“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

ADAM OLSEN -- What have we learned -- How are we responding -- What can we do now to limit our vulnerability and increase our resilience


Join my live Facebook broadcast, Monday to Thursday, beginning at 7:15pm.

CLICK HERE to visit my Facebook live videos page to view the broadcast and see upcoming guests.

In each broadcast I will highlight the latest updates from the provincial government, and invite a guest into the conversation to learn how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting them and their work.

If you are not on Facebook you can view the live-stream on the home page of my website.

The physical distancing, and social isolation orders, from public health and safety officials have kept us home for weeks. It has disrupted the daily rhythm and flow of life for everyone.

For our operation, the Saanich North and the Islands constituency office is closed to walk-in traffic. As a result, we have adapted so we can continue to serve our constituents and communities remotely.

The public health emergency and economic crisis has devastated life as we knew it.

This extraordinary situation is impacting us all very differently and I am curious to hear how people have adjusted their lives, their work and recreation.

What have we learned? 

How are we responding? 

What can we do now to limit our vulnerability and increase our resilience?

As an elected official I want to know the impacts of our public policy decisions and how we can improve them.

GORDON F. D. WILSON: When The Trick Masquerades as The Treat

Thirty-seven years ago, Halloween 1987, I became the leader of the BC Liberal Party.   British Columbia was badly polarized. Social Credit held one side and the NDP the other. It had been twelve years, 1975, since Liberal MLAs Garde Gardom, Pat McGeer, and Alan Williams had walked away from their party to join Social Credit, one year after the lone Progressive Conservative MLA Hugh Curtis had abandoned his party to sit with Bill Bennett, the son and heir apparent to long-serving BC Premier, WAC Bennett.   An unwritten agreement by the biggest Canadian political shareholders, the federal Liberals and Conservatives, decided that if British Columbia was to remain a lucrative franchise from a revenue perspective, they couldn’t risk splitting the electoral vote and electing the real enemy, the NDP, so no resources would be used to finance either a Liberal or Conservative party provincially.   “There are two sides to every street,” I was told by a very prominent Canadian businessman who cont

FORSETH: As a BC Conservative member, and campaign worker, I will again state that the fact these errors were found -- AND brought to light BY Elections BC -- shows the system IS working

Sadly, two and a half weeks after the BC provincial election campaign, those who want to undermine our political process are still at.  PLUS, we also have one who doesn’t even live in our country, never mind our province. I speak of the buffoon running for President of the United States, who has poisoned the well when it comes to faith in the electoral process. Just today alone, comments such as the following, were being made of posts that I shared online: ... all the votes they keep finding has just favoured NDP on in all critical ridings and soon they will flip another riding in favour of NDP, Come on. ... Elections BC has ridiculed British Columbians, and I no longer have confidence or trust in their process and competence regarding the results Then there are others online, with comments like these – who are claiming fraud in the October 19th election: ... Who is the oversight for Elections BC? They should be investigated for election fraud! ... Fraudulent election ... should be red

Rob Shaw: Eby should be worried why mudslinging missed the mark in B.C. election

  Why did a BC NDP election campaign overwhelmingly focused on attacking the character of the BC Conservatives fail to prevent a blue wave that came within 27 votes of toppling the governing party? Partly because voters didn’t much care for, or about, all the New Democrat mudslinging. They were just hopping mad about some very specific issues ... CLICK HERE for the full story
