FORSETH – Why is Chuck Strahl misleading members of the Conservative Party of Canada

UPDATE --- I have been just advised as to why there is a  discrepancy in polling results, noted in my original post from this morning:

" ... the official poll cited by Chuck Strahl is the one taken by Zoom after the debate, so that poll is of the people who actually watched it.

The polls cited by VanC were conducted on Twitter, so only people with Twitter accounts answered that, and ANYONE on Twitter could answer that.

So much as I love Dr. Lewis, the article you linked to is fake news, and Chuck Strahl is not a liar. He is citing the more accurate poll ..."


STILL ... it is a shame that there was not clarity provided as to when and how the pol was taken and conducted ... Alan




WHY IS CHUCK STRAHL, a supporter of Erin O'Toole in the campaign to become leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, misleading members of the party?

 

This morning I received an email from him, sent out by the O'Toole campaign. In the email Strahl

Screen shot of email
from Chuck Strahl
(July 12th at 8:22am)
indicated that prior to the BC EDA debate on Tuesday, that Erin and Leslyn were tied at 33% support amongst viewers.


HOWEVER ... he then claimed that after the debate, support had changed with viewers giving O'Toole 37% support compared to 26% support for Dr, Leslyn Lewis (see attached screen shot from the email I received at 8:22am this morning).

 

THAT IS NOT TRUE as you can see in the screenshot image of a Tweet by the Vancouver Centre EDA. It show that Leslyn Lewis was clearly the winner coming out with 45.5% of debate viewers indicating she had won.

 

Even Tweets by Vivian Krause and one by the Post Millennial had Leslyn Lewis winning the debate.

 

TELL THE TRUTH Chuck ...

“4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block being salvaged?” ~~ Ward Stamer, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA

Today, BC NDP forest Minister Ravi Parmar made this pronouncement; ‘Removing red tape has sped up permitting, allowing for more wood to be salvaged, quicker’. 4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block?    ~~ BC Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer While acknowledging the NDP government has recognized improvements were needed in permitting and accessing burnt fibre in a timely fashion, the reality is, they are barely making a dent in the problem.  This government's recognition that only seven percent of pulp mill fibre came from burnt timber in 2024-25, quite simply put, is a failure. And the recent announcement, just three weeks ago, that the Crofton Pulp Mill would be permanently closing, is proof of that.     Instead of Premier David Eby’s government addressing core issues being faced by British Columbia’s forest industry, they are doing little more than manipulating the facts, ...

A message from BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer, and the Kamloops – North Thompson Riding Association

2025 was a busy first year. As a Caucus, we worked very hard to defeat Bills 14 and 15, legislation which allows the provincial government to move ahead without environmental assessments on renewable projects, and that also allows cabinet to build infrastructure projects without getting approval from local municipal governments. This is not acceptable to your BC Conservative caucus, and we will continue to press this government for open and transparent projects in the future.  Two things we had success in were having the first Private Members bill passed in over 40 years. The first was Jody Toors Prenatal and Post Natal Care bill, and then there was my private members Bill M217 Mandatory Dashcams in commercial vehicles (passed second reading unanimously and is heading to Committee in February). Regrettably, much of the legislation passed by the government was little more than housekeeping bills, or opportunities to strengthen the ability of Cabinet Ministers to bypass the BC legi...

Wildfire waste plan torched -- Forestry critic Stamer calls BC's wildfire salvage rate 'a failure'

Claims that BC is making progress salvaging wildfire-damaged timber are masking deeper problems in the forest sector, the province’s forestry critic says. Last week, BC’s Ministry of Forests said mills in the province processed more than one million cubic metres of wildfire chips in 2024-25, up from 500,000 cubic metres in 2023 and representing about seven per cent of all processed wood. Kamloops-North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer said those claims of progress ignore the reality that only a fraction of burned timber is being used ... CLICK HERE for the full story
