“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

Conservative leader Trevor Bolin says, ‘We are flattered the official opposition (BC Liberals) shared our same concerns from a month earlier’

Trevor Bolin ... leader of the Conservative Party of BC


Nearly a month ago (June 19th), Conservative Party of BC leader, Trevor Bolin, remarked to me that the party is “... hoping that Victoria has an effective restart plan, keeping in mind the BC forest industry was struggling before COVID-19 ... and long term plans for forestry, mining, energy and

agriculture need to be included so all regions of BC can emerge stronger.”

He went on to say, “We would support a reduction - or removal - of PST on hotels, restaurants and fuel, and a removal of the carbon tax to encourage a rebound in tourism and help all British Columbians”.

Once Dr. Bonnie Henry gives us the okay to open the province up, to more tourism, the old adage of ‘BC’ equals ‘Bring Cash’ needs to end. Punitive taxes have been milking tourists for years.”

And further, on the taxes we as British Columbians pay to government?

"We are suffering death by a thousand punitive taxes ... all consumption taxes are regressive, and”, he continued, “they impact the poor more than the wealthy”.

Now, earlier this week, several provincial media outlets were reporting that the BC Liberals were calling on the NDP government of Premier John Horgan to put a temporary halt on sales taxes.

In just one of the news stories (from News 1130) Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson was quoted saying, “When we’ve been successful combating COVID-19, we should be more advanced in our recovery plan. We shouldn’t be waiting for the situation to resolve itself elsewhere before we get going on rebuilding British Columbia.”

Okay ... so look above ... at the comments of Trevor Bolin.

See anything familiar?

Last night, I asked for his thoughts on the similarities -- he just laughed, while saying ... “We are flattered the official opposition shared our same concerns from a month earlier".

We’re taking the concerns of British Columbians seriously. In next October’s provincial election, we’ll have a full package of grass roots policies and platforms that people expect from a party represented by the people, for the people of BC”.

And, we will be backed by stellar candidates across the province”, Bolin concluded.

Comments

  1. My comment is that the BC Libs never met a tax they didn't like. Everything from them imposing the carbon tax in the first place to them jacking MSP premiums up basically shows their hand openly.

    I am skeptical of the BC Libs as their words are usually pretty hollow. It is pretty simple to stand on a podium and shake a fist at the government but the Libs have no real credibility. No one can trust them. Not after the endless scandals that they had or their abysmal fiscal record.

    BC needs a better option. Mr. Bolin better remember this. He is at this time an option for people of that perspective and he needs to show what the difference is between the BC Conservatives and the BC Libs.

  2. Thanks for taking the time to comment and ensuring I was able to hear your thoughts.

    As we continue to work hard ensuring British Columbians know who I am as leader of the Conservatives, our policies, platforms and Made in B.C. plan will also become a lot more widely known.

    We are certainly very different from the B.C. Liberals, and are positive people from all over this province will see why we are the best choice to lead B.C. and her people.

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
