“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

“Premier John Horgan needs to act quickly and decisively to grow jobs and the economy for the benefit of all British Columbians, not just the chosen groups”, says BC’s Conservative leader Trevor Bolin

Today, according to Conservatives in BC ... British Columbians were witness to the devastating unveiling of the provincial governments $12.5 billion dollar deficit, followed by no plan to get us back to work or to get the Provinces financials in the black.

Speaking from Fort St. John, following the economic update from BC Finance Minister Carole James, the provinces Conservative leader, Trevor Bolin, stated:

“COVID-19 has been disastrous on families across this Province, it has shuttered family businesses in cities from the north to the south, and communities that were once flourishing are now floundering with no assistance from the BC NDP government of Premier John Horgan”.

“We as British Columbians deserve more. We do not and can not base our livelihoods on more promises of government funding in the fall. I can not look at my school age children and grow more concerned by the day that this Government is spending us into years beyond their university school days”.

A release from the Conservative Party of British Columbia stated that Conservatives understand the economy, and the importance -- and relevance -- of resource and retail jobs for this province.

According to Bolin, “Premier John Horgan needs to act quickly, and decisively, to grow jobs and the economy for the benefit of all British Columbians -- not just the chosen groups”.

“BC’s unemployment is soaring, towns and regions that once relied on tourism are trying to survive and having to choose what bills they pay, and what bills they don’t”, the Conservative leader continued.

“BC needs a plan, and British Columbian’s deserve a government with a plan to get our residents back to work – a plan that’s Made In BC”, Bolin concluded.

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.

FORSETH -- Focus on the nine things I mentioned. That’s what will allow the Conservative Party to win the next election

IMAGE CREDIT:   Darryl Dyck, the Canadian Press. I thought I had already made up my mind who I would be ranking on my ballot, in the Conservative Party of BC leadership race; now I am not so sure.  That means that, at least for me, and perhaps many others, it’s a good thing voting hasn’t already taken place. There were initially only one or two of the candidates that I thought might be a little too right of centre for my liking, now it seems that list is growing. I consider myself more closely aligned with what used to be called a Progressive Conservative, regardless, I feel more than comfortable within the Conservative Party of BC.  Some, however, in messages to me on my political Facebook page, have been rather, shall we say, a bit mean-spirited in comments they’ve made about my ‘purity’ as a conservative. To tell you the truth, I really don’t care! Some leadership candidates, in comments made online, have also been raising the issue of who is a pure enough conservati...

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...
