluded his comments by stating, “Here’s the good news. We aren’t gathering to just talk about issues facing British Columbians; we are gathering to plan our future -- the future of British Columbia -- a future that includes us all”.

FORSETH -- Given the noted infractions of this agreement with OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, I request the Party immediate suspend the leadership campaign of Yuri Fulmer

I have personally emailed the following to the Board and Administration of the Conservative Party of BC:   TODAY (03/30) Yuri Fulmer, a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of BC, made a pact with ONEBC leader Dallas Broldie, that if he is elected will commit the Conservative Party to the following.

Delays to the replacement of the Red Bridge? Kamloops North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer says they are, “Totally Unacceptable.”

I think it’s totally unacceptable that on one hand the Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MoTT) is saying they’re going to be responsible for putting together multiple replacement options with public engagement, and then in the same breath they're saying, ‘Oh, and by the way, we're going to start our geotechnical environmental and archaeological site assessments on both sides of the river, possibly beginning this summer.’ According to Stamer, that should already have been done. “Obviously, we're pretty sure it will be in the same location because there's really no other place to put it. So, if you're going to put in a bridge, you think that at least you'd be doing the archaeological assessments first off”, stated Stamer.   “If it's determined it has to be a free-span bridge, and it can't have anything or very minimal impact in the riverbed, they should already be determining that. It would help in the design, wouldn't it?” Stamer indicated...

Your government has a gambling problem (Troy Media)

Provinces call it “revenue,” but it looks a lot like exploitation of the marginalized The odds of winning Lotto Max are about 1 in 33 million. You’re statistically more likely to be struck by lightning than to win it. But your government is betting that statistics won’t hold you back; they’re counting on it. Across Canada, provincial governments not only regulate gambling, they also maintain a monopoly on lottery and gaming by owning and operating the entire legal market. That means every scratch card is government-issued, gambling odds are government-set, casino ads are government-funded and lottery billboards are government-paid. And these are not incidental government activities. They generate significant revenues that governments have powerful incentives to expand, not constrain. It would be one thing for our governments to encourage us to engage in healthy activities. We can quibble about whether the government should be trying to convince us to be more active or eat more vegetabl...
